anybody see that new mcdonalds commercial?
its 30 seconds of vinyl fetishism...somebody around their house going through their record stacks, sorting through a crate while chomping some food...
as a collector of vinyl its interesting to me how only 5 years ago i had to answer questions about why i bought vinyl...people looked at me like i was crazy...
unfortunately its made it a lot harder to find quality vinyl. few people are dumping it anymore although the other day i had an amazing 200+ record haul...but it had been a while... the deals these days are in CDs.. people are dumping them like people dumped LPs in the 80s/90s... will they regret it? certainly many people who got rid of their LPs have...
anyways the highlight of this haul was probably finally after all these years finding a copy of john cale's paris 1919 in excellent shape (they all were.. the entire lot was in amazing shape) for $1...I know its not that rare but I've never seen a copy I think.... other highlights where a rare hawkwind record, a few cluster records, a few robert wyatt records, the entire the sound discography, the original beggars banquet frightening world of the fall, the first new order 12" original pressing, the Opal record, the luxury condos compilation with yo la tengo on it (yeah atomic!), etc.....
physical media is dead to the sheeple but its really a personal choice and there will always be people who enjoy it..its just a subculture. is all...
