Another Music Direct Catalog observation

I didn't want to hijack an existing thread about the current catalog's Joni cover so I started this one.

You know, I was thinking about this after I received my catalog and how burned out I was on "boomer music". I know as a Gen Xer, I've been saturated by Boomer culture since I came of age in the 80's, and my appreciation for these artists has waned in part because of their saturation in audiophile circles.

Yes, the MD catalog does pay lip service to contemporary artists, but its adherence to a musical paradigm that peaked 45 years ago or so is symptomatic of the undeniable waning of "hi-fi" as a hobby.

For sure Winnardt but the industry fought back with the Indies. Now everyone has their own label and the industry??????
Music changed and became more... progressive which one either likes or not so much. Just look at the evolution of Radiohead or Wilco.

All I can say is, after purchasing a MOFI Ultradeck about 6 months ago, the first new LP I bought was Joni's Blue ( 180 gram ). I had not had a turntable for about thirty years and my wife is a Joni fan. It sounds great.
