companyinkrecs Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 No because I'm not a fucking idiot. Records are a slight drain on rapidly depleting resources as it is. I'm not going to continue adding to that to get next to nothing in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffbloom Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Um ... there is no "music" if the record isn't played. This may be the silliest post I've ever read. I don't know what internet you use, but the one that I use has digital music readily available to listen to for free at any given time. Be it through downloading illegally or through a service like Spotify. Buying physical copies that I can hold makes me feel feel like the artists are finally giving me a product worth buying.

Wait, you buy records to "hold them" while you listen to a digital version? I literally have no response to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 OK, I will answer this question in a more direct and less hostile manner. I would imagine that losing my hearing would affect my life in such an extreme way that buying records would be the last thing on my mind.

Shitty Rambo Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 the artists are finally giving me a product worth buying. What entitles you to get free music? I'd be bummed out to have a fan like you "supporting" my music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 When I was in middle/high school I bought LTJ 7's all the time, never had a way to play them, I just loved having everything LTJ. My two favorite bands growing up were Blink and LTJ. I bought They Came to Conquer Uranus from the Grilled Cheese/Cargo SNAIL MAIL order catalog, that's how old that was hahaha I've always loved music but I usually chose whatever medium was more convenient at the time tape/cd/mp3. It wasn't until about 4-5 years ago when Jack's Mannequin's Glass Passenger came out when I purchased the first record that would really ignite my love for vinyl. My roommate at the time inherited his dad's collection after he passed and I'll admit I wanted the JM record just to frame but my roommate hooked up his turn table one night and when I listened to it I was blown away. From there I dug out all my old LTJ 7's and went to my local record store and bought some Stones, Dylan, Beatles, the Police and Queen. From there, it was all down hill!

homework Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yes. My turntables are on the other side of the country, but I'm still buying records. I second this. I am currently building my collection, and my turntable is on the other side of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I keep buying records, but have not had my turntable hooked up in a while, unfortunately. I may not until I move to another apartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superrocker47 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 No, I didn't have a turntable when the Type O Negative box came out and I couldn't justify $150 for something that would sit on my shelf. Yea not too happy about that decision now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I think what OP is asking is "if records were just blank with no way of reproducing music, would you still pay money for them?" The obvious answer is "fuck no, that is completely fucking stupid. They take up too much space, use too many resources and are too expensive to just keep on a shelf. I'd buy a T-shirt or a CD or something if I wanted to 'support the band'." And of course, people on this board have already answered "I already do."

Team Avatar Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 If records were just a blank disc with no music on it, why would anybody buy them? Although I'm never going to play some of my records ( because I have a variant worth 1/10th the cost ), I wouldn't buy it if there wasn't the possibility of playing it. If I was deaf, I would still buy them, and probably still play them too. (I'm currently quite hearing impaired, but I know that even if it keeps getting worse, I'd still buy them). If record players cost 1 million dollars, but records cost the same, I probably would still collect. It's a collection, and I find satisfaction in knowing I've completed it // am working on it.
