Vinyl Still Exists?
The other day I was walking around downtown San Diego and passed by this area where there used to be a record shop. It was a cool little hole-in-the wall that was frequented by the local disc jockeys and vinyl collectors. Unfortunately, it shut down about the same that Tower Records closed its doors.
Nowadays it’s hard to find a place that still sells records. For some reason I thought records were extinct, until I read Manufactured Environment’s post. I guess it makes sense to keep vinyl around since so many disc jockeys still like to spin and scratch…
And speaking of disc jockeys, here’s a resource for those of you in this industry: Disc Jockey News
Also, here’s something you hardly see – a girl DJ in action…Love it!

Thanks for the link. I wrote a couple of other posts recently about turntables and vinyl, including one with links on where to find equipment and records online. Yeah, surprisingly vinyl is not dead. There’s a steady stream of new releases on vinyl — it’s just a matter of knowing where to find them.
