marvin Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I never knew such a day existed, but according to the link, "The original idea for Record Store Day was conceived by Chris Brown, and was founded in 2007 by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave and Brian Poehner as a celebration of the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally. This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances."Go out and buy / play vinyl! http://www.recordstoreday.com/CustomPage/614 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I used to love to open the cello and inhale the smell of newly pressed vinyl - sigh.... and then play it to death! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I've never stopped playing my vinyl. When people come to our house, one of the first things they remark about is the record / vinyl collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Marshall Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Oops...Guess I screwed up spending 4 months transferring vinyl into my computer and then out onto cd. But...I want to HEAR the stuff and playing records is A LOT of a schlep for me.Vinyl OR cds sure wack the poop out of mp3s though. Too much info and nuance LOST if it ain't the whole 9 yards.And once again radio...who used to fight to establish the best quality now seem to favour computerized unattended programming and mp3s over serving an astute and demanding audience.. Why? Cause the kids don't seem to care. But then why would they when they listen to computer generated music?No record stores left anywhere near where I live anyway.

marvin Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I see some stores near me (Calgary) are starting to stock more and more vinyl, albeit at crazy prices (around $20 minimum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
