there is a theory that intelligent people reproduce less, while the lower side of the intelligence range reproduce like rabbits.

If anyone had said 10 years ago, even 5 years ago, that this would happen they'd have been laughed at.

I don't know how much they're actually selling, mind, or if this well be over by next summer, but to me it seems logical that vinyl will be around longer than CDs, because a good vinyl release offers more of an "experience" than a CD can - if only cos of the size of the sleeve.

The artwork is what s definitely going to keep vinyl afloat. Have you seen the type of art on some of these things? They can give some of the best artists who use adobe illustrator religiously a run for their money and they can inspire them to do better.

The value of the sounds you can find on vinyl is definitely good too. How often can you walk out of a record store spending less than 20 dollars, chop up drums and bing able to put many "urban" sound libraries to shame.
