I had a vinyl collection for a while. I loved it, but when I stopped djing at parties and started moving more, it began to become obvious that I was hauling around a lot of my vinyl collection for two terrible reasons, sentimental attachment to the objects and the idea that someone would look through my collection and make the decision that I was cool. If you are buying your music and its not inconvient for you to go to stores that sell vinyl (or you like the inconvience) than vinyl is the way to go. But I don't buy that much of my music.

Is this new?  I thought vinyl had been fashionable since the mid-nineties.



"Vinyl records are just a small scratch on the surface when it comes to total album sales--only about 0.2%, compared to 10% for digital downloads and 89.7% for CDs, according to Nielsen SoundScan--but these numbers may underrepresent the vinyl trend since they don't always include sales at smaller indie shops your yard sales and your local Salvation Army, where vinyl does best.
