I much prefer records to CD's. It gives my ears an orgasm and lifts my heart to flutter like monarch butterfly wings. Goosebumps rise up from my skin when the needle is first placed on a record. The crisp churning and apprehension of almost live music excites me. I believe records (even studio albums) sound almost as live as live music sounds. Certainly rawer than mp3's or CD's; I much prefer records. Tell me one of the oldest ways to listen to music is not to this day, still the greatest.
