Changes
Vinyl has such a lovely sound. I’m enjoying my purchase of David Bowie – ChangesOneBowie at the moment 
.It’s a compilation so I’m pretty sure that destroys my cred as a Bowie fan (or at least a Doors Fan). But I’ve never really been about cred. To be honest the quality of the LP I bought is comparable with some mp3’s I have. In addition to that the LP has extended tracks I’ve never heard. The version of Young American’s on the Changes album is longer by almost 2 minutes than the American version.
Unfortunately, listening to records means siting stationary for extended periods of time. This means no dancing around or puttering about the room. Maybe I’m being too precautionary but I remember having to stay very still when I was young when music was playing. Even when compact discs came out I had to be careful. When The Beatles Free as a Bird came out I can recall being scolded for spinning around the living room to violently. . .
/// edit:
I’m informed no one ever played records in presence except when I was in ballet class. I guess it was the compact discs my parents were terrified I would skip.

Electronic
Yesterday, I was listening to M.I.A.’s station on last.fm. After a few songs from artists that were okay a song came on by the artist Uffie. I’d never heard of her but it sounded good. The beats were what caught my attention. I was rather surprised I liked it but after a few more songs I was convinced that I must buy this girl’s album. Unfortunately, it appears she doesn’t have an album. Well, that isn’t entirely true. It just appears that her single has been discontinued by the producer. If I like I can buy 3 mp3’s for .99 cents a piece. I think I’ll just wait until she either puts an album out or they re-release her single.
I’d recommend listening to some of her music on myspace or on youtube.
