My grandfather recently gave me his turntable. It's a Sansui FR-D35. Automatic direct drive. And a Sansui cart with a SC-50 elliptical stylus! Works perfectly, just needed a deep clean. And after testing it, I think it sounds _better_ than my Audio-Technica AT-LP120X turntable! So I'm going to try using it for a while.

I've been meaning to write down my thoughts about returning to collecting physical media ever since I started doing so over a year and a half ago. I thought it might resonate with some of you. https://blog.newfangled.live/why-i-have-returned-to-collecting-physical-media

Album: Cuts Like A Knife
Artist: Bryan Adams
Released: 1983
When I think about other albums released in 1983, I think this one sounds a few years ahead of its time. It's excellent guitar-driven pop rock that occasionally flirts with a hair metal vibe without getting too "screamy". I mean, it's Bryan Adams, so it's gonna be pretty darn good. If you want to rock out 80s style without drowning in hair spray, makeup, and leather, this is one to spin.
Album: Flying the Flag
Artist: Climax Blues Band
Released: 1980
I've been on a big Yacht Rock kick and there are some excellent examples on this album. I'm talking about rock with a healthy infusion of jazz, funk, and/or soul to create a smooth, appealing sound. It has some good straight up rock tracks, too. A great record from start to finish and fantastic album art to go with it.
It was a difficult decision, but I feel like I need to take a break from Twitch for the next 7 weeks - both as a streamer and as a viewer - in observance of Lent. I wrote a blog post with more details if you're interested.

I do plan to return to Twitch after Easter. Tonight (Tuesday 3/4) will by my last stream before the break, starting around 7pm ET (4pm PT). Feel free to stop in and say hello if you like (Twitch link in bio).
Album: Greatest Hits
Artist: Queen
Released: 1981
Finishing up my work day with this gem. I was tempted to sing along with Bohemian Rhapsody, of course. If I was the only one home I would have done.
