Vinyl on HBO

HBO has a new series that focuses on the music industries of the 1970's; Vinyl. The show is graphic, loaded with great actors, visually stunning, nuanced with flashbacks and side clips that tease undercurrents and tensions between characters, interlaced with accurate historical facts from the era, and for someone with my ecclectic musical taste the soundtrack is unparalleled.

The first episode I was actually able to catch was episode two, and only a few minutes of it at that.  Those few minutes hooked me into the vivid tapestry of the show.  

I have since watched the pilot on in demand; a warning for all...do not try and watch Vinyl and try to multitask.  You risk missing integral, yet fleeting, pieces of the story.

If you enjoy music, history, and do not mind the graphic nature check out Vinyl.
