What's with the records?
trill:
I think I'm mainly into records for the experience of it.
I don't buy new music as records, unless that's the only way you can get it. It wasn't made to be on a record, and it doesn't sound like it was. But old music... I'm never going to see these bands live, and records feel like the next best thing.
I'll sit on the floor, put on my dad's massive 1970s headphones, and just listen. I love all the little pops and crackles. It feels more real, like humans actually made this music. It doesn't sound insanely produced, like most CDs do, to me.
Glass records make me insanely happy, too, although I'm kind of scared to touch them.
Also, between my dad's record collection and what I got from my neighbor when his dad died, it would be incredibly expensive/impossible to get CDs of everything. And I'm on 56k, so downloading is out.

Aye. My dad has at least 900 records, and so that also tends to add in to the "Why I listen to vinyl" argument.

You think so? Metal has lots of vinyl nerds.
Plenty of stuff is released on vinyl only, especially in the black metal genre.

Well then, metal in the UK has never had a vinyl culture. Or at least, it doesn't today. Seriously, I go to a reasonable amount of small and medium shows, never any vinyl. The American 'scene' is, for want of a word, a whole different kettle of fish, so I suppose I shouldn't have spoken.
:p lots more geeks and kvltists over there.
Signum_Tenebrae:
