oscillik Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I think it's your own choice and nothing anybody else will say will effect it. Just ask yourself - do you love vinyl? I do, therfore I buy it. quoted for truth don't listen to cunts like me, or retards like MAXIMUM MISTAKE do listen to AcrossCanyons, and everyone else in this thread that has suggested the same advice. do it if you want to do it. getting vinyl because someone tells you to do it is a bit...wrong.

Guest KY Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 if you really need to ask a message board whether you should start consciously doing anything, you probably just shouldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaksta303 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I don't get why this thread exists in the 1st place. It's like asking the watmm collective if he should wipe after dumping, or plant a garden this year, or which bar to go to on your birthday. THE ANSWER IS WITHIN.

luke viia Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I will suggest that you do not collect vinyl unless you are quite fond of it already. I know a few people that collect vinyl and do not own a record player. This fascinates me and puts my palm on my face. They may as well be collecting empty record sleeves, but I'm sure they would scoff at that idea. I urge you to protect yourself from the idea that collecting vinyl somehow makes you able to appreciate the music more. It doesn't. The appreciation is in your head, not the medium. With that said, I used to buy a decent amount of vinyl, but it's expensive. I averaged about 4-5 records a month and it was always over $100 if they were new, or "collectible" old records. Unfortunately, once I stopped collecting vinyl I stopped listening to my records regularly and now they are just sitting there while I listen to digital files because I can take them with me wherever I go, they're cheaper, and I don't have to worry about destroying them. Also, I actually have a couple of new vinyl releases that sound worse than the digital files I have - on the same speakers, with a good player! Then again I have a few others that sound quite a bit better - the burial/four tet 12" is a good example. That record sounds smooth as eggs on vinyl and it's sort of forgettable to me in mp3 format. The quality goes both ways IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltoi Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The plural of vinyl is vinyl. You may prefer to use 'records' when referring to the plural. Saying or writing 'vinyls' makes you sound like a lisping simpleton. when i wear my vinyl trousers i like to say 'vinyls' for short. as in "my vinyls are chafing something awful today!" i have 3 pairs of vinyls and i think you, rhombix, should start collecting too, it's a very worthwhile passtime.

murve33 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Not going to read the thread. I've been buying vinyl lately, because they look pretty. That's the only reason. I buy a vinyl, and then pirate the music I bought. If I need a CD I'll burn one. Edited for improper use of the plural form of "Vinyl". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I don't get why this thread exists in the 1st place. It's like asking the watmm collective if he should wipe after dumping, or plant a garden this year, or which bar to go to on your birthday. THE ANSWER IS WITHIN. 80% of what's written on forums is a waste of time. But I'd rather be having a chat about the pro's and con's of vinyl than some fucking dullard going on about John Terry back as the England football captain, how much coke was snorted at the weekend, the pros and cons of a dollop of beans with a fucking fry-up, or how there's not much overtime at work at the moment.

rixxx Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Don't do it. Best wishes from a vinyl collector. Pretty much this. Pros: Records are awesome. You can find really amazing totally obscure stuff for super cheap. Cool factor. :sup: Cons: Can be fairly expensive if you want to get all your favourite rare stuff. Moving is a massive pain in the ass. I moved to a fourth floor apartment with no elevator and holy shit vinyl is HEAVY AS HELL, lugging 15 cases up four flights of stairs is pretty much one eagle-eating-your-liver short of Prometheus' fate. IT WILL CONSUME YOUR VERY SOUL Yeah, when you have to turn down renting property cause there's so much of the bloody stuff its pretty stressful.
