Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw I suppose we were not the first and only older guys to react with that idea when Ryan Adams and Uncle Tupelo became cool ...

.... Which reminds me of my other currently running crackpot Neil Young-related idea: that Courtney Barnett is really his secret un-acknowledged love child....

And probably a a good thing if not too many people read this post...

and I would add Son Volt, even tho I love them as I recall n80 may as well...

so, for me and it sounds like many, jamesclarke, slaw, et al associate an album with a time, friends, experience..and they say memory is just chemical emotion.....

I have cleaned but NOT yet listened to the RSD 4-Way Street....I guess I am saving it for just the right evening and some Rye @darmento thank you !!!! Like James, there is a story..

i was forever changed by attending an elite E coast prep school for a bit on an athletic scholarship ( my parents were not wealthy). Think Dead Poets society with girls...

anyway, in the hour or so between end of study hours and lights out, we would roam the halls in search of new music or music to trade. EVERYONE had a cassette deck, piracy was rampant....some kids had a 100+ bootleg dead shows....There were of course LP’s you would find in most every room. 4-Way was one of those along with Decade, Europe 72, Waiting for Columbus, One More from the Road, Eat a Peach, you get the drift.....
I guess I heard so much 4 Way, I tuned it out...Maybe 2 much “wood” and not enough Cortez the Killer....anyway, took me many years to acquire a taste for a physical copy of 4-Way and then on CD...so I was super pumped to score that on RSD 2019...

coming soon.....ya man

but...I was spoiled....before I left for school, they let me spend my summer job earnings on a stereo..
Denon Table w Denon arm a $100 Grado, Onkyo A-5 integrated that stayed in class A to 5 wpc ( perfect for a dorm room, can ya dig ) and Infinity Qb with the magic EMIT tweeter.....milkcrate stands, zip cord...

and because it is music related....on way back from bathroom at something like 1 am, walked past faculty apartment door, which was open a crack....could hear Neil Young singing “ Hey Hey, My My”..
knocked on door, Dude answers....has his Phd from Oxford....I ask is that the new Neil ? He says yes. Invites me in. Pours me a neat Rye. We listen in silence. ( Kenwood w EPi ) and I depart about 2 am with just a nod and a word of thanks....
