Your crazy. Starting a vinyl collection makes about as much sense as picking up a coke habit.

Hey, what can I get into that:
-I'll think about all the time
-Search for when I can't find it what I want
-Spend a lot of money on.


Cocaine or Vinyl: no difference. You've gone down a terrible road my friends. A long and terrible road.

I don't buy one everyday. Sometimes I go months without buying a record. I can stop anytime I want to.



After I have everything I could ever like on vinyl.

A product of post-millenium download mayhem, I've walked a similar vinyl laden path.

If I bought it on Mp3 or CD, unless I really really really love the album, I leave it on the format in which it was bought.

It is a waste of money and a vanity issue in my eyes to re-buy something on vinyl. If you really want to have a nice vinyl collection, discipline yourself to make all your "new" music purchases on wax instead of CDs or tapes or mp3s. If you're already buying a lot of music, you should have a decent stack in no time.

I'm not rebuying anything doude, I've always bought it in that format. I never even had a CD player until 2000 and all of the CD's I have are either given to me our bought in used stores when they don't put it on LP. I have a large mp3 collection and some things I have in that format that I got for free I have bought on vinyl when I saw it because I want to make damn sure I don't lose it. Computers are fuck ups waiting to be installed.

You're what? 19? And you're telling me how to budget my music buying? I've been buying music since the 80's and in the 80's all I had to play it on was my Dad's turntable. It never occured to me to buy CD's until I was long out of college and even then it was out of necessity.

This is not vanity, this is fandom.

This week I managed to score a vinyl copy of Scott Walker's The Drift for an absurdly cheap price. It was total happenstance.

i stole the new shellac album.

Most of the records I listed are albums I already have on CD. I finally got a decent turntable about a year ago and have been slowly but surely converting all my CDs to vinyl.

You crazy.

Before I started buying stuff I already have on CD on vinyl I had a decent stack of probably 200 records. Then I got a decent turntable and decided if I'm going to have a thousand bucks into a table, I should use it. So now all new purchases are vinyl (if available) and when I can find decent used copies of stuff I have on CD, I buy it and ebay the CD.

It has nothing to do with being vain.

Fucking Christ. I was responding to the idea of rebuying music on vinyl. Not in particular to you. If it was particular to you, I would've prefaced my comment with "To you El Protoolio."
