Plastic Dies

My favorite record stores Plastic Fantastic shut down in London about a month ago...

I'm shattered.

Sure, i know the world's going digital....and that vinyl would slowly phase out was a foregone conclusion... But Plastic, and the crew there were special.

Covent Garden will never be the same again.

With the growing popularity of sites like Beatport, Audiojelly.. I think these stand alone record stores will be completely gone in years to come.. or may switch to 'niche stores' for DJs who still use vinyl..

R.I.P. I guess; both to stores (and to vinyls?).

oh my god...plastic went down too!?!? i haven't been there awhile since i'm not really a prog dj, but they were most definitely one of the better stores in london. incredibly up-to-speed on their music and actually knew what they sold.

that totally blows though...i never thought that i would witness the downfall of so many vinyl stores.

Now who is Randy Katana?

I thought ASOT killed it when most of new releases are released on this show nowdays and is instantly available for download the minute the show is over.

Way to miss a joke. He was obviously referring to his "track" named Plastic Fantastic.

Actually, yeah. If I knew a track was available in 4 months on vinyl, I would.

And maybe then we wouldn't see such a plethora of crap that gets released these days as "EDM". Its so easy to release digitally... and thats why there's so much crap around. Or am i being naive, and are there just far more producrs these days, fucked on drugs?

When you had to pay for your vinyl releases, people put a lot more thought into the music they were producing.

I know the world is going digital, and I know of its benifits... but for people like me who play on vinyl, and have spent a good part of their lives in these stores, interacting with the guys who work there, and physically going thru stacks of records with fabulous cover art.... there's an emotional bond that you won't understand if you world begins and ends with able-fucking-ton.

I know the worlds gonna change, and dj-ing too... but screw me if i wanna lug my record bags around from city to city for just a while longer.
