richheap Yes, I can't imagine it going mainstream again. I can imagine someone launching an app that can play your MP3 files in a crackly style so it sounds like they're being played on vinyl. Someone must...

Nicole Ferraro I'm very confused about the fact that there's such a thing as Record Store Day, but I'm also mad at Earth Day, so maybe it's just me. In any case, I think your POV is spot on, Rich. These establishments...
Nicole Ferraro I think the return of vinyl has more to do with the emergence of hipsters than it does anything else. These are the people bringing back vinyl records, cameras with film, and typewriters. (I,...
