My brother has a beach house at Lancelin and a few years ago he set up his turntable up there and took up all his vinyl. We started what is now a tradition whereby when we have a pissy night (happens occasionally at a beach house
) we take it in turns to put on one side of an album, you end up getting a real mix of music and each pick doesn't last that long so if someones choice is real bad you don't have to put up with it for too long. I have since taken all my vinyl up there as well and we are encouraging all the regular visitors to do ther same. CD's although listened to occasionally are basically frowned upon at "Nights of the Round Table" at Lano. My grandparents bought this house originally in the early 70's and as our crew (Brothers, Cousin etc) were all surfers we used to go up a lot in the 70's and 80's and here we are 30 odd years later listening to the same music at the same house. From the early bluesy stuff Muddy Waters, Creedence, Cream, Stones, the cruisey stuff Eagles, Jimmy Buffet, Richard Clapton, to the more "modern" stuff Pink Floyd, Chisel, ELO its all good......in small doses.....when you have had a few.
Now if I could just find one of those sheets of paper that was divided into tiny squares with happy faces printed on them, that Greenroom was talking about it would be just like the old days..........
That reminds me there is a couple of Cheech 'N' Chong albums too.
