It was in part the presence of Jeck that made me buy a new turntable, but frankly I think I'm making a reversion to recordings of dusty ether and grizzled analog. It's a Sound Research DJ1600m, about 5 years old, a good needle and belt drive. I found it in a pawn store down the road for $170, and the nice folks threw in a couple of vinyls of my choice - Bowie's Let's Dance and Emmy Lou Harris' Luxury Liner. Score!
This week is vinyl only, I don't know how I lived without it for the past three years.

Go vinyl!
What are you listening to on it at the moment?
Eno/Byrne's "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts" - original pressing with the "Quran" track which was subsequently deleted from editions that followed.
Bowie "Let's Dance" - well, duh.
Emmy Lou Harris "Luxury Liner" - because country music on vinyl cannot be beat.
Leonard Cohen "Greatest Hits" - for the cover alone.
Elvis Costello "All This Useless Beauty" - the vinyl version sounds so much better than the CD, I think the occasional crackle might be the reason.
