“I was definitely part of the compact disc generation, but in my early teens, I began receiving Beatles albums on vinyl as birthday presents and gifts from family and friends of my parents.”
“I had become a bit of a Beatles freak, and everyone knew that anything that had to do with the Fab Four was going to be a big hit with me. It was the mid-90s, and people had pretty much accepted that vinyl was a thing of the past, so I ended up the lucky recipient of some cherished musical hand me downs.
Now I had a lot of catching up to do, and it was amazing. After years of ipod playlists, skipping tracks on CDs, and only hearing things I thought I wanted to hear, I was forced to listen to a side of a record at a time. And then, when that was finished, I’d have to stand up, walk over to the player, and drop the needle on the other side. It’s a great and amazingly interactive experience. On top of that, there is the sound. No sample rates for your mind to fill in the gaps, just infinite sound waves – it is real music. The crackles and pops are an added bonus.”

That’s Casey from our First Date in November of 2011 waxing nostalgic for our favorite medium around these parts. We’re delighted to welcome Casey back to TVD with the premiere of his new video, “I Don’t Wanna Wait” which was self-created utilizing Powtoon, a D.I.Y. animation program. Look for new music from Casey soon, but for now, let’s not keep you waiting.
