I'll take this opportunity to relate an incident that happened this Christmas just gone too: Last year I went to HMV in the new year to get my copy of The Bends, by Radiohead on vinyl, and found a um, consideration... or er, a procrastination (Don't know if there's a proper collective noun for the species) of middle aged men gathered around the 2 meter section of vinyl racking there, and watched with wonder as they gathered armfuls of vinyl at a time... laying out hundreds of pounds a go for their booty. Vinyl is well and truly on the way back! (thinks I, with glee). This Christmas, I went back toget some prezzies, and ended up getting something for myself (Love: Forever Changes White Vinyl), but things have moved on even in one year... As that small rack of vinyl now occupies on entire row of media, and the entire back wall is covered with 12" chart vinyl art loveliness! But more remarkable, is that other than the middle aged geezers blowingtheir pension pots, there was a group of teenage girls in school uniform gatheredaround the racks, which, in spite of my surprise at even this fact, I expected to see grabbing One Direction and such.... but no.... Led. Zeppelin! Overhearing the conversation, one girl remarked to the other: "I've already got this one, and X has zep 2... what I want is a turquoise lettered zep 1" There really is something happening under the surface of things here... which even the media haven't fully appreciated the scale and depth of yet... a movement, maybe even a cultural revolution is cooking. Rejoice therefore.
