Blurred Circles

Inspired by Ana Sophia's poem, "Sam's"

Waxing poetic

in spun vinyl whispers

Released on off beat labels

with unknown names

Rotating in blurred circles

of dance beat delusions

where old 45’s

go to play...

 

Care to take a spin?

Vinyl was such a rare treat when I was working at the record store.
There were only a few pieces released as limited edition items for those rare collectors.
I miss that sound though. An old boy friend used to collect vinyl and go searching garage sales etc.
It just has such a different feel to the sound. :)
I'm glad my poem inspired you. I think when it comes to loving music we are kindred spirits.

Thank you so much Ana for your nice comments and your inspiration. The record stores I frequented in my youth were probably not much different than your Sam's. Well maybe a little, but I'm sure the feeling was the same.

Yes It sure does seem we are. Music is a conduit to many things. Thanks again my poetically inspiring friend.

[Matching Socks]

Well, even though we called it a record store we pretty much only sold CD's. :)

[willweb]

It's still music.

[Matching Socks]

Exactly. :)

Will, I have fond memories, of digging through Sam's, on Yonge St, as a kid (well, teenager), looking for the latest imports, from Britain, of my favourite bands. Rushing house, to play them, on the family recorder player, after inserting that funny yellow thingee, in the 45 or listening to 12 inch mix releases, before CDs changed everything.

[willweb]

That's funny Therisa..."that funny yellow thingy" . I guess that is the best way to refer to them because I never knew what they were called either. :) Thanks so much for stopping by.

Your welcome, Will. And vinyl is making a comeback, these days.

[willweb]

As long as its not on couches and chairs, then I am fine with it making a comeback. :)

Gross, warm vinyl seating, in cars. Still, got the burn marks, as a kid.

I feel sorry for the kids now that only have the mp3 players on their phones and tablets - there was nothing better than the feel of the vinyl and the giant gate fold album covers with their Easter eggs - finding something new everytime we gazed at the covers - until they got all dog-eared and worn. The old Dansetta suitcase turntable and the pops and clicks of the record under the needle. Great memories Will - thanks for sharing this

[willweb]

Yes, I know what you mean Anto. I bought the 45 of The Beatles, "I want to hold to your hand" a few weeks ago. Did you know that song was never on an album? I didn't until a few days ago. Music was always art but how they came was what made it even better. I understand "Easter Eggs" too. Nice surprises. Thanks so much.

[ANTO]

Thank YOU, Mr Will... ;)

I never knew that Beatles trivia no mate but I hope it might win me a prize some night on our local radio station - the DJ is forever throwing out little teasers just like that.. (fingers crossed you're on his wavelength) - always a pleasure Will
