Cat Lady Kydia Music 🇺🇦I saw a young person talking about how they just bought 6 vinyls from their favorite artists but that they didn’t have a “vinyl reader” to play them on yet, and I think I felt my face slide off.

Steve GisselbrechtAt a party at our house once, a friend's daughter remarked to him how cool it was that our stereo had a thing on top that made it look like it was playing a vinyl record, and he blew her mind by explaining to her that in fact it was playing a vinyl record and that's where the music they were hearing was coming from.
Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)@stevegis_ssg @KydiaMusic We used to have big Christmas street parties years ago because we had a large young kid population.
One of the things we did was get out the movie projector and played some Super8 film reels.
Old Disney, Warner Brothers and similar vintage cartoons.
As we were setting up one boy exclaimed: "We're going to see a DVD!"
Wouldn't be told that this technology predated DVD, VHS and BetaMax.
So "DVD" just meant movie to him.
A collection of songs is called an "album" because, in the 78 rpm days, you could fit one song on each side of a disk, and a group of songs to be considered as a common work would be sold in an "album" of disks, much like a photo album. It amuses (and, okay, annoys) me that this is the usage that survived the transition to digital files, while "record" (literally just the result of recording) is understood to mean "vinyl disk."
