Vinyl Lives On

YES! Vinyl is still going strong and is actually been on a steady increase for the last decade and especially these last few years as CD sales plummet. There's about a dozen legit vinyl manufacturing companies still around in the US and they've all doing well. I'm looking forward to talking to these guys and wish them much success! In the meantime watch another good video about how records are made. They only talk briefly about the process but it's still amazing to watch...if you ever get the chance to actually see it in person, DO IT!! I've only visited one plant so far but will visit more when I'm in those areas. If you have any questions about the record making process, feel free to ask me. Or, better yet, ask them!

If you live in the Cleveland area they'll even show you their plant!! Gotta Groove Records

record keeps spinning....again.

45 King on HandyTrax

Had to share this...it's a video of Mark The 45 King KILLING a breaks set on a pair of Vestax HandyTrax portables and a stack of 45s.

Record Ratchet

I only posted this because it has records in it. As a DIY project it's fine but I think it's silly as a designer piece of furniture. I do like the concept using soft materials to make something strong and I like the idea of using what's around you to build something. However, Harry Hasson's ratchet furniture is just another example of why this concept just doesn't work 99% of the time.
