'When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace'
☮
Thought I'd start my blog off with one of my favorite quotes ever, of course, any self respecting psychedelic blues rock fan will know that this is a quote from the incredible Jimi Hendrix.
I recently brought a Gramophone that i have wanted since I was around 12 (I'm now 19, you could imagine how much saving up this took), and dug out an old record collection of my late grandfathers, among this collection were The wall by Pink Floyd and an All along the watchtower EP of Jimi Hendrix's. It got me thinking, not enough people truly appreciate where music came from, I mean it's great how technology has advanced throughout the years, but I much prefer to listen to my music on a record as apposed to through some tinny earphones and an mp3 player.
I love the rawness, the feeling it gives me when I know this is an unmastered original version of the song, not 'digitally enhanced' but the real thing. For me, it shows a lot more emotion and passion, and that's what music is all about to me, much more than just chords and lyrics but passion and expression.
Music is an art form
BRING BACK RECORDS!
