Digging out the vinyl

I'm hooking my turntable up tonight. It's been sitting in a box since I moved into my apartment over a year ago. Hard to believe it's been that long. Can't wait to dig into the vinyl once again. I love the whole experience of playing records - the hiss, the scratches and pops, and the warmth of the sound. No CD can come close.

I started buying records when I was in high school. I think the first vinyl purchase was from a Montreal band called M.S.I. It was a 7" with six songs and I still have it.

I'll have to give it a spin tonight. Looking forward to listening to DRI's Dealing With It album and some old SNFU.

(just noticed that the three bands I just mentioned all have acronyms for names!)
