"How it has risen from charity shop basement to wealthy living room is a parable for our times, a classic example of popular resistance to the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence and market forces."Blown metaphors there....(I'm sure Charlie Hansen will find a way to blame JV and TAS for this)...."wealthy living room" does not equal "popular resistance."
The vinyl revival is primarily a dilettante's pursuit.
Which is fine.
Other than my lack of owning 14 versions of Kind of Blue or the 45 rpm single sided vinyl re-releases of Eva Cassidy singing treacly Sting songs, I dig vinyl alot.
