A little sadly, and for obvious reasons, tonight I have been working through the CD and Vinyl collection we have here.
Fuck......................
dug out some old school tunes that have brought the memories flooding back.
Currently listening to some early Roxy
ahhhhhhhhhhh classic pulling tunes
any favorites you have buried away that you have forgotten about ?

I've got boxes and boxes of vinyl, and nothing to play then on. I had a very nice amp, which blew up some years back.....I tried to get it fixed, but the parts were redundant. Then along came CD.....somehow couldn't be arsed to get much of a CD collection going.
I know you can get a device to turn vinyl into mp 3.....inot sure its worth the money though.

I've never been much of a collector and without anything to jog my memory, things I've forgotten about have a bad habit of staying forgotten. Which is a shame.

My problem is that a lot of my vinyl is in bad condition......somhow leading a reprobate lifestyle and keeping records in good condition was not compatible, also despite what may seem to be the case on here, I try to live in the present.

I know what you're saying Fred.....my life has a kind of personal musical soundtrack.
Thing is though there's a lot of it :old: I prefer to concentrate on the most recent stuff.

I don't think my brains really wired up that way. I don't tend associate music with much else than the music. Various stages in my life over the last 6-7 years are more likely to be associated with what I was drinking and which pubs I was in at the time.
Weirdly, the years I don't remember much seem to be the ones I can't associate with a local or two. There's something grounding about having a regular drinking haunt, the NHS should put it on one of their mental health treatment programs.
There is the occasional exception, for some reason that Queens of The Stone Age song, No One Knows or whatever it's called, reminds me of Pokemon. Which is a bit bizarre and I'm not really sure why.

Exactly New Order - World in motion Obscurely does not remind me of Italia '90 but of a blonde hairdresser I was seeing at the time Thats why I love music mate, produces all sorts of emotions / memories
