Analog Revival Means Vinyl Will Outlive CD
An anonymous reader writes "In the age of the iPod, an unlikely revival is taking place — kids are turning to 7" vinyl to get their kicks. Sales of 7" singles are apparently through the roof. Bands like the White Stripes are releasing thousands of new singles on the format, and record purchases have risen by over a million units in the last year — back to 1998 levels. NME told CNET: "it's very possible that the CD might become obsolete in an age of download music but the vinyl record will survive,". The article explains how indie kids are drawn to vinyl because "the tactile joy of owning a physical object that represents your attachment to a band is infinitely more enjoyable than entering a credit card number into iTunes.""
Was he any good? C'mon, we want details.
W..w..W - Willy Waterloo washes Warren Wiggins who is washing Waldo Woo.
Ok that was random, I have to know what club was this exactly! :)
(I know your just a troll, but playing along for the fun of it).
Finally, people enjoy the size of the cover art. Cover art died with the CD, a great many people believe that.
No, it didn't. Remember the long boxes CDs used to be packaged in? You can blame the environmentalists for killing cover art. But personally, I never had a great attachment to it.
Vinyl sounds better because we are human beings. Maybe you're not, but that's besides the point.
