No I agree, it is. But it isn't that black and white. I just have to deal with this arbitrary line nonsense at work all the time and it's rarely that simple

Not all of it, the entrance is in England

I thought he got his Visa from the ATF / Government Scheme but the VIctoria Government called BS on that when he landed. Only after the Victoria Gvt stopped him at the border did the PM intervene I might be wrong but that was definitely the way a couple of news reports I heard on the radio played it.

You are the only person I've ever encountered called Amsterdam, I'm calling that bullshit

There's no real topic for this already, I see it as a companion topic for the Map thread I come across interesting or amusing stats and graphs all the time This one was bound to happen but it amuses me all the same

Did you know this car is fitted weith a Peter Kay bullshit detector and an ejector seat?

They polled people about opening records? Do they want to buy a bridge?

How many times does it need to be said that the vaccine does not prevent you getting the virus

And back to Laurel Canyon. I've posted it before, I'll post it again. One of my absolute favourite albums. Love - Forever Changes This is a CD copy but I have it on vinyl too

Lush - Split. Their second full length album. A Promo CD. I only know its a Promo because of a sticker on the back from Cliff @ 4AD telling me when it's released and the best tracks to play off it

There's a free Sony one on Gumtree in Bromsgrove right now Contact Sharron

I was watching a lot of stuff about Laurel Canyon over Christmas so unusually for me, I've now stuck the band you grow out of by 25 on (because this was written when Morrison was living in Laurel Canyon) The Doors - Strange Days

That isn't why they are bought. Some idiots buy them as investments I'd love to know where they get the 40% never played figure from that just screams plucked out of the air at random, there is really no way of knowing that

Yep CDs values are strange, couple of quid or Wow, how much, why? I've got some reggae ones that I'm convinced I bought from Geoff Davies (Probe Plus record label owner) because he had a few of them and was a bit skint and some of those are in the £25-£30 range

Should be fixed now

@mjmooneywas only 34 when RIchard Wilson observed him for the method

It isn't. 5 million new vinyl records were sold last year in the UK (and that will be underestimated as the Indie Sector is never reported accurately). An 8% rise on the previous year and the 14th consecutive year on year rise. Thats just the UK The vinyl revival has gone way past niche, not only that but it's the driving force in the sector, the vinyl sales and attention push the sales in the other formats

Herr Farago appears to be complaining about another country controlling it's borders Grifter, grifting away as usual

They were under appreciated at the time and I guess they still are

So why are 57% of new vinyl sales to young people as evidence above in a subsequent post by the very poster you quoted It is absolutely not what you are saying, it's far more complex than simple statements of this is dead, thats dying out, this will takeover, that isn't happening any more. And as it has been since the 50s it is the younger generations that consume the most music product and sales in the sector are growing. Different formats suit different people. Vinyl sales are actually artificially low right now, there are so few pressing plants left, they have a backlog and you have to book your pressing slots nearly a year in advance. CDs have a much higher profit margin than vinyl but it is vinyl that is pushing the sales. People are still buying downloads for certain markets, it's the only place you can get the product. CDs are the only alternative for people that want physical product. A friend released an album on CD just before Xmas, it's beautifully packaged in a book, its taken them ages to get that out because of the pandemic and the vinyl is still many months away, the CD is the only option for some. Another friend is in a band, they sell their home made CDs at their gigs, it's how they make money. It isn't a case of any of the formats dying, they are just finding their levels

Wheatabix IN the sugar, what kind of perversion went on so that it even got there?

There'll be a ghost in his house (the coat's already on)

The young are definitely buying vinyl, you only have to walk into a record shop to see that
