This has nothing to do with freelancing, but I thought I'd mention it anyways: records are awesome. I bought a turntable recently, along with a few vinyl albums (My Bloody Valentine, Watergate, The Police, Blue Oyster Cult, The Who, Madness, etc.) and I've been having a blast with it. In the age of iPods and music on the go, hardly anyone takes the time to just sit and listen to music anymore. It's like music has become background noise for us, and it's kind of sad.
Don't get me wrong, I'm guilty of it too. As I sit here typing this, I'm listening to the "Lost in Translation" soundtrack on Winamp. I think the world would be a calmer place if people actually sat down and made listening to music an activity in and of itself.
As for the turntable, I was inspired by my cousin and the game Rock Band to buy one and do a bit of vinyl revival. I'm glad I did. You should too. Do your part to stimulate the economy and buy a turntable and some vinyl! Or if you did thirty years ago, dust it off and listen to it! You might be surprised at what you hear.
