thebes Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 One thing you can always count on, when there is a buck to be made people will pile on. Take the vinyl revival. There's the usual actors: record companies, distributors, manufacturers, the media in all it's various forms, and then the mega corps. Yup the big guys, the people with no shame, no morals, no game but to play the game and with their faithful servants on Madison Avenue, no need to actually understand anything about it, nor derive any pleasure from it. So what's got you pissed off now Thebes? Well a picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Maybe they recycle old plastic bottles for records now, colored coke- brown.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubo Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Almost every movie has records and a turntable in the background probably a reflection of the popularity of records with the target audience, teens and 20s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The Netflix series 'Bosch', which I thought was outstanding, has him with a nice vinyl rig, playing jazz and talking with his daughter and getting her into vinyl. It was actually a nice part of the series Klipsch forum member Allan Songer provided some of the gear (but not all), for the set. But that's the business he's in (props). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Thanks for sharing that Marvel. Gonna have to watch it. I hope Allen is doing well. Somebody in Hollywood should do a new jazz movie and hire him to lay down the soundtrack, in mono, of course. A couple of days ago, a Jack Daniels tv commercial comes on. I've got the tube on mute so I'd don't catch the dialogue, but there is a pretty impressive looking tt on display. It's appearance was too brief to figure out what brand (not to mention cart, loading etc.)and it's far from the only commercial I've seen with a tt in it. Heck, a few years ago there was a Jason Stratham movie with a nice audiophile system in his house. He had to make a run for it, dropped a needle and the house exploded when the album got to the end. I'm guessing it was the B side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
