Vinyl ahoy

It's been a busy week, and despite having bought Gremlins on DVD on Monday, I've still only made it about 20 minutes into watching it as of today. I've spent most of my evenings with friends instead of blogging about muffins, Play-Doh, and dinosaur sandwiches like I should be. I've been craving distraction lately for reasons I won't delve into. But somehow between karaoke, buying my guy friend sympathy pizza, and having deep discussions about brazillian waxing and Luke Skywalker at Starbucks, I still managed to find time to rig a new toy up to my computer.




I finally broke down and bought a USB turntable. Had the damnedest time getting it hooked up, because it kept asking for drivers that weren't available. Eventually I managed to ghetto-rig it by plugging the sound cables into my capture card. I'm just all kinds of problem-solving like that. I took a listen to the Hugga Bunch LP for the first time and holy shit, is it the worst crap I've ever heard. I could use that record to torture people in the worst way, because after you thought it was over with side 1, side 2 will have you trying to scratch your own eardrums out. It's bad. Bad bad.

But if anyone has suggestions of cool old records I should convert to mp3s (preferably odd 80s kids stuff), hit me up!
