Death to Kindles!

Comment by Mim Golub Scalin on April 21, 2012 at 8:33pm

I got a Kindle before we went to Europe for 2 months. It was good for that. Only on trips where I'd otherwise carry a weight load of books. I do not like it! It's cold and hard to hold. I like a real book for sure.  I can, however, download books from my library and that's great while I travel. Also, that comment on Luddites not withstanding, I'm using my old manual typewriter to do labels and envelopes. So I'm a mix of old and new, I guess.

LONG LIVE VINYL. I hate Kindles (or however you spell it), internet art and will always need to touch something to see if it's real. With my hands. Not these computer boards. I admit I'm practically blind by reading into the night under poor lighting and these things are supposedly better for the eyes of old people but I hate the things.

The future is here! There will eventually be nothing but downloaded music, it's true. No more Cover art, dang! Also, my daughter says there will be no physical art galleries, only on-line. Let's no be Luddites.

Playin' an old vinyl today, thanks to an Erni suggestion...there are scratches and bumps, but it is 45 years old about. Will CDs last? Naw...already they are obsolete and music is directly downloaded to the iPod. Lots will be lost....art, color, worn-out surfaces :-)

My son still has a turn table and took lots of our vinyl. A new shop opened in the neighborhood that sells only vinyl. There will always be vinyl.

Bo'nsoir Mim & Katerina! One of the very sad things that happened, art-wise (I will not make a music-wise comment except to say that it was an absolute bleedin' disaster) when 12" LPS were replaced by CDs was that all the sleeve art-work was downsized. Look at old albums, and they are really beautiful in size, scale, lay-out, colours, composition, etc.. Look at CD covers -- and you will need a magnigfying glass --  and you think 'This is minituarised art but it just does not work on this scale.'

Long live vinyl!

Death to digitalised music!

'Tis another beauty CD, Mim! And congrats on No.900! Closing in to the final 1000!

You really would consider a vinyl?? Your CD art is fantastic!
