who know how to use a turntable as old people who can't. It's gotten much more common here lately among the younger set.

back when records were a primary entertainment, record care was little more than a finger used to remove the dust ball from the needle. Records were disposable, and record stores were easy to find.
stores had listening stations to check out the new product before buying , an unthinkable situation today. record have lasted, but how they are viewed have radically changed.
...Although not too particularly significant, all of his records are new purchases, none used. He has mentioned another wormhole to go down and that is an RCM.

I recently set up a table at a community Record Sale, sponsored by a local public Library. A few weeks later I spent some time browsing (and buying) in a local record store.
Know what I saw at both ?
Lots of young people ! I was among the oldest participants at both venues. Young people exploring music, willing to take a chance on something unfamiliar if the price was cheap enough, or looking for back catalog titles from their favorite artists, or looking for collectable variations and limited releases.
Is it a continuation of the trend, and will it die out, or is there a new generation of vinyl listeners out there starting to become as fervent as we are ?
Record collecting has many years left, and there are not enough pressing plants to keep up.
Enjoyable cartoon, but no longer true. Many young people are now collecting vinyl, buying turntables and playing records. Still a great medium!
but I have heck of a lot of old records.
:)
I have no doubt where I put my records.
'cause if you're not you will be after that.
You have equal parts admiration and... dread... from here.

not uncommon. I had to sign a release before the shock, but Atrial fibrillation is not uncommon either. It's fantastic that they have a radical quick procedure that works and is 90% effective. After that, there are less radical procedures that are long term solutions. I am only 78 by the way, so I hope these procedures will let me thin out my collection further.Meanwhile, I do go through the record collection each morning to thin out records that I will no longer put on the turntable. I will sell some, but I have already donated 800 records to a local record store with more on the way. The owner told me to pick something out, but, for once don't want any more LPs. My current collection is like going through a record store, since I have no idea what's in the boxes. Just last week I uncovered some good jazz in the boxes:

i'm there with you Bill. i have about 2500 from my "collection" of ~6k that I acquired over the DECADES. i moved in 2017 and still about half are in boxes yet to be discovered again (that's also a great title in the Sheffield Labs catalog).
CDs too, but I have been burning them onto a NAS so I can play them from my phone in the car. MANY still in boxes.

Part of the recent SAG-AFTRA strike settlement.
Every film/TV broadcast must now have a scene with a character dropping a needle
on a record (NO auto drop allowed, MUST be manual) to help set tone of character
and scene and advance the story wordlessly.
Thusly all SAG-AFTRA members must now register for a class and pass a course on
proper record handling and needle dropping and receive a California On Screen
Record Handler Card.
Each such card holder earns a stipend for the scene with fees from
the COSRHC training process going to help support butter fingers that
repeatedly fail the course.

while driving a manual transmission in the Alaska snow. Of course that was a real wheel drive car too.
Remember the old Ford green dot Cruise-O-Matic? It had two "Drive" positions, one of which had the transmission start in second gear instead of first. Worked great in poor traction.
I drove for a courier company, had that job for seven years, including the worst winter on record here in Pittsburgh. Automatic with FWD was the ticket in snow, but I never got stuck anywhere even with the manual transmission cars. Was always more concerned about going downhill than up.
Pretty far OT for a LP forum, but oh well.

And I find it amusing when I collect my car from the dealer's, after a service, that I'm the one who has to drive it out from its parking place ... as the dealership people can't drive a manual! :-))
