In the beginning of this song there is a sound that will be lost to time, and that is the sound of the pop of a needle dragging over vinyl that has little scratches and dings on its surface. I'm guessing if a person was born in 1990, this is a sound that he/she might appreciate, or should I say might not appreaciate. It all depends on the way you look at things. To me its more of a nostalgia, then anything else.
Well if you were born in 1990 here are some other little subtle things that you might not learn to appreciate. The weight of your record collection as you move your sixty to one hundred pound cardboard box from one corner of the room to another. Another thing you might not experience is the little wait time it takes to "rewind" a cassette tape. Usually 2 to 5 minutes. The awful experience of dragging a needle over a perfectly new record. The careful skill it takes to lift a needle off a record, to keep it in perfect condition. The youth will never know the little act of changing a worn out needle on a record player. At this moment these happen to be a few things that come to the surface of my memory. I'll give it some thought, and post some more experiences forever lost in time.

New Order - Blue Monday
Reminds me of highschool, Central California. 1980 something. Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's day off. A time when Gun's and Roses became god-like. The DJ played Gun's and Rose's, "Sweet Child O' Mine". Everybody who was sitting down in the Gym was now on the dance floor. My thought at that very moment was "How do you dance to this?".

Gulf Of Aden Stargate
Alot of this stuff is mindblowing to think about. I've seen alot of this on the History Channel. I believe in this for the simple fact that there's just too much out there. There's too much we don't know. There's too much stuff out there. I'm thinking mankind, we're like rats in the Universal Lab. I get this feeling that there is a "Space Federation" out there, and there out there somewhere looking down on earth. To them its no big deal, we're just one little planet. This planet makes for a great little laboratory, for all types of experiments. This is the thought I get when I contemplate on the matter.
