the inevitable 'what the fuck are Vinyls?'
http://www.gamingforce.org/forums/me...tte-tapes.html
After looking through this thread I tried to see if I had any Cassette tapes still laying around my house but came up empty handed. Then I started thinking, fuck cassette, what about vinyls.. I actually started collecting vinyls a while back because I started dj'ing.. I don't have anything super old or rare. I mostly have some Dieselboy, Ak1200, Gridlock, Dj Panik, Roni Size and a few other jungle/DnB tracks. So anyone have vinyls? Still listen to them? Do you spin? Discuss Jam it back in, in the dark. |
You realise vinyl is all the craze in the indie crowd. Of course people still buy vinyl.
There's nowhere I can't reach. John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
I've also noticed a larger selection of vinyls in stores, now. Particularly Best Buy. Go figure.
How ya doing, buddy? |
Once I'm not living in an apartment any longer and can actually have a nice sound system, I'm planning on getting a turntable and collecting some of my favorite albums in vinyl, if only because of the Loudness Wars.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I happen to have a moderately sized collection of vinyls (100 ~ 150), but most of them I've gotten from people who where getting rid of them. This counts my brother, who also gave me the turntable with a bunch of rock albums, a professor for whom I worked as an assistant who was moving (exclusively classical with a Pink Floyd album stuck in there for some reason), my girlfriend's grandparents (mostly golden oldies) and this old woman that my girlfriend knew who donated about a dozen full length opera recordings to her.
I've bought a few myself, but I've never actually gone above 5$ for a single vinyl, as I don't particularly like the medium itself as far as practicality or sound quality goes. The only albums I did buy were either just things that I had heard about but hadn't been able to get my hands on or albums that I didn't have and which were available on the cheap. I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Germans have it all backwards. I couldn't find a record store that had a good selection in cds. Most of the good stuff was only in vinyl.
In other European countries close to the edge of the Iron Curtain, the "problem" is not so big, but the vinyls are still quite abundant, at least in Hungary and here in CR. Only the "western" countries silently threw away vinyl for a while, during the nineties. It's making a comeback in Finland, too. How ya doing, buddy? |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I have a few vinyl but no turntable. Probably my favorite one that I have is something that my brother gave me and that's Opeth - Deliverance. I figured Opeth would sound great on vinyl. I haven't found out if I'm right or not.

There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I just recently cleaned out the storage shed/shop behind the house. There were some 8-tracks--even a player, too!
It was kinda fun to toss it all into a trash bag and cart it away. Also, I have a handful of vinyls. It's all old stuff that used to be my mom's and uncles'. Nothing all that worthwhile. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
