Jigsaw falling into place

Am I crazy because I love albums? Everyone is submitting to the iPod ethic and jumping tracks like channels. Even my parents, whose musical tastes are pretty contemporary for pushing 60 don't have the patience anymore for me to introduce them to something they might like via long player format.

I'm all for singles, and I can certainly appreciate that (unlike a piece of film) music can be enjoyed as singular compartmentalized vignettes. One of my favourite things to do is listen to vinyl, and not cuz it's trendy but because it takes me back to a time when people appreciated the journey as much as the payoff.
