Well just general up keep of cardboard sleeves vinyl beckons too much up keep for me. I'd rather listen to my music whether it is crap or not rather than trashing it. I wouldn't want to peel vinyl from my microwave before I want to make some hot chocolate or pizza. After a nuclear war I'd rather make music about that experience because that would be one of the biggest fucking things that could happen in my life, I probably wouldn't be listening to my records. I know that if my record player and cds were lost in nuclear war, I could play my records. Here's how, listen up all IDMers I learned this from Mr. Wizard: Direction for your very own post-nuclear war record player: Materials: 1 sewing needle 1 #2 pencil 1 sheet of construction paper transparent tape Procedure: 1. Roll the paper into a cone but don't close off the pointed end. 2. Tape the paper cone so it doesn't unfurl. 3. Tape the needle at the pointy end so it kind of extends beyond the cone. 4. Grab your favorite AFX Joyrex vinyl and stab the pencil through the hole, but not all the way through that it screws up the hole. 5. Spin the pencil/record combo like a top. 6. Place the needle on the groove. 7. Gather friends to chill with you. This beats sticking your vinyl in the microwave and it doesn't run on electricity. Quoth Homer Simpson "Woo hoo!"

You're completely missing the point though ... the microwave rotates so you can get the analog thrill of watching the disc spin !!! markw@southwind.net

in responce to my own responce, hear's my analysis.. Studying the above circumstances, it is only logical that vinyl is a much better choice. __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ www.freq-div.home.ml.org
