There is probably no bigger display of faggotry than being excited that you have a new day to downvote some more.  You must live a fulfilling life jerking off to the rainbow of colored plastic discs in your collection. 

Look at you all with your cuss words and insults lol. Take a good look at yourselves. Go look in the mirror I mean really, is that all any of you can do? You're all angry because you all know I'm right. Why do I buy vinyl records? I don't just buy vinyl i buy CDs, i buy them to listen to music I like and I do it in whichever way I think is the best way, that means price, where I can buy it, how badly I want it, lots of reasons. The other guy up the page likes to tell me that vinyl records weren't much good in 2007, at least when I walked into a highstreet music store here I went in and the place was full of 7" singles, 12" singles, imports, white labels, albums. The statistics might show otherwise but the selection ie. what you can buy ws far far better than it is today and if you are a music fan then you would have bought singles. Singles were a cheap way of buying a song you liked but maybe didn't want the album. It's no surprise I walk into those same stores now and the singles section is a tiny little shelf and the rest is overpriced LPs, most of them reiusses. Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Bruce Springsteen or Bob Marley or AC/DC and all these other artists that seem to overpopulate record stores but for someone like me who buys music to listen to it at that time, it doesn't do me much good. I'd take 2007, infact right up till the end of 2009 even over 2010-2013 any day of the week. You say I hate the fact that people who like the same music as me keep their music in frames. The kind of music I like, nowadays, I can't buy on wax unless I either buy the album or I look at the bootleggers and see what extra tracks they've stuck on with it and even then the bootleggers can't seem to even get that right these days because any singles they do release they release them months after they've been released to itunes so buy the time I get round to buying it I've already got another bunch of singles I'd like so I don't even buy bootlegs all that often unless it's something i really really want. I'm thrilled that vinyl records are selling so well but I'd be lying if I wasn't just a little insulted at every article I read about it claiming as if vinyl is back, as if it was gone and now it's this new thing that the kids are into. It never went away. It's the highest in 20 years and I look in record stores and I see names like Vampire Weekend and Daft Punk and Sting and I'm thinking what on earth are these people buying. I'd love to know where the sales are coming from. If this is what they are buying now, all these overpriced LPs they would have loved it just 4 years ago when it was just a regular format and the prices were much lower.
 
 
I daresay the crowd that are buying records now would have loved all the cheap 7" and 12" records. They could have got 4 or 5 for the same price they pay for an album. For them to make a comeback people would need to stop buying vinyl again. But of course that is all nonsense isn't it. And as for you Derek, I'm not any Try Hard or whatever you call it. I made a thread saying what I felt needed to be said, everything I said was true and if you don't like it tough. If i wanted to know your opinion I'd ask you. There is no crime about saying what you think, then again you do live in America, I know you don't have freedom of speech over there anymore. Old Barry from Kenya seen to that. Couldn't even vote an American to be your President could you and now the TSA have their hands down everyones pants in airports and you have all these patsys running around trying to scare people into giving up their guns and all these other fake things going on in the government. But on here no one will know Derek. On here you can have your Freedom of Speech back. On here, online , in this forum your constitution is real again, it's a real thing that means something and I wont take that away from you even though your President took it away from your people in real life. On here you can speak your mind but don't ever.....call me names or try and badmouth me ok. We got that? You're a good kid, you're passionate, I like your passion.

It was 2007, and I don't care that you think vinyl was big, the record sales show it wasn't. Digital sales were in their infancy, CDs were still king, and vinyl was for nerds, old fogeys, and DJs.
 
 
That's a nice way to talk about the founder of this forum isn't it?

I'd love to live in your fantastic la-la-land of music, where musicians can live off their hopes, dreams, and a few bucks made from selling $10 LP's at basement shows (split four ways, of course). 
 
These variants that you think are terrible keep labels in business, allow bands the opportunity to continue making music, and keep fans interested in their work. The more vinyl there is in the world, the better - who gives a shit if some people want to buy it in three colors? You can just buy your black copy and be happy with it. Or, even better, if you don't support this practice, don't support the labels that do it.

You can do that but I'm not like others out there. I'm gonna need over $100 dollars from you right now and I'll be speaking to you 5 or 6 times a year but don't worry it'll be unique. Rather than me hand numbering things for you and offering you special colours I'll just think of other things to make my time with you different cause I'm taking $100 off you right? You don't wanna get the same me that the rest are getting hell no.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Like because you would shit-talk a guy with a blog or because you are such a tuff guy that you couldn't resist beating the pulp out of a skinny 20-year-old? Pls send facts.

Is this the porn parody?

Ya'll ready for WWIII or what?

More places to buy vinyl = good for everyone.

Yeah, except Kurt mainlined heroin, and Brian writes blog posts. Definitely equitable in their approaches to fame.

Anything for you Niku

Like asking for a pizza without the cheese..

Dumbass me just refreshed for nine minutes before realizing the preorder was 12 PST.

What's up with the Seinfeld tease? TELL ME NOW

Would highly recommend anyone to pick up both that Weatherbox - American Art 2xLP and/or the Mansions/John Nolan split 7". Seriously, that Weatherbox release came out beautifully and you're a fool if you don't feel like that's an essential album to own.

RE: the finger... He's becoming less of a psycho, more of a human. Vogel has been smacking us over the head with that idea every 10-15 minutes so far this season. In that context it makes perfect sense, no?

There's blame everywhere - prosecution not excluded.... but to answer your question, I wouldn't follow anyone with a gun in any scenario. That's not my job. It wasn't Zimmerman's either.
 
"We all bleed the same blood"... that's exactly what I'm saying. A dumb ass wanna-be cop killed a seventeen year old kid for walking through the "wrong" neighborhood in the rain with a pack of Skittles. He's going to walk for it, because of a dumb ass law. It's just a fucked up situation from top to bottom. 
 
That's all I really have to say about it. If you want justice, write your reps about getting rid of these crazy gun laws.
