Whats on your turntable tonight?

I concur with your justifications @mammothguy54. Here’s another one, while I don’t presume to say stop going to live shows ( we’re now forced to mostly), I can always hear the band I want anytime without spending $35 on up for a one time experience.

ZZ Top "Rio Grande Mud" pp

Calexico / Tool box 

@boxer12,

Saw on All-Music that Calexico has a holiday lp out..."Seasonal Shift". That should be interesting?

"Algiers"

I agree with you @mammothguy and @slaw - records are a priority.  I have been buying on average more like 2 records a day though.   Trying to make up for lost time I guess...  at $5-25 it was one thing but after just a couple of years it’s $25-125.  So, things will probably change.  I don’t want to whine about it.  I think it’s a great time to live in if you like recorded music.  Funny, I had been thinking lately about priorities in the same way.  What used to be the restaurant money now goes toward hot platters.
