Guest Backson Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I find that I don't listen to full albums enough, and with my iPod my attention span is small and I end up shuffling alot. So I was thinking of getting rid of my iPod and buying a little portable CD player. That way I could take it with me on a bus or when I'm going places, and I would be more focused on whatever CD i bring. I have most of my favourite albums on CD, so I could just pick one for each journey. I mentioned this to one of my friends, and he said that would make me a hipster. and the scary thing is, he could be right. What does WATTURM think?

MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 this is what i've done for the last 3 years since my minidisc player broke... only downside is that you've got to wear a bag i guess but i've got a bag with stuff in it anyway. you mean a purse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Calx Sherbet Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 i have an ipod also, but i always try to go full albums. they may be mp3's but i treat them like the physical copy. i don't even like interrupting it, i try to make time! and not a fan of shuffling.

Guest Backson Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 just do what you like and don't think about stupid things like that sure, that's one side of it. but I've politely explained my reasoning to you. If I were some long haired young dude on a bus and you overheard me say to my friend "so i decided to get rid of my iPod and get a discman" would you try to get a picture of me with your phone and post it on Lookatthisfuckinghipster? i get paranoid about these things. i have a moustache. I'm an easy target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Do whatever you want to and fuck everyone else's opinion. Does it really matter to you if some fuck you don't know looks at you weird on the bus? Alternatively, keep your iPod (don't contribute to digital waste), and just put one album on it a day.

If it becomes full, I'll have to pick and choose which albums I want, and I feel I might as well just have a CD player and choose what album each time I go out. If you get what I mean? but yeah, I like CDs more anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 As someone in the know, I would have to say this is pretty hipster. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ansgaria Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 If you end up doing it AND buy those damn hipster glasses, then you are in fact hipster-looking. So no, don't do it, it's not worth the risk. In all seriousness, why give a damn shit? If you want to do it, do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakapo Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I now only listen to second hand vinyl. Even for new releases, I have to wait until they turn up in one of the rip off shops on Berwick street, rather than heading down the road to Sister Ray where I could buy it brand new, shrinkwrapped and cheaper. And anyway, a scornful look at my selection from a member of their staff is usually enough for me to dump the records in the bin outside before even listening to them, so that placeis best avoided. Once I get home they go in my current listening section, in order of purchase. I spend over £400 a month on vinyl, and only get a chance to listen to a record once or twice a month, so the current listening pile has over 2 and a half thousand records in it. I can't wait to listen to the Campfire Headphase next month, I'm so excited, I remember hearing rumours that it was a bit shit and had guitars on it (lol wtf) but my friend assures me it's just like MHTRTC. Nothing like waiting 5 years to build anticipation. Once I decide to 'listen', I put the plastic sheeting on the bed. Nothing at this point is allowed to disturb me. Once the record is playing I must listen to it all the way through. I allow myself a maximum of 7 seconds to switch sides. Unfortunately I have shat myself on more than a couple of occasions, hence the plastic sheeting. Is this too hipster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to really miss the opportunity of paying a premium for a record because they hang it by a wire rather than sticking it in a rack.
