vinyl

so after a day of spending much money, hanging out with good friends listening to good music, and of course buying more vinyl in one day than i have in the last year.

We and by we i mean myself and my housemate have come to the conclusion, that cd's are obsolete and vinyl is the only way to buy music,
with the amount of digital downloads/ burning of cd's/ and just general throwing of cd's to friends for them to rip, cds just dont seem reasonable,
you get the exact same quality of music and sound from cd as you do from a half decent download, and cd's are harder to find and get a hold of than a download is. it inevitable vinyl is making a come back and its here to stay,
you get a different sound, you get unreleased special vinyl only tracks, art work is of a decent size and you can actually look at it and appreciate it way more, and any decent size poster you get from a cd has so many folds in it its unusable.
they are the same price as cd's and just way cooler, the only problem with vinyl is having a decent record player, but then that's all part of the sound and fun of vinyl, seeing how everyone's records sound slightly different on everyone else's record players


im not gonna say im gonna stop buying cd's, but with the ease of going to a record company's web site and buying the download for half the cost and 10 times the ease of hunting through every record shop in town, its defiantly going to slow, from now, i invest in vinyl

peace!
