I was in the same boat...tons of stuff on vinyl that I could no longer listen to...then my wife signed up on e-music.com...it is a subscription service, but they had all of the early Butthole Surfers on there...all the stuff that I could not find on CD...I went nuts and downloaded their first four albums. Got to listen to songs I hadn't been able to hear in years! "Mexican Caravan", "Human Cannon Ball", "Sweet Loaf", "I Saw an X-Ray of a Girl Passing Gas", "The Shaw Sleeps In Lee Harvey's Grave", "22 Going on 23"...man, I sure missed those songs. I got to see them in concert twice...great shows both times, except Gibby nearly set the curtains above the stage on fire.
Hats off to you for the nod to the Pixies...Surfer Rosa is still one of my favorite albums. I got to meet Frank Black years ago when my friend's band opened for him when he was doing a solo show.
Current listening today...The Jesus & Mary Chain "Automatic".
Semper Fi!

Next time you come over, bring an LP or two and I'll digitize them for you. This includes surface-noise ruduction, pop/click removal, and conversion to any format you like (.wav, .mp3, etc.)
I've been doing this recently for a lot of my old LPs. This weekend I found in my collection an out of print Blues at Newport Folk Festival (1963) LP that's very nice. Can't get some of this stuff anymore.
I've also been burning some of the stuff that I don't feel like repurchasing on CD (why shlould I?), like The Who's Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, Duke Ellington's Blanton/Webster Years (4 LPs), Minor Threat, The Angry Samoans, and lots of Mosaic jazz multi-LP sets.
Anybody who's interested in knowing more about how to do this, just ask.
My next goal is to add 78 rpm capability. I just need a 78 rpm player. :-b
Oh, P.S., Scott: I've got a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone on tap that is DEAD NUTS! Now you want to come down eh?!
I can do either. I have an iPOD, thus I have iTunes. I never paid for the music download portion.King Scott said:Are you able to burn them onto CD's? If not, do you have i-tunes? I could borrow my wife's i-pod and use that to get the digital versions back to my house, to copy onto my computer and CD's at a later time.
Piece of cake. That "1945" single might be worth some dough, you know. I saw one at Vinyl Solution in Huntington Beach for $50, and that was a few years ago. It has "Under My Thumb" on the flip, right? Check out prices at www.gemm.com. ... Yeah, I just looked it up, "1945" starts at $44. "Head Kicked In" is selling for $34.50.King Scott said:I might have some stuff that you would like to copy for yourself as well...I found my original Social Distortion single of "1945" when I was moving, and the "Someone Got Their Head Kicked In" compilation. Some odd and obscure stuff as well...ever hear of Adrenaline O.D. from Florida? Got a bunch of early Toy Dolls also.
Yep...that's the one.Matt Romey said:That "1945" single might be worth some dough, you know. I saw one at Vinyl Solution in Huntington Beach for $50, and that was a few years ago. It has "Under My Thumb" on the flip, right?
lol, I've only ever heard it sung as "Chunderstruck" :laugh:trauth116 said:Think it will be some Akka Dakka for the drive over for Tuesday night's hockey game... Thunderstruck seems to strike a chord with me....
