Vinyl Records
Thrillho:
Recently got my first turntable - I fucking love vinyl records. I'm honestly happier having some stuff only on vinyl because then it becomes a real event for me to listen to it - that or getting separate MP3s of it.
Saying that I grew up on the CD era, so I have shitloads of CDs. I generally only go digital if that's the only way I can get my hands on it - and my music collection is all legit.

I can't say this unless secondhand piracy counts. I got a lot of stuff from someone who torrented it. Now I'm buying the best of it on vinyl. So now it's been (secondhand) buyrated.
I like music a lot, I've not always had money for it, so I looked to my friends.
I like having physical copies of my music, but it's really about the process for me. Like I've got all this stuff to do if I want to listen to this album, well gosh darn it, IMMA FUCKING ENJOY IT

I am definitely a fan of the vinyl. There are a lot of Classical records that haven't yet made the jump to CD but I have been able to find on vinyl. I'm happy to see they're making a comeback for new stuff! Also, there are a lot of thrift stores in my neighborhood that have some good stuff.
A question: My turntable was my Dad's that I saved out of a closet a few years ago. The stylus / needle has accumulated a lot of dust from tracking in the records. What are your thoughts on lightly spraying the needle with some canned compressed air (lightly) to clean it up?
Aziraphale:
Not sure if that'd damage the needle or the cartridge (the canned air usually has some force behind it). A rocket blower might work better.

I like vinyl 'cause I'm half fucking blind, so the larger album art and liner notes are nice. The occasional coloured vinyl and super-cheap used records are also nice.
I'm hoping to be able to get to RSD this year, but it might be a bit tricky.
