Letter to my turn table
Dear Turnie McTurnstyle,
Were did we go wrong? I thought that a turn table digitizer was the coolest thing ever, and that owning one who be the highlight of my life (Don't judge me. I don't have a lot) When you first arrived, everything was great. You hooked right up to my computer and I recorded Peter and the Wolf, and for once all was right in the world. But now...now I don't even know you anymore. Whenever I try to record with you, all I can hear on the recording is that really annoying hiss that a radio makes when you're listing to a faint AM station at night. Try as I might, I cannot fix this problem. I've done everything that I can think short of a ceremonial sacrifice, which won't happen because I'm a total wuss around blood. The problem only occurs when you're turned on. If you were a person that might have sounded dirty, but you're not. The problem is you have to be on or else, you know, no sound.
Look, all I'm asking is for you to be cool. I don't care if you don't like the computer. It likes you. It recognizes you when I connect the USB cable. You don't have to be best friends or anything. Just know that you are going to be seeing a lot of each other. Do not make me regret having spent 150 bucks on you. My mom really wants me to record those Partridge Family albums for her, and frankly, I want to hear 'em too, because David Cassidy is a dream boat and you know it.
Cheers,
Me
