    Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

    ive just bought a copy of Gillian Welch's -The Harrow & The Harvest so we'll see how much better her vinyl is compared to mainstream.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Vinyl may be leveling off, but it sure isn't over! I just heard the other day that some 7% of vinyl records sold are to people who don't even own record players! So, exactly how is digital copying affecting vinyl? Not that it proves anything, but it shows a lack of connection. People want to own it, to have the full album cover and sleeve art. That has not changed.

    I see absolutely no evidence that the 'vinyl boom' is over - quite the opposite in fact! But then I'm not trying to get an article published by a newspaper. I doubt they would be interested in yet another piece stating that the 'vinyl boom continues unabated'!

    I'd expect the labels to be all over vinyl since you can't make a duplicate the way you can with CD/download. That said, I'm sure they'll also completely miss the point and try and reduce their costs by compromising on quality and maximising profit by taking the pi55 with prices - there are only so many people prepared to spend £20 on an LP
