To me, it's so easy to download music. Anyone can do it. Maybe this is just the music snob in me, but I like showing I put effort into my music interest. Having to track down and maintain vinyl definitely shows that these days. Plus, it's fun to show off to people. They can skim through my iPod, realize they don't know 90% of what's on there, and then give up. Having a vinyl collection inspires people to look through them, even if they have never heard of them. In my experience, this provokes more of a conversation. I know I have to stop and look through a collection whenever I see one. It actually softened my ass hole of a boss in my eyes a bit when he threw a party and he showed me his collection and told me how he used to get high to them.
