Vinyl Junkies Help Rescue Music
In the age of the iTunes Music Store and iPods, why should we even care about vinyl records? In fact, many kids under 20 haven't even seen a turntable before. The truth is there's a lot of music that doesn't exist in digital form or even on CD.The people who collect records don't just buy music, they rescue it from obscurity. These vinyl junkies go 'elbow deep' into discount bins and scour garage sales for rare record finds. It may be unintentional on their part, but their efforts to spin the black circle are keeping discontinued recordings from becoming extinct.
Guardian reporter Dorian Lynskey delves into the dusty underground world of the 'vinyl diggers.'

there are so many rare recordings on vinyl and they should be saved. DJs like DJ Shadow love these rare record finds and work samples from them into their modern music.

Great post!
In the same thread, vinyl is back and a small group of us in Boise, Idaho are doing our part to get the word out and help organize social groups for communal listening and friendship.
We're a little under one year old but already have over 100 members and thanks to a recent Associated Press article (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080711/ap_en_mu/vinyl_revival) we're getting requests from people all over the US and Canada who want to start their own local chapters of VPS.
