In Reply to: NPR just ran a "Resergence of Vinyl" story posted by Jazz-Vinyl on April 16, 2007 at 05:59:53:
...sounds like NPR has about as firm a grip on recorded music sales as they do on the Israeli-Palestinian question.We are whack-job hobbyists (and darned proud of it!) Just because a few of us bought a few more overpriced reissues, or drove up the price of used vinyl on eBay, doesn't mean that records are coming back.
And what does an uptick in the sales of USB turntables prove? People are buying them to turn their old LPs into iPod fodder, not because they are going to go out and start buying 12-inchers again.
NPR News is one of the things that makes me ashamed to be a boomer...
