Takin' it waaaay back:

Found these pics of Edison (otherwise known as Kool DJ Eddy Tee) getting his groove on:

The oldest phonograph actually used a rotating cylinder instead of a platter. Imagine DJing with those. Might make for a more complex beat juggling session: maybe you line up like five 'records' on a spinning dowel and DJ like five of them at the same time. Your 'crates' would look more like canned goods cabinets, too.

Anyway, enough of my randomness. Just thought we could take a moment to pay tribute to the grandfather of the LP.

Just watched the Gensu Dean/Large Pro video on the "Fresh for 2012... You suckas" thread, and remembered this article I read the other day, kind of pertinant, thought I'd share...

Weird really, that although I've always listened to underground music, I never thought the actual PRODUCT would end up that way. Sad days now when everything has to be homogenized and mass produced/marketed. The internet is a fantastic tool, but it also has A LOT to answer for.
OR maybe I'm just a sad old fart living in the past.

I suppose I should really back up my statement.

If it wasn't for vinyl...they'd be no PUTS...end of.

One thing about newer vinyl is that people that dont really know what they are doing are cutting transcoded mp3's onto vinyl so theres a bunch of dead space on the tracks still

But overall vinyl sounds leagues better
