What a sad world we now live in.......


What a sad world.....

Had to go to our local Wal-Mart for something for the wife and thought would check out CD,s while here.

Could not find them so asked where to be told they had decided to stop selling them in-store.

In fact the whole electronics section looked bare and desolate.

Pretty sure a sign of the buy online times we now live in.

I'm playing at least one Doris Day album (LP) per night for five nights as a tribute to "The Girl Next Door." She sounds terrific, especially on the "Day by Day" album. It's the kind of mono recording that has you wondering ... who needs stereo? 

Did someone mention something about streaming?  :-)

Hey, I feel the same as uberwaltz. I love my physical media. Not knocking streaming, it saves a lot of space, but I like my cds, sacds and lps.
"Teo-audio" apparently lacks the mental authority to understand how modern technology can enrich one's enjoyment of music. Rather than trying to come up with a unified theory of the end of the world, I might advise a subscription to Tidal and listening to some music he/she has never heard before.

I understand that not all of us have the IQ to fully understand the marvels of technology, but even intellectually challenged individuals such as "Teo-audio" are capable of making an emotional connection to music well conceived, recorded, and played back.
"Most music made today imo sucks!"
I can sign under this sentence, but many people who are as old now as I was when I started liking what I still like, would be baffled. They like music made today much more than music made yesterday. Their kids will like the music made the day after tomorrow.
