Is Vinyl Making a Comeback?

Glad to see the site up and running again. Great post. Of course, vinyl is the best format. Here in Los Angeles, the city has loss many record stores within the last decade. Sad, but understandable to a certain extent. But vinyl will always be around, you just got to make time to find it.

Yo @ Tye
What program are you using allready? Cuz you can actually use your existing software with timecoded vinyl depending on what software you’re using already. And it seems like the money saving option if you’re allready using your CD decks to control.

Viva la vinyl! Don’t forget all you Florida folks, after 10 years of living here I FINALLY found a record store and it’s in Fort Lauderdale, RADIO ACTIVE RECORDS. And yes, they are a record store that actually sells old vinyl!!

There is a great Sushi place near it so lemme know if you ever want to meet up there to shoot the shit and dig in the crates.

I’ll email ya at your GMail account

Oh yeah and I forgot you can play your regular old school Vinyl through it too.

SORRY, DON’T HAVE A PIC. HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THE POINT!! WHO CARES HOW I LOOK!! I AM NOT HERE TO LOOK PRETTY, BUT I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE CELEBRATION OF THE VINYL RECORD MAKING A COMEBACK. THANK GOD!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT OF CELEBRATION FOR YEARS SINCE I CAN REMEMBER THE VERY FIRST TIME THEY STARTED TAKING ALL THE RECORDS OFF OF THE MAINSTREAM MUSIC CHAIN STORES BACK IN 1990!! WOW THAT DAY SUCKED!! I WAS 14 AND FEELING LIKE CRAP AS I STARED AT THE RACKS BEING CLEARED OF THE VINYL ON A CLEARANCE SALE, ONLY FOR THE CD TO TAKE IT’S PLACE. YES, THE ECONOMY HAS TECHNICALLY SUCKED FOR ABOUT 10 YRS. NOW CAUSING A LOT OF RECORD STORES TO CLOSE DOWN, EVEN HERE IN DOWNTOWN MERCED,CA WHERE THERE USED TO BE 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS WITH 3 DISTINCT THEMES. FOR A SMALL TOWN AT THE TIME, THIS WAS A HEAVENSENT. NOW ALL THAT IS LEFT HERE IS THIS STUPID PLACE THAT ONLY HAS HALF RECORDS, AND THE OTHER HALF IS A HEAD SHOP. OKAY I GUESS, CONSIDERING THIS IS A SMALL TOWN STILL OF AT LEAST LESS THAN 60,000 PEOPLE IN IT. TO ME THOUGH, HONESTLY RECORDS NEVER DIED OUT. BESIDES THE 8 TRACK, AND “THE DESTINED TO BE DOOMED FOR A OBSOLETE FUTURE FORMAT” KNOWN AS THE CASSETE TAPE, VINYL HAS ALWAYS PREVAILED EVEN DURING THE 90′S WHEN THEY WERE RELEGATED TO THE CLEARANCE BIN, AND TAKEN OFF OF THE SHELVES. FOR AWHILE UNTIL NOW VINYL KIND OF WENT A LITTLE UNDERGROUND PER SE IN THE 90′S FROM THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIENCE IN THE WORLD OF THE CD. BUT THE WISE ALWAYS KNEW THAT THERE WAS ALWAYS A PLACE FOR VINYL, AND NEVER GOT RID OF THEIR RECORD COLLECTIONS, WHICH BRINGS ME TO ANTHER PLUS ABOUT VINYL BESIDES THE BIGGER VISUAL ARTWORK, LINER NOTES/INFO ON A ARTIST,LYRIC SHEETS. IT WAS THE SOUND MOST IMPORTANTLY THAT EVERYONE THAT KNEW, ALSO COULD TELL VINYL SOUNDED WAY BETTER THAN CD, OR THE MP3/IPOD FORMAT THAT WOULD COME OUT LATER IN YEARS. THE WARMTH, DEPTH,RICHNESS. THESE ARE ALL OF THE CLEAR REASONS WHY, BESIDES PARENTS TRYING TO EDUCATE THEIR KIDS ON THE FORMAT, BUT ALSO THE PIONEERING MUSICAL SOUNDS OF ROCK,SOUL,AND FUNK OF MANY YEARS AGO. FACE IT!! YOU CANNOT TAKE A FORMAT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED A CERTAIN WAY FROM THE PAST, DIGITALLY REMASTER IT, AND THEN FINALLY, WORSE OF ALL COMPRESS IT INTO A TINY LITTLE FORMAT KNOWN AS DIGITAL, AND PUT IT ON A CD, OR AN MP3 FILE, AND NOT EXPECT IT TO SOUND HORRIBLE. IT IS ALL OF THESE REASONS, AND MORE THAT IS PROOF ENOUGH THAT VINYL WILL DEFINITELY MAKE A COMEBACK,AND NEVER DIE OUT. FINALLY……………….BIGGER SOMETIMES IS SOMETIMES BETTER. AHHHHH!! YES, THE MEMORIES WILL REMAIN TILL THE DAY I DIE OF MY VERY FIRST RECORD. ONE OTHER THING AS WELL THAT COULD BE SAID ABOUT VINYL IS THE COLLECTABILITY THAT AN MP3, OR CD WILL NEVER HAVE. GET THE PICTURE!! NUFF SAID!! BUY A RECORD PLAYER, AND START DIGGING THOSE OLD RECORDS OUT OF THE GARAGE AGAIN!! SIT BACK, AND ENJOY!!
