Haha, smh.

I'd say about 90% of the money I spent in 2011 went to vinyl. Feels nice to contribute.

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

Vinyl and books are all I asked for for Christmas. I'm very glad it's coming back, as long as people are spending money on something that benefits artists.

I've never heard of them but I know Man Overboard put out some stuff on cassettes. Who would have thought that there would be labels devoted to releasing cassettes in 2012?

vinyl can sound clean depending what set up you use. older records are more likely to have pops and shit in it, if you take care of your records and needle, have a decent preamp it wont happen as much

it also depends what condition the record is in

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.

I've been really into used vinyl lately - old stuff from the 60's and 70's. Nothing like the sound of an old, worn in vinyl. I buy a lot new stuff on vinyl too, though, so this is great news.

Is it safe to infer that if you don't but any music in general that you don't listen to any music in general?

Vinyl really is the one medium that can't be killed, it's been said over and over again that vinyl died, but it never did.
