"Alice says that vinyl has soul and that its imperfect sound is like 'a performance every time it's played. It's never quite the same twice.'"

We should also start a thread that we bump every time a new york writer hedges his/her reporting on a trend with some variation on "By now it's obvious that x is making a comeback/is popular"

rammer jammer jan hammer (Hurting 2), Thursday, 23 September 2010 17:27 (fourteen years ago)

see also "It's almost a cliche to point out that..."

rammer jammer jan hammer (Hurting 2), Thursday, 23 September 2010 17:27 (fourteen years ago)

I don't see that as hedging so much as apologizing for being late on something that's been done to death

or a politer way of saying "hey don't look at me, someone assigned me this dumb topic"

dmr, Thursday, 23 September 2010 17:33 (fourteen years ago)

Or alternatively "Yeah, I know this is lame. I write for the New York Times. They pay my bills. It's not me."

dmr, Thursday, 23 September 2010 19:11 (fourteen years ago)

that's what i figured

jaxon, Thursday, 23 September 2010 20:23 (fourteen years ago)

The novel spin that this story seems to be offering is that record buyers are locavores? I mean, I don't expect much more from the NYT styles section... and at least the writer knew that there was ALSO a Long Island record fair happening at the same time, which, if it was anything like the one I went into Chicago last weekend (and most record fairs I've been too) was probably NOT the set of assorted weirdos that the styles section would ever want to touch. Not much of point here except that this article seems, a la Kids Are Alright, more about strategically expanding what "locavore" means as consumer/style category.

barry leavitt, Friday, 24 September 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago)

... and that record buying/selling as "style" is just so irritating. Whatever, impotent rage, I know.

barry leavitt, Friday, 24 September 2010 16:30 (fourteen years ago)

ok, so wtf does 'locavore' (which I thought meant you eat local produce) have to do w/ records? or does it now mean shopping locally, so anyone who doesn't go to a chain store a locavore now? are locavores retrosexual? i is confused

Aqua Buddha (herb albert), Friday, 24 September 2010 16:38 (fourteen years ago)

i was at the l.i. one, fwiw. picked out six $1 country records. guy said they're seven-for-five, so if i pick out another one it'd only be $5. i was, like, can we make believe I picked out another one? he was, like, ok.

Thus Sang Freud, Friday, 24 September 2010 17:07 (fourteen years ago)

it was pretty same-old, though. shoulda gone to the brooklyn one. my luck i would have wound up in the nytimes though, so just as well.

Thus Sang Freud, Friday, 24 September 2010 17:10 (fourteen years ago)

The guys in the NYT couldn't stay long, they had to get back to their home charcuteries and pick up cupcake making supplies for their gf's microfinanced online bakery.

investors view rarities by The Beatles and Queen as more stable assets than risky market ventures.

keep an eye on this space in january for an interview/photo-shoot that SF's 7x7 magazine did with ILX regular "69" about his switch from downloading/digital music to records, and about the general merits of the medium...

R.I.P. Vinyl records?

Thus Sang Freud, Monday, 6 December 2010 21:38 (fourteen years ago)

I love Vinyl. I hope it doesn’t go away… and if it does I hope it does only after I own the next Radiohead record on 180 gram.

I saw Alan Zweig's "Vinyl" last night - it starts out being kinda what you expect (LOL record nerds), but ends up being a lot more. Worth watching IMO
