What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Totally, and thanks for reminding me of TWO movies to share with my nieces, and eventually my future nephews (hint-hint, little bro and little bro's GF) and my children. As a little kid, yours truly loved Annie. And The Wizard of Oz, though it's not necessarily my fave Oz film anymore.

I have LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE on wax and I listen to it at least three times a year, usually when kids are over, when it is near Christmas time, and when playing cards with gal-pals. I don't love most musicals, but ANNIE is near perfect.

I know what wax cylinders are, I just so rarely see people just say "wax" to refer to them. Usually it seems they're talking about vinyl.

So unless Luke actually has a bunch of cylinders he regularly throws on (I can't say I'd be completely surprised, honestly) I'm going to assume he means vinyl.

I never cared much for Annie, but I am intrigued by the remake with a mostly black cast that's being worked on. Jay Z is writing the songs, so you know the music will be interesting, at least.

Ticked: Aquafresh "Extreme Clean" tastes like Vapor Rube. Yuckers.

To Clarify:

"And on the cool check in,
Center stage on the mic.
And we're puttin' it on wax,
It's the neeeeewwwwww style"

You got more juice than Picasso got paint.

If it's on vinyl, just say vinyl. Not everyone here rocks out to analog. I would love to, since a lot of old stuff (the Radioactive Dreams soundtrack, Sue Saad and the Next's debut/only album) is stuck on analog.

It's not that hard. If you can find a working record player (or just invest in a new one like I did), you can find tons of good stuff at any thrift store for practically nothing.
