Do you ever listen to phonograph records?
No, I didn't realize those were still a thing. I love listening to music on my computer though.
In recent decades records have sometimes been called vinyl records, or vinyls.
Do you own any records? I love to flip through them when I go to a music store.
I agree. I love the feel of them. They were originally made from shellac!
Shellac? What is that? They make me feel nostalgic.
It's a polymer that coats things. Starting in the 50's the started to use polyvinyl chloride.
Wow, that's really interesting. I wonder if that's why the newer records seem to have better sound quality
