A great point that wasn't mentioned is that you know own the music. If Spotify and Apple music etc all goes down tomorrow and will never come back, you still have your trusty coloured discs of good music to come back too, forever
whats more likely to happen is music streaming platforms will start doing excusive band or song deals. ware you'll need 20 different subs just you listen to all your music. just like how the movie and tv streaming is right now.
Nice timing as today I bought Bitches Brew on record after owning it for more than twenty years as a CD. Technically it was the Complete Bitches Brew Sessions, but that’s neither here nor there. One of the best recent records I got was desert dream by desert sand feels warm at night. This was a quadruple LP issued by Geometric Lullaby, housed in a canvas box and each record is in its own jacket. There was a lot of attention to detail, such as side numbers done in Arabic numerals, Chinese numerals and even Egyptian hieratic. Oh and I’m steadily working on getting my own music pressed as a record. And let’s just say I want to put some of my own attention to detail into it 😁
Damn, dude. I'm from the other side of the planet, but I'm so delighted with your editing, presentation and the energy you put into your videos. People like you inspire me to dive deeper into producing my own videos. A simple human thank you!🙏
love these videos, the way you “direct” them is so sick it’s like a whole couple tiers above every other video essay 10 years ahead of the game over here
I collect records (& some CD's) for all the points you make + owning it helps me secure the music for as long as it's playable & intact. One of my, if not, coolest looking records is Cattle Decapitation's "Anthropocene Extinction" Trash Explosion variant. Great record, sick cover & vinyl colorway.
I've always hated vinyl records, even when I was a kid, that is why I tried to make a tape recorder in the fourth grade, I didn't succeed obviously, but at least I tried! The ticks, and pops, plus surface noise, and the eccentricity of vinyl records drove me (when I had enough money), to purchase a used teak A1500U, reel-to-reel tape recorder, but I could easily still hear the difference between "source and tape", the dreaded tape hiss. In 1978 as an engineering consultant for the "Great American Sound Co., I traveled to Japan to visit GAS dealers and the Tokyo Electronics Show. In the Sony booth at that show, I saw for the first time, a model PCM-1, 12-bit digital processor playing music from the video track displaying thousands of black and white, undulating bits on the monitor, from the same SL-8200 Beta max VCR I had at home, I had to own one of these! In 1983 I attended an AES meeting featuring Marshall Buck who was presenting his new "coaxial two-way" loudspeaker he had designed for Cerwin-Vega! In his demonstration he was utilizing a "vocal-only" recording of a female singer that sounded fantastic with an incredible "dynamic range" and no background hiss. Immediately after Marshall's demonstration, I walked up and asked him what equipment was playing back his recording of this singer? He pointed to this diminutive silver box, and said I'm using a Sony PCM-F1, 16-bit Digital Audio Processor and a VCR. I said how much for the PCM-F1. He said $1,500.00, and I said sold! I built a portable recording rig that included the PCM-F1 and other custom-made equipment that I utilized for various musical performance recordings made on location and I won an Emmy for an outdoor performance of the opera Faust!

