I listen must WAY more music now that I ever did back in the day and that is all that matters as far as I'm concerned.
Cut back to 92 where here I am taking a cassette out and putting it in the stereo. Fast forwarding, then rewinding trying to find a song I like. Having to flip the thing over and then worst of all, having to just sit there. Because of that whole process, I might listen to a song here or there from time to time. And on top of that, starting out with cassettes, there was no beautiful album art and liner notes to fawn and gush over. It was all printed and typed out on that tiny ass paper and it was a pain the ass getting it folded back up and in the casette case, so most the time I never even looked at it.
now cut to today, where my iphone is playing music all day long. Whether its during the commute, getting stuff done at work, cleaning up around the house, making dinner, you name it.
So the former vinyl age he's talking about, I never experienced it. If it was that sweet, then more power to him. But for me I love the new technology. It has made listening to music a million times easier.
