Records

My old vinyl turntable has a cord attached to a rotating knob that spins the table at 33 rpm or 45 rpm. Lately the cord's been slipping from one speed to the other.

Thus, putting on a record I can't be sure whether I'm gonna hear "The Way We Were" sung by Barbra Streisand or Alvin the Chipmunk. It's kind of a metaphor for my life right now...

    1. Not really. I'll probably just replace the whole turntable. They're not expensive if you shop right. (U-Turn Audio is superb.)

  4. Sorry, pressed send too soon!! I'm laughing at getting Alvin as an alternative. We recently House and cat sat for a blog friend and she had a amazing vinyl collection and turntable. We loved it!
