i really dug this article. one of my main gripes with people refusing to release digitally is that they feel somehow like the genie can be put back into the bottle. digital isn't going anywhere, and neither is vinyl. but expanding our market to include not only djs, but fans of the music is nothing but a good thing.

at the end of the day, i want to be able to put good music in the hands of people who love it, and to be able to buy the music i love so that the artists can make the music they love and perhaps even make a bit of money.

my financial situation has gotten considerably bad over the last year, and i have been unable to spend a lot of money on vinyl, but have still been buying music on a regular basis (more regular than when i just bought vinyl, to be honest). if i did not have the digital option, i wouldn't be buying ANY music. which is better for the labels and artists?
