Look, I’m not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don’t care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn’t want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They’d rather buy lottery tickets.

        I’m a small vinyl collector (not the kind with a wall full of ancient albums, but if I really like an album or want to support a smaller artist I’ll buy their vinyl). It’s mostly the first and last points for me. I used to be (and still kind of am) an audiophile type but I can’t really tell the difference between vinyl and streaming from Spotify, so the quality argument is out the window for me. But being able to listen to multiple albums without touch the volume knob is great, and I love going through album artwork, reading anecdotes from the artist, etc. One of my favorite vinyls is a sort of concept album that tells the story of a man who threw his life away to the sea only to be “reborn” a new man, and the album artwork inside the vinyl is absolutely phenomenal. (Deep Blue by Parkway Drive for the curious)
