    Maybe - I have a track record for being wrong with these things.

    I predicted the craze for cycling would go the way of jogging but it didn't. I suppose if there is some hardware involved like a bike there is something more for blokes to focus on.

    Well, you can dip in and buy individual back issues from their website - and from what I read elsewhere it looks as though take up has been good. They have extended the planned number of issues to 100.

    Was watchng an episode of Amercan Restoration the other day, they were resoring an old Philco. It said that vinyl sales have been increasing year on year since 2008, in some years by as much as 50% in the US.

    I've subscribed since the start, quite happy with the quality so far.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
