I’ve got a bit of a query, chaps. Do I repurchase the UK reissue of Kinks on beautiful, ruby red vinyl, or upgrade my turntable? She skips like a ruthless gang of 2nd graders in afternoon recess. I recently replaced the needle, so that ain’t it. No earthquakes as of late, though we’re still eagerly anticipating “the big one.” Hmmm. Time to save up for some 1200s? Then there’s the issue of space! WHERE THE HELL AM I GOING TO PUT THEM? I’ve already got a mountain of records squatting on the floor. (The International Voice of Reason voice: “SIGH!” Sounds more like “UHHHHHHH!”) Well anyway, if you own this release and it skips, hit me up, otherwise, it’s time for some new hardware.
The Prudent Groove 
“WHERE DID THIS DOG COME FROM?!!!” My vote: new turntable.
More like “Red Dead Groove,” amirite? HBD, pal!
The Prudent Grove, aged 11, passed away peacefully on 19 May 2022, at https://prudentgroove.com/2022/05/19/red-dead-equipment/. It was born on 27 January 2023, out of Desperation, in Los Angeles, CA. It was a proud resident of Santa Monica, CA in its later years, and was a 1998 graduate of The Party Town Academy For Gifted Youngsters, located in beautiful Partytown, USA. The Prudent Groove is survived by theJASONHARDWICKshow, FILLintheBLANK, and many other half-baked and abandoned creative endeavors. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations (in the form of purchases) be made, in The Prudent Groove’s name, at your nearest brick-and-mortar record store.
Shhh.
