LPs were almost completely dead in the 90s. AFAIK everything new was almost 100% released on CD only. I'd guess 60s-80s as his main interest in music. It's probably easier to find new music on LP now than in the mid-late 90s.

Hmmmm.....I wonder what he listens to. Maybe early prog-rock?

Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

In my experience, this is mostly true with the larger dog breeds, who get bullied by the cat. Maybe something to do with larger dogs tending to be more gentle souls(?)
The small, much more energetic dog breeds do tend to harass cats (mostly by continually chasing them).
This is my experience, at least.

I have quite a lot of vinyl records. Why? Because the recordings on them have never been available in any other form; that's the only rational reason to have them.
And I use contemporary equipment to play them - a turntable from the 1950s and a cartridge and arm from the 1970s:

HIgh School, 8th grade through 11th, was quite nice. Everything before that was Hell on Earth, sociologically.

It may be so that vinyl is bigger now than in the 90s, but I don't think it was dead by then. I think I was still buying vinyl in the early 90s at least, maybe even towards the mid 90s.

As I understand it, 'location location location'. There were diehard hi-fi fans in the 90s, too. The concentration of them just depended on where you happened to be. NYC apparently had a fair few record stores in the 90s that pretty much only sold vinyl.
[Not certain as to the reliability of the source for that last one.]
Hmmm.... considering Elliot works at the Horrible Revelation, I wonder if he knows a guy who makes electro-swing vinyls?
EDIT: Seems my guy was right about vinyls in the 90s, then. (I was just a kid at the time)

My younger brother and I both got in enough trouble at our Hell middleschool that we both barely graduated to high school one suspension short of expulsion. I was short, fat, and nerodivergent. My brother was who all the wannabe hood rats (Wichita gaddam Kansas) decided they needed to gang up on to prove how badass they were (2 or 3 vs 1 just proves cowardice). The other strike against both of us was that we were white kids at a mostly black school. Though, I was frequently mistaken for Hispanic, so I was targeted for that too.
EDIT 2: We've got a smidgen of Cherokee and Choctaw blood, so I managed to get olive skin. Both of my brothers burn like tomatoes.
