[kj] Vinyl

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I guess this depends on what kind of music you're interested in. I have 
zero interest in rave and couldn't tell you a thing about it. Mostly I 
like hardcore/punk and pretty much any band worth its salt in that genre 
makes releases on vinyl; for ex. Austin punk label Hardcore Holocaust: 
http://www.hardcoreholocaust.com -- or Prank records: 
http://www.prankrecords.com, just two among many I can think of. The 
older labels like Dischord and Touch & Go, which have moved away from 
punk, also still release in vinyl, and always have.
