[NewMusic] Vinyl?

[Robair, Gino]

To me, music delivery formats are akin to a food-delivery format such as
bread (or pasta). Some things taste better on sourdough or rye, while other
things taste good on everything.

Saying that one format is dead or is "last year" is meaningless, unless
you're a major label and have millions invested. Musicians are still
releasing cassettes, for example, not to mention reels and vinyl. Some of us
still have a collection of music on cassettes, DATS, reels, records, and all
sorts of discs. Just because it isn't worth anything at Amoeba or on Ebay
doesn't mean one can't enjoy the listening experience.

FWIW, I happen to like hearing rock music on vinyl. The drums and guitars
sound great when the disc is well mastered. I also enjoy loudish orchestral
music and jazz on record.

Shiurba and I recently did a 4-LP direct-to-disc session in LA with David
Rothbaum and Jeremy Drake, which includes a side of spontaneously created
locked loops. It's an art piece. I still like art. I even like music and
musicians, sometimes.
