Dis. Epic track.

Great song. Very poignant choice in the elephants by Coldplay. There's so much injustice done with elephants these days, with humans not appreciating what they understand and feel. They all know it's enslavement. The elephants, that is. Some are OK with it, as they don't mind the benefits, but some are not OK with it and struggle to behave. When given the chance to break out, they'll take it. But that usually ends in them being shot dead.


Here's what I was listening to last night, when I unearthed my old record collection and started spinning selections on my turntable after a long hiatus:

Despite the errant pops and clicks, vinyl does sound sweeter than CD. There's something about it that feels "deeper" and "more textured". Digital can sound great, but in direct comparison I always feel like something is lost.

Let's see, your music collection of 25,000 with an average of $8.00 per album would ring up a total of around $200,000 dollars according to my math. Yes, I would have to say that you indeed have a serious music addiction. But there are worse addictions and I don't see any real reason to consult a psychiatrist. After all, music can be quite therapuetic in and of itself. heheheh.

Ummm, lately I have been into Lounge, NuJazz and Downtempo. I'm kinda in chill mode. Although in the past I have been into just about every genre of music. Being a musician of 22 years (guitar), like you, I have a passion for music. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not listening to something. Carry on bro. :cool:

Pure 80's sounding glam/hair bands. I don't care what anyone says, I'll always listen to it exclusively, outdated or not, it was fun back then.[YOUTUBE]Nl7CRx1JDqU[/YOUTUBE]
