The Vinyl Revolution is tyte. 'Audiophiles' are bringing back vinyl in a big way. Check out Amazon.com's Vinyl Search. Pretty legit, right?

Vinyl sales are not surprisingly going up in the digital age, where mp3 players have changed the definition of portability, making CDs pretty much obsolete. Vinyl brings back the warm tones of analog sound that are missed in the digital process of making CDs and ripping them to mp3s (that's why your digital copy of In Rainbows that you paid for online so you could support the revolution sounds like shit when played out of your dad's high end speakers. Don't worry. Lot's of people were pissed too.)

Lots of bros picked up on this early and got a turntable and asked 'Hey wanna come chill at my place and listen to vinyl?' then proceeded to lecture us in the superiority of vinyl. Yeah. I get it. It's better. But, hey bro? Your copy of Person Pitch sounds a lot like my 198 kb/sec ripped mp3 version. Why? Music is all being recorded digitally today, making there almost no distinction between the record and a very high quality digital version. Unless you know the band used magnetic tape to record and not ProTools, you should probably just download it. But if you own Pet Sounds...that's a different story.
