Give it a few years until all the hipsters are gone and sales are back down.

To me if it's interesting enough it will be pressed on vinyl regardless of its hip or not. But then again I could care less for stuff like the mondo batman series...

Lot's of great things didn't get pressed 10+ years ago. Thanks to it being "hip" they are coming out now....I like things being "hip."

As do the physical record stores.

I don't think this is just a fad. I think there has been a cultural shift. I think sometimes we are overwhelmed with technology surrounding us and we like to regress to more simplistic things. Back on topic anybody have any good deals out there I should be aware of?

Agreed. People would rather have an artifact if they're gonna pay for music. I could spend $10 on itunes or $20-30 for a record that also comes with a download. The big cover to roll joints on is a bonus.

The popularity of vinyl being this high is a "fad", for lack of a better term. It will always be around, but it will experience a dip in popularity at some point. Then, at some point, it will experience a resurgence.

I don't understand the complaints about vinyl being too expensive. For a basic new record I spend, on average, around $25. That is shipped directly to me and includes a digital download or CD copy 90% of the time. Seems reasonable to me. It's the deluxe editions and box sets I've cut way back on. If its not something really cool or a band I really love I find they're usually a waste of money.

I disagree. There is quite the fad going on right now, especially with people closer to my age. I am in my 20s and I could count on one hand the amount of friends I have who have a record player and purchase vinyl as one of their main forms of music. I do on the other hand know a bunch of people who buy records because they look cool and are nice to show off in a frame or on a table. Why do you think these limited edition coloured vinyl and variants and splatter pressings or whatever else you can do with vinyl are so popular?

We are also still in a time where we have all those people around (getting older...but still around) who grew up with vinyl and still use it as a main form of listening. Younger generations couldn't care less for the most part...so I could see a drop as those older generations go away..hah

I agree with Ben though. I do like seeing all these things pressed on vinyl that would have never been pressed years ago. I love being able to walk into a music store and find almost every album put out now days, on vinyl. That is how it should be.. Do I hope it stays like that for a long time? Yes. Do I think it will? Maybe not.

Looking pretty good so far, new Weezer is $18.38 and I assume I can use the coupon on it as well to bring it down to about $13.50. Have you purchased from them before, do they pack well?

[shaneoftheroad]

The code is only for purchases over $50, FYI.
