Picked this one up on Saturday, and this is its first play.

Man, I really need to tidy up.

I should get a magic ring. They look like fun.

    Nice Pioneer you got there, and the arm is a beauty, too.

    I think the turntable belonged to my wife's ex-husband's parents originally. Not sure how she ended up with it, but I suspect my stepdaughter may claim it one day. Considering how it had been kept, it's in remarkably good shape. The belt was shot, and I put a new cartridge in it, but otherwise it's been great.

    I got the amp and speakers new in 2004, I believe. Never given me any trouble either, I'm happy to say.

    That's a nice looking setup, and a great album. A nice change from their earlier albums while still sounding like The Black Keys.

    I wasn't sure about it after the first couple of tracks — I've only really listened to Thickfreakness and Rubber Factory before, so those kind of define the band in my mind, IYSWIM.

    It definitely grew on me tho.

    I see what you mean. I was introduced to them a little later, for me it was Brothers and El Camino, and this album is still quite different from those. But it grew on me, too. In fact, a some of their newer albums -- this one, Let's Rock, and Dropout Boogie -- have been at the top of my rotation lately, moreso than the older albums. Maybe because I've heard the other songs so much already.