My wife asked the same question. First, I think the article said 50% of people that have bought a vinyl record do not own a record player. Did they ask them why? Maybe some were buying them for others? Makes you wonder. Also, vinyl records by themselves are artistic. The cover, the gate-fold, even the records these days in all different colors, is art. We buy paintings without needing a vinyl record player, we buy collector plates with art on it, none of them can even be played on a record player. Can the record be enjoyed for just its artistic qualities without needing to be played?
You might enjoy Throwing Snow's Dragon album with variant covers. -- Also, please invest in some sort of record cleaning. The dreadful crackling sound at the end of your video is what most people associate with vinyl, and it does not need to exist. Just clean your records. Wet - Vacuum - Ultrasonic. Doesn't matter, just clean it.
I like the process of playing music off a physical record. I work as a wildland firefighter in the summers and I work sometimes 150 hours in 2 weeks so being able to do something simple and not on any screen to listen to music I like, in a way that’s relaxing is something I really enjoy.
I was at a large electronics shop today and I saw Weezer's Blue Album and Nirvana's In Utero and it is really sad to see how some albums were not meant to have such large covers. Nirvana's In Utero, however, was also re-mastered to some "deluxe edition" which had the covered upgraded but still it sucks to never know if you get the actual good covers (especially if buying online)
I buy a lot of new music from Europe on vinyl. The EU subsidizes their vinyl industry to ensure new and current music comes out on vinyl. I guess when you have lived through 2 world wars on your own home land that zeroed out all technology, you realize that an internet connection will not always exist . The only thing that survives is physical music & art.
Good video! I think new vinyl collectors do buy it for the art etc. But I think some are waiting to get a (decent) turntable too. Back in the day I was buying CDs a couple years before I had a cd player. btw save your hype stickers 😊
Let's goo Jake! And the answer is.... there just neat. From the crazy art they can have, to the story of acquiring it, some are interactive, and some are just odd. Either way, physical media is making a comeback, its an underground thought but I've see it firsthand by many others. It's just overall a better experience. Vinyl's just rule.-Spinelli
Vinyl cannot participate in the loudness war by design. Music that was mastered for vinyl sounds nicer, because it's not compressed to hell and back. I often search for vinyl rips of songs. And now there's auto-leveling on the playback almost everywhere, so the loudness war is not even needed anymore. I hope musicians start having mastering done only for vinyl to save cost and distribute that master to all platforms. It would be better for everyone.
4:03 then clean it off also replace that stylus pls that cantilever is soo bent (no hate on jake, i luv his vids, i just want his records to live a happy life)
Honestly I just started collecting after inheriting my grandparents and a couple of uncles record collections so a lot of old ass country and blues, and wwwwaaayyy too much punk and glamrock. At first it was just Linkin Park anniversary collections, now im importing Nujabes shit from Japan, trying to find J Dilla stuff, and subscibed to VinylPost.
Watch out for new pressings. RSD was an expensive miss this year. Stay far away from GZ Media/Memphis . When it’s good, it’s great. The art looks back at you. I don’t have a dac, so don’t know what I don’t know. Everything else is renting.
“Grab that album, your favorite album on vinyl.”
I would if a good pressing wasn’t fucking $400 lol
Me w selected ambient works II
@@lachlan277 HOWD YOU GUESS
And sometimes you legit can't! My favorite album of all time wasn't released on vinyl till 2021
@@benhlogs lmao i want the good sounding pressing of it so bad the price sucks
buy cd then
You are only 'renting music' when streaming. You actually own music with physical media and corporations can't control your content

Until someone mishandles them. Fragile, bulky toxic media forever!!11 amirite?
Holy shit I just got jump scared by you using my song in the background lol
Edit: Killer video dude
what song is it?
Vinyl is such a nice way to show off music taste, i couldn’t imagine my room without all the albums in it

Why is this question so popular? I've been buying and collecting since 1968. It sounds better and you own a physical product.

I'm one of "those people" who collected before you were born. I also paid $15 for a turntable and picked up another for $4 just to play 78s.
There's no science to it. It's pretentiousness + social media.
Love this video man. You made me want to go out and get more vinyl!

i don’t collect vynil but i collect antique edison records, also they are 2-20 dollars mostly so they are pretty easy to get
We used to get those once in a while. We even had wax cylinders, with the canisters they can in.
@@dEadnAstyrEcords i’ve got a bunch of wax cylinders
I buy vinyl to play on a Linn Sondek LP12.....mmm Lovely!

your visuals are getting so damn good
you deserve more love
because they're frikin awesome
i have 3 albums and no player cause i got 2 rarer albums signed and im a broke student who isnt in a rush to buy a record player
I get jealous of that By the Time I Get to Phoenix vinyl all over again every time I see it
I buy a lot of new music from Europe on vinyl.

A good day when A Bucket of Jake drops
I love that you’re playing Pigeonometry by Aesop Rock in the background! 🔥
i do it so my favorite albums cant be ripped from me like they can on streaming services
the kind of question i would rather ask about CDs
Albums are musical history for one and second it has nothing to do with convenience it’s the SOUND reproduction that you can only get with records

So so underrated
Vinyl just sounds better
Like totally
If you want an answer, it’s because I’m 14 and have no rent, or car payments yet so I can and bc I love music😛
Misplaced nostalgia. Insufferable hipsterdom. Gross misunderstanding of format capabilities. Take your pick.
Streaming sucks!!!!!!! Rent rent rent
. Don't get me wrong if i want to be lazy i will stream but it just doesn't compare to a record
I lasted a little less than three minutes. Your fake 'hipster' persona is extremely tiresome.
People just buy them to show off on the gram, not even listening to them. It’s weird to me.
You really do nothing with this video! It’s basically clickbait for you to talk about how you “changed clothes” & go on about obscure album covers!
