    Hi y'all, I was in a record store today and saw Christy Moore buy the new Patti Smith album. Is this a record ? Don't forget, Satan is real

    No, it's a mildly amusing anecdote, a record is the item Christy was purchasing. Somebody slap me, I'm being pedantic!

    What would really top this off now would be if someone saw Patti Smith buying the Christy Moore box set.

    Actually, to be pedantic, Christy was buying a Compact Disc. A record is something from the Stone Age made from vinyl with a hole it it...and sometimes not...depending on how flush with cash your record company was. Don't forget, Satan is real

    haha Jules, I knew some one would pull me up on the definiton of a record, and yeah in the common vernacular you are absolutely right. Most peoples definition of record is a vinyl disc Thing is I still call compact discs records, I reckon its correct, because its still an audio recording, the only difference is that its on a digital optical medium, with a smaller frequency range and encoded using an inneficient algorithm instead of using small variations cut into a vinyl groove to record sound. I genuinely use the term "vinyl" when referring to vinyl records. I need a life, or a hobby or something...

    Which leads me on to the following... If Christy is buying Patti Smith, what is he downloading ? Thoughts on that anyone ? Hmm ? Don't forget, Satan is real (C'mon guys, don't tell me there are no Louvin Brothers fans out there)

    I should imagine Christy, like me, is a bit long in the tooth for all this new fangled technology. MP3s ? Pah. *wanders off grumbling about bloody kids and their computers, it were all fields around here in my day etc.*
