damn true. i even have difficulties with cds. even they don�t seem that
"real" to me. see, i have this object fixation: i�ve got to have something
in my hands. i just can�t relate to a thing being only a part of that big
bitsteram in my machine.

well, yeah.. carrying these milk crates full of 12 inches really is a shit
job to do. but..

damn sure, but you also lose some essential stuff: how do you scratch with a
hard disk? with a fork? everything comes simulation and knob-twitching. with
this i don�t mean to be a purist: anyone can do whatever suits her/him, but
i wouldn�t definitely go to that direction. well, at least now.. maybe when
i finally get fed up carrying tons of plastic with me..

or forget in a hlsinki taxi when drunk.. that happened to me once and i
never got the vinyls back. luckily, they weren�t any rare northern soul
seven inches witha price up to 40 pounds each. i heard a rumour though, that
mika vainio lost many sixties reggae seven inches in a taxi in barcelona.
don�t know if this is true though..

referring back to previous coment of mine, that makes sense, but i still
won�t quit using vinyl. right now i�m thinking of tryin to get second copies
of my best cuts..
and it still pisses me of like hell when there comes up a person who calls
himself a dj who plays cds full of burned mp3s or compilation cds when i
spend most of my damn money on vinyl. when someone plays unreleased - say -
net label stuf it�s damn ok. i don�t have any complaints about that. but i�d
still like to have a home vinyl press for that stuff.
for home - and work - listening mp3s are perfect stuff. no complaints about
that either. download as much as you can and piss sony, warner and metallica
off!
