   I miss records because they were made as whole pieces in two parts. Singles are great, too, and the formats of today have all kinds of advantages, but there’s a nerd-out aspect to crafting a complete LP that I’d like to see make a comeback some day.

   Also, “new release” just sounds like a euphemism for orgasm.

   Dude Whisperer, I couldn’t agree with you more – while CDs and DVDs have all sorts of extras and behind the scenes kind of stuff, the old LP was more about the entire listening experience – starting is side 1 song 1 and moving along. Plus, the pop and hiss was kind of cozy – a perfect set up for nocturnal emissions. 😉
