Vinyl


What a great medium of storing music!
I couldn't ask for anything better. Music stored of vinyl, to me, seems a very tangible thing and i love to have that in my hand, I love to feel the music in my hands I feel like i own the music and that some form of "DRM" cannot stop me from listening to my music that i payed for. My collection is expanding and i hope it continues so i can show my kids that their father collects music from before he was born and that they are even older than cds.

I also hope that vinyl will continue to become more popular so that i may have more music in a raw form. Vinyl has better sound quality than cds and digital downloads which are always compressed to where the pianissimo and the fortes are indistinguishable from one another and the music ia one volume throughout, how boring! Who would want their music to be one volume, where is the interst in that?

More and more independent artists are releasing on vinyl as are rap artist (for scratching) which pleases me greatly and the always have much cooler album art. And you get funny looks when you buy the vinyl from a store that doesn't sell many records. :D

Some people love their cars, some people love their sports, some people love each other, I love my vinyl!
