What's with the records?

<< < (4/14) > >>

Signum_Tenebrae:
Some of my favorite stuff is released only on vinyl, which kind of sucks since I will probably not ever buy the actual record. . but I have it all in MP3 which is nice.

a pack of wolves:
A lot of my favourite stuff only gets vinyl releases too, since it's not popular enough to warrant two separate releases and a lot of people into hardcore and DIY rock really prefer vinyl. And since I really like lyrics and they're often undecipherable, and I play CDs and records far more than CDs (for one thing I can't afford an okay stereo and decent computer speakers) a record player is something of a necessity.

As for metal and vinyl fetishism, two words: Southern Lord.

--- Quote from: La Creme ---Most great jazz is only available on vinyl.

Whoa, hang on, what the fuck?!  Would you care to qualify that statement, La Creme, by explaining what you consider to be "great" jazz?  The jazz- reissue industry is insanely active at the moment - I have several hundred jazz C.D.s, including a very healthy chunk of what I would consider to be the greatest jazz recordings ever made - Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Charles Mingus, Lester Young . . . etc, etc.  And each of them are direct reissues of original vinyl albums.

Because they:
-fucking sound better
-fucking last longer
-are fucking easier to keep arranged
-are fucking cooler in general

inemnitable:
there's something about vinyl and debussy... they just go hand in hand.
