Vinyl - (the TV series not the hipster affectation)

TimmyO

This isn't exactly new but I watched it recently. Thought it was fun.

And I learned where the name for CBGB & OMFUG came from... 

Bridgehouse

They cancelled it - which was frankly quite annoying as it was pretty good.

As someone who enjoys listening to vinyl very much, but is serially unable to grow a beard and prefers Diet Coke to overpriced coffee, I take that slur in the thread title very seriously indeed.

Do you know how hipster it is to say you were listening to vinyl before everyone else ? ;

I have some 78s of a Bavarian horn orchestra performing covers of Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal' if you're interested.

You lot are rank amateurs.

OK but the cocaine and lunacy tutorial that is the TV series - anyone else like it?

I thought it was great.      Very disappointed to find they didn't get a second series.

Loved it.Had no idea it had been cancelled. Was looking forward to another series.

@TimmyO - My first vinyl record was TRex  - "20th Century Boy" I think I must of been about 5 years old, does that make me a Proto-Hipster? : >

BTW - I thought the series was shit though.

I've not watched it bit the soundtrack albums on Spotify are excellent. In particular Julian Casablancas' Lou Reed impersonations on Venus in Furs and White Light

I watched the first few - I thought the guy who played Peter Grant was a bit shite. Enjoyed it but couldn't get hold of the later episodes... maybe I should get it on DVD.
