My family has at least 2 really fancy linear-arm turntables chilling at home, one of which is a B&O make. A goon once described it at looking like something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. In addition, my father has collected loving boxes upon boxes of records, pretty much all LPs but with some little gems thrown in, like promo copies of singles from J&R and even a couple of little squares of singles that came out of Guitar World magazines back in the day. I've managed to add a modest collection of my own to the mix, especially given that I listen to screamo/hardcore stuff which is still actually released on vinyl as a primary format. One time I bought a 5" record at a show and only just barely stopped my dad from cramming it into the CD player in our car when I showed it to him. I guess the fact that it was translucent blue didn't tip him off to the fact that it wasn't actually a CD. I guess the point I'm trying to make with these lovely, meandering stories it that vinyl is cool.

Dissapointed Owl posted:This is the vinyl thread, those stories are definitely not lovely nor meandering here Aw, shucks. Here's a picture of a record and a shotgun! They're kind of thematically linked!  I also have a Genghis Tron Cloak of Love 10" picture disc which really blew some 15 year olds minds when I got on the train with it coming home.

So the [Pias] warehouse was burned to the ground in the riots in England. Apparently some of the labels they did distribution for are reporting 90%+ loss of their stock and it may actually put some of them under.
