Vinyl Gets Its Groove Back

Posted by kdawson on from the what-goes-around-comes-ariynd dept.

theodp writes "Time reports that vinyl records are suddenly cool again. Vinyl has a warmer, more nuanced sound than CDs or MP3s; records feature large album covers with imaginative graphics, pullout photos, and liner notes. 'Bad sound on an iPod has had an impact on a lot of people going back to vinyl,' says 15-year-old David MacRunnel, who owns more than 1,000 records."

    I found your comment to be quite interesting. Not trying to flamebait here, but the notion of the emperor's new clothes only being visible to superior beings got me thinking about religion... Could it be that many of the very religious are just trying very hard to convince themselves that they see the emperor's clothes? The resultant behaviour certainly is in line, specially the apparent atmosphere of holier than thou.
