Why aren't hipsters allowed to like compact discs?

Wow people are still serious about vinyl. You learn something new every day.
I buy most of my music in CD form, for no other reason than the fact that artists get more royalties from cds than they do from iTMS and the like. After I buy a CD the very first thing I do is rip 192kbps mp3s of that CD and add them to my iTunes library (and at some point, my iPod). After that I stick the CD on the rack and it never gets used again.

Cd's are great, I can have 100 in a space I could have 10 vinyl's, they stack easily. I am actually enjoying longer CD's, the notion that 80 minutes is 'too long' is really silly. Some bands might not need it, for sure, but wouldn't you rather more for your money? Sometimes it actually allows a more complex, more nitense, and more lengthy album progression. This is of course only utilised sometimes.

On the other hand it encourages people to go on for as long as the medium will allow, which can mean poor editing and bloated, unwieldy albums. It's like cooking, whenever I make a meal I tend to cook as much as the pans will hold. I don't mean to, I just end up filling the medium. Vinyl also has the separation of sides. I find 'Life Yr Skinny Fists...' doesn't work nearly as well on CD since the separation between each track found on the vinyl version massively enhances the piece.
As for tapes, they're still great. My band just did a split tour tape. Two bands, 14 songs, £1 (that's not even losing money and includes the cost of printing the art and buying stamps to put the bandnames on). Tapes are awesome.

This sentence is the mind-killer.

What did I say that was so siggy worthy?
Were I live (ohio) there are no hipsters. People see a Rilo Kiley c.d and say "Is that a british band?"
