| When I was in uni I used to put some money away each week to buy DVDs and CDs. Now I've ended with a pile of CDs which are in MP3 format on my PC and iPod anyway. Pretty much a waste of space. When I have my own flat I plan on getting a nice set up anyway, so I will dig out the CDs then because admi... |

Managed to wire up my turntable this morning. Forgotten how good it sounds!
Was listening to Bob Dylan and it really sounds alive on vinyl. I have just ordered Neil Young's Harvest.
A question. If I want to give a disc a quick wipe before listening, whats the best way to do it? |

| Not sure why this whole J Rock is considered a special style. Apart from visual kei, several J Rock bands I heard sound very much like any other rock, so if you would not tell the bands were Japanese you would not know. Visual kei is different and more distinctive Japanese, however J Rock ... I hav... |

The Megadrive as that is what I grew up with. Holds many fond memories.
Have to say the DS is getting there though. Awesome piece of kit. |

Download it from elsewhere?
If it is DRM then its probably a pretty well know artist right? |

Whats the actual definition of eccentric? I've always thought of myself as eccentric but no one has ever called me that.
Maybe they just dont say it to the face. |

| Thanks for the info! That was most useful. No idea how it got that flaw. I remember listening to it one day and then heard it and thought WTF? Then my dad just said, oh its always been like that. He wasn't a big music fan, so i guess he never looked after stuff like this. Even if he only had 1 or 2 ... |

Looks very rich in colour. How do I get started with learning this stuff with Photoshop? (actually I use Gimp,... |

I agree with what you are saying, practice does make perfect and a lot of talented artists out there who dont know music theory.
But was just wondering, are you are fan of classical music? |
