Less popular, that I don't deny. Hardly obsolete.

We have all our music on CDs. OK, I've also got mp3s on the computer in the games room/office at the bottom of the garden.....and a bunch of stuff on shelac 78s for the gramophone....but in the house it's on CDs. When we want to play music, we browse the shelves, often finding something else we had forgotten about, find the album and put it on to listen to.

Fiends of our have gone all "high-tech" with a wireless house and no real music, everything accessed through the demon that is "Alexa".
A typical exchange goes:
"Do you want to play some music, we can access just about anything?"
"Can you play They raided the Joint by Hot Lips Page*?"
"Oh course. Alexa, play They raided the Joint by Hot Lips Page."
Music starts.
"Stop. No, Alexa, play They raided the Joint by Hot Lips Page."
Music starts.
"Stop. No, Alexa, play They raided the Joint by Hot Lips Page."
Music starts.
"Stop"
Repeat ad infinitum until we give up an play something off their regular playlist.

*Substituent just about any other sodding song by any other sodding musician who isn't on the family play lists!

I used to have a vinyl single of the New Vaudeville Band's "Finchley Central" - easily the second best song ever about a North London suburb.  The best?  The paean by the late great Willie Rushton to Neasden:

"The traffic lights, the yellow lines, the illuminated signs, all say welcome to the borough that everybody's pleased in...."

A worthy counterpart to Sellers' "Balham, Gateway to the South". My copy came as a flexi-disk taped to the cover of Private Eye (anyone else remember these?) Nowadays YouTube is your friend...
