Ha! In regards to the vinyl/coffee comparison, I was trying to point out that the "ritual" is an important aspect of the enjoyment. There aren't too many things that we do at a certain time, every day without fail but making a pot/cup of coffee is often one of them. The ritual is important, the ceremony. Same thing with pulling vinyl out of it's sleeve.

You, of course, are right regarding low-quality MP3 and vinyl. As you mention, its less noticeable in person. I'm pretty sure that you've met bgood79 before at a Hubski gathering we had in Detroit. In fact, I know you did. Anyways, bgood has a kick ass, top notch sound system. While it's ideal to listen to vinyl at his house, putting on an MP3 through his system sounds pretty amazing too.

Oh, and congrats on two things too: 1. finding a song you liked on the radio. 2. nuptials.
