Is it really out of style? What do you make of
this:
"Talk to almost anyone in the music business' vital indie
and DJ scenes and you'll encounter a uniformly optimistic picture of the vinyl
market."
"I'm hearing from labels and distributors that vinyl is way up," said Ian Connelly, client relations manager of independent distributor alliance IODA, in an e-mail interview. "And not just the boutique, limited-edition colored vinyl that Jesu/Isis-style fans are hot for right now." "Pressing plants are ramping up production, but where is
the demand coming from? Why do so many people still love vinyl, even though its
bulky, analog nature is anathema to everything music is supposed to be these
days? Records, the vinyl evangelists will tell you, provide more of a connection
between fans and artists. And many of today's music fans buy 180-gram vinyl LPs
for home listening and MP3s for their portable devices."
I'm loving this!!! Will be interesting to see where
this goes. Can you imagine taking vinyl to your gigs in 2 years? Or exchanging
actual vinyl albums and sleaves at Y2K10?
