Fuck yeah. This is what I'm talking about.

Want to start small run releases once I can get some capital saved up. Already have some in mind.

Nice contribution.

I wouldn't be surprised if cassettes make a comeback as music snobs look elsewhere now that vinyl are on the rise.

Best cassette label is out of Minneapolis : Moon Glyph

They get a lot of press for being a cassette label - though they are pressing vinyl now too - bit also for their really unique roster. It's a great label ran by a great dude.

We also have a few record shows that only sell vinyl and cassettes. They don't even let CDs in the store. I personally don't have any interest for cassettes - I lost my Home Alone TalkBoy years ago - but I would probably buy a limited release if there was one.

Google the of Montreal cassette boxset. Now that's aggressive, but it'd be an awesome collector / fan item.

Nice. Would love to have Censored on vinyl.

the record I'm most excited for is that Feist/Mastodon 7 inch split for Record Store Day. can't wait

Hell yeah, man. RSD is like second Christmas if you collect vinyl. Love it. Grab that Weathebox EP too...some awesome color variants.

Two of favorite records I have are Fleet foxes debut and No Age's Everything in Between. The artwork for EIB is amazing. The cover is a huge record-sized booklet like a CD. Thing is mint. Oh, and my Rocket to Russia record.

Must have: Sufjan Stevens Age of Adz. It's just damn expensive. I think it's a triple disc.

Check out www.insound.com

For sure. Electric Fetus is my second home.

Oh yeah, and a special shout out to Thomas for the nice package of vinyl I got from paper and plasitc records for winning that contest.

On average you could spend about the same or a dollar more if you are buying local.just a thought. Online gets spendy

And even so, ripping a CD is easier for me than getting files from a record (even with a download code). It's just not my thing.

For sure just thought I'd throw it out there.
