Vinyl sales rise to 6 million in 2013

Then i can pick up some mint bargains in expectation of these hipsters getting older and richer and pining for things of their youth and being willing to pay a pretty penny for it. I could probably help the push future value by crushing or melting in bulk much of what they will be after.

Of course by then you'd be able to 3D print the records, but people are such suckers for 'original' things. That's why they bought the fucking vinyl in the first place.

yeah that's fucking cool though that they must have some kind of minority report digital paper that they can look at like a 12" vinyl record sleeve and it's linear while they listen to mp3s.

ok you got me, i don't have giant artwork, although i have hi res scans of album art that i can stare at if it's really that important, which it isn't to me. but the act of listening has not changed. i'm still as engaged as ever. the idea that you somehow become an adhd lunatic who can't concentrate for five seconds when you listen to an album on an ipod is idiotic. i've always taken music on the go, whether it was cds or tapes or files. and when i'm at home i'm equally attentive to both my vinyl (yes i own some) and my flacs/lossy shit.

i just don't believe that there's one superior format. and personally, if i'm going all in on vinyl, i really need to own thousands. it's the only way. so for now, i go digital. also physical formats are pretty wasteful and vinyl might be the worst offender. also a bitch to move.

you guys are right about the vinyl boom though, it's all "yupsters" buying up 25 dollar copies of the new mumford and sons album at urban outfitters.

I did actually see a copy of that SAW II US repress in an Urban Outfitters once, LOL.

this needs to be heavily updated btw

Robbie the yupster had to check his email to see if his order for his custom Marc Ecko shirt had gone through, so he decided to go to Starbucks to grab some coffee as well.

that describes a number of young professionals here, though it is not as prevalent as the government contractor who wears a black north face jacket, white oxford, loafers with no socks and jeans and usually attended georgetown or george washington university. his girlfriend is an exact copy in blonde and ugg boots. truly loathsome.

2 years later, and data says the vinyl revival is slowing down

maybe drake can come to the rescue?
