Vinyl isn't dead yet...

Interesting dude who believes that music died in 1933.  15,000 records (mostly 78's) to prove it…

Oh, man, Sidehatch isn't going to be Hutch's best friend anymore once he sees this.

unfortunately the guy in that article is geographically unattractive, hatch doesn't do Frederick MD
so hutch keeps his status for now

The new LP by The Smile is between $40-45 …I just can’t do that…

How come Dischord can sell records for $13?


The greed by major labels shouldn’t be surprising but it’s shortsighted

Its only short-sighted if people won't pay that much. As long as there are fools with money, its the right price.

I can't remember what band said it, "not everyone can live like monks"

this story was already posted on this board, a mere 16 days ago.  i feel that going to a corner and thinking about what you've done isn't nearly sufficient as penance.  this board is going straight down the tubes.  i can't even.

You misunderstood: I'm saying Hutch is going to dump YOU for HIM, not you dump Hutch.

Hmm… maybe Jules was right
This happened in Frederick, although the dressing in drag was a plot twist I didn’t see coming

Given what B&N charge for vinyl that’s like 25 records

Great news!

SCANDAL IN THE VINYL WORLD!!!

How a Phoenix record store owner set the audiophile world on fire
MoFi Records claimed its expensive reissues were purely analog reproductions. It had been deceiving its customer base for years.


this whole fiasco is a huge indictment of vinyl-fetishists and analog-only-junkies.  MoFi had been hailed as "proof" that pure analog was better.  purists bought and listened to MoFo reissues on hugely expensive stereo systems… and no one noticed it wasn't pure analog.  in other words, they couldn't tell the difference.  the emperor is naked, and he's showing his ass to his followers.

Lemme just say…

Makes me want to buy a used Elcaste deck and the record The Rusty Nutz have released on that format to became a Uber audiophile
