Some how I missed this post and I am such a fan of creative deconstruction! I have commented on some other blogs about digital consumption vs physical. I have a large vinyl and CD/DVD-A/SACD collection, but went to mostly digital consumption a number of years ago.

BUT I have broken out my vinyl and CDs again because I missed the Ritual aspects of truly sitting down and listening and interacting with the physical thing. (And Vinyl sounds well – better)

Digital consumption is here to stay and it is not going anywhere. But there will continue to be a swing toward vinyl (never what it once was) and maybe a true HD audio product (someday?) because of the need for Ritual, for tactile interaction (beyond the ipad) etc.

True. Every artist needs to do their homework to figure out who their fans are and what they want.

this is a nice little write up especially in light of how successful the Record Store Day 2010 turned out to be

but something to be noted is that music culture (especially within the indie/hipster aesthetic) is just as big of an indicator as straight sales statistics…there is currently a cultural movement towards vinyl in particular…record collecting and listening to music on vinyl has swung back into being ‘cool’ whereas it had fallen out of popularity at the start of the 00′s

so while its a good look to cater to this growing interest in nostalgic physical releases…it is not a guaranteed trend to be capitalized on… especially because of the cost of printing and pressing vinyl
