| Hey System-J, why does it bother you that some people have other reasons for buying vinyl, in addition to the music that comes out of the speakers from playing them? |

The clown talk coming from someone who sat down on a friday night with a 6-pack of beer to write a review about a Tiesto CD. Yea, that was a winning proposition right from the get-go. |
Be fair, Mark. That was probably the most hilarious music review I've ever read. |

| Materialists only bother me when they're as obnoxious as Mark Anthony. I'm not bothered if you want to buy vinyl. I'm bothered when certain labels don't give you a choice. |

Taken seriously about what? Do you think someone's opinion on music is worth less because of the format of their collection? And for what it's worth, I have hundreds of CD releases which add up to a hell of a lot of money, including multiple out-of-print rarities I've paid over $50 for a piece.
But it's ing obvious that music is a status symbol to you. The way you make Discogs thread praising classic tracks and then say you only actually play the percussive intros. The way you accuse people of liking records to be part of the "West Coast wanker crew". You can protest as much as you want, but as far as I'm concerned your obsession with owning vinyls is entirely about the show of them.
Already dismissed that line of thinking. And the entire post before that amounts to "Bull! [Materialistic reasons for valuing vinyl]". All of which is a compelling argument, but I'm going to have to utterly ignore it. |
Haha cheers mate, I wasn't out to change minds. I see where you're coming from but honestly there is something special about putting the needle down on a new record, a piece of music that is really ing good and worth any so called inconveniences. Its a different way to own and experience music and I enjoy it. Just the same as a beautiful printed photograph looks great hanging in a room in a nice frame, a nice record will always be better than a jpeg on a screen, or a line item in a winamp playlist. |

| I'm not too good with the search function but someone here had a great post about vinyl in a thread a few months ago. I won't be able to recite it as well as that person did but basically he/she was saying that although records diminish over time (as oppose to digital) it gives each record a personal uniqueness. To have your own copy is something you treasure more because it has its own character. |

| also system j, I'm reading your trancecritic on tiesto. "dancefloor euphoria pressed and packaged into plastic commodity manifest" - that's a good way to put it. |
