This was an interesting score: a Canadian first pressing of the Zager and Evans classic 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) . Finding albums like this for a buck always seems like a surreal score. The vinyl was in passable shape, with some expected wear but nothing too visible. It did, though, clean up remarkably well. Then, while I was putting it back into the sleeve, I dropped it on the floor. Putting the record on, there's something undeniably appealing about "In the Year 2525" that seemed to sum up all the trepidation people were feeling about the future and the headlong charge to oblivion through the wanton pursuit of technology. Or something. It's a lot to take in for my little brain. It's always been a weird and goofy song that managed to go to number one all over the world. Heck, even the official science fiction nerds who ran the Hugo Awards nominated it for some type of special award. It's not clear whether they won or not, but it's an interesting bit...
A place where I just blather on about shit I either miss, or am excited about, or just found and want to share. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally don't know what I'm talking about, but sometimes I do. This generally reads like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the images ... mostly it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
