Why aren't hipsters allowed to like compact discs?

I don't think I've ever seen a second hand vinyl pressed after 1990.

I'm with you. I can't really complain though. I don't have a turntable. I'm sure this is some sort of music appreciator crime, but at present it's not worth it for me to invest in one.
I do completely adore looking through old records. Not having the means to play them just means I get the fun of looking, without the pressure to choose which ones I want to buy. I get to inhale all that wonderful dust. What is it about the dust that collects on records? It has a special scent to it that no other dusty old objects have. It's like you can smell the music.
It could be in my head.

Maybe it's an Australian thing? Op shops here only seem to have stuff like childrens' nursery rhymes and badly recorded opera. All the people with good taste in music seem to have cottoned onto the fact that they can sell their secondhand vinyl through boutique record stores for close to the original price.
Perhaps I should give ebay a shot...

But, yeah, there is definitely no better way to spend an afternoon than inhaling 5 pounds of dust pilfering through horrible, horrible (and sometimes completely repetitive) copies of records to find that one Loretta Lynn for 25 cents. Awesome.

My copy of Talking Heads 77 is from a second-hand store.
McTaggart:
Op shops here (Perth) don't have shit in general. We've got at least three places that are good for second hand vinyl, depending on what you're looking for. All of them are music stores.
