It's a foolproof plan, the industry can't possibly miss it, wedged between the "Favorite "D" artists of the '60s" and "Songs With-Kiss-Kissed-Kissing In The Title" threads.

Well now that all the homeless are sheltered, all the sick are receiving affordable medical care and the hungry now have adequate food supplies, we can finally move on to something truly important such as this.

Didn’t Audio Fidelity try its hand at a record player with a cheap Crosley knockoff on which Marsha just put the AF logo on?

REUTERS - 11th AUG 2020 MAN ON INTERNET SAVES VINYL "I like to think of myself as Brian Wilson - I'm not a genius, just a hardworking vinyl lover"
It started in early February with devastation - a fire in California rendering a vital part of the vinyl supply chain extinct, the skills and machinery gone forever. News spread as quickly as the fire. No one in the music industry knew what to do, and to fans of the smooth-sounding reissues of James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, or Bill Wyman's first solo album, it soon became clear that the man upstairs had no concern for something that did nothing for the bottom line, and it was left to the brave and plucky devotees of the format many thought was once again forever extinct to sound the alarm. A vinyl collector known only as '56GoldTop' was the key broker in arranging a get-together of the cream of audiophiles. By kindly and generously donating at least 45 minutes of his time diligently checking his inbox at an online forum run by a hobbyist cutting engineer with no known skills or contacts in the music industry. Despite claims to the contrary, neither had contacts to reach out to, or any working knowledge of the process, or any free cash to do anything about it. The situation looked dire, and those creamy analogue puddings served on platters of pure black gold looked to be a thing of the past. However, word spread to people who had the resource to do remedy the situation. The desperate cries for help in saving a format very few cared about translated into laughter. And through that laughter came a realisation. The realisation that NO ONE FUCKING CARES ABOUT THIS SHIT. Even greater, the realisation that cutting vinyl using DMM, just to spite the same high-handed pricks and pretend industry insiders, was reward enough. Since moving to DMM cutting, vinyl sales have trebled globally, and at least three hundred people (including known perverts in Tennessee and local deer parks) have expired from being all too furious, resulting in the collapse of the last remaining active message board.

Don't let the "dancing in the street" DMM lovers win.

And to think how stupid we were, shtitng on LPs for all those years for having to endure the noisy copies, bad pressings, and the inevitable snap crackle and pop after only a handful of plays - no matter how anal you were about caring for them. Had we only know what a miraculous time that was, and how close we were to having it back in our grasp, only to watch that dream go up in smoke.
Fuck me with a wadded up rice paper sleeve.

This "crisis" is so on-brand for vinyl.

Imagine if someone over there suggested that they should only cut new albums on vinyl and stop reissuing 50-year-old shit that you can find at the swap meet.

I’d be down with some rotary phones, now.
Still, I consider myself at least a grade 3 vinyl nerd but I just can’t get worked up over this no matter how hard I try.
