Losing Touch

I lost touch just about when the Cars released that album. Clearly remember transferring that record to a fresh TDK cassette for the car.Their debut album was fantastic at the time. Very "new" since LZ,Stones,Who...were essentially done.

Gave up records for CD's to play on the "rack" Technics system through the 80's while boycotting R&R after 1979!

The ironic thing is very little new music holds my interest now and I've collected plenty of 80-90's records in  genres I despised.
It DOESNT  include  the glam metal scene,rap or pop MTV had such an influence on back then.

Guess I'm doing the cycle of life thing. My lack of awareness in my young 20's would never consider Classical,Jazz and Blues in 1981. Now, those genres get most play on the record machine.

Currently blasting   a minty Led Zep debut on the table,and there's  21 vacuum tubes RED HOT.

Because Music is hard-wired in humans, audio can be a more compelling 
hobby than stamps or model trains .
Many of us have self -induced OCD.

Happy Listening!

Thanks for reminding me how much I like the Cars.  I'm having serious flashbacks!

I never stopped listening to The Cars, or Ric's solo stuff (which I prefer to The Cars stuff).  Exploring for new music has been an obsession of mine, even at the ripe old age of 57.  Internet radio has been a huge help in this.  I have recently discovered many new bands and singers, especially a lot of good, if obscure, EDM and Electronica.  If you like The Cars, you might like a lot of the newer Electronica, which has its roots in 80's synth rock.
