The Vinyl Appreciation Thread!

i just hate shopping for mp3s
buying them is just a pain in the ass , no shop assistants to maybe throw something wild into the bag....
pages and pages of words and numbers but nothing thats easy for you to remember
mp3s don't exactly " jump of the shelf" and say "buy me."
you have to go find them.
and mostly ,you have to know what you are looking for.

BUT ...they have their uses, and once you get into using the net shops browsing and search facilities it'sa nota so bad

but you do find yourself going down the same old corridors all the time
never finding anything " new "

gimme a 12" any day as they say.

That's where sites like OiNK are pretty good.

Certain tracks lead to similar other tracks, so you discover lots of new stuff.

Vinyl is simply the most hands on way of dj'ing, you can do 5hit mixing vinyl that you would never even dream about in traktor

think you've got that the wrong way around son, you can do things with ableton and reaktor that you physically will NEVER be able to do on decks. Unless you were superman, which im guessing your not


the thing i really love about vinyl is taking your prized records to gigs, turning your back on your bag for 1 minute and turning back to find the majority of your records stolen

lovely feeling!
