Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
I bought a CD player and some CDs and it’s got me right back into treating music as an activity rather than background noise. No streaming service is ever going to get my money again!
One of the things you get from a CD that you don’t get from a generated spotify playlist, is that albums (at least back in the day, or perhaps at least good ones) order their songs in a specific order so that playing from the start through to the end is an experience.
I tried to find my old CD collection a few years back and couldn’t. I had a whole folder full of CDs, but the only thing I could find was the empty cases 🙁
Preaching to the choir… I’ve always been an album listener. Playlists (and the associated loudness war) are a crime!
And I can relate… I’ve only managed to find 2 of my 50 or so CD collection. I know most of them are long gone but I could’ve sworn I’d kept more than 2!
