The Stars are Dead Now - ColdWorld. Limited to 287 copies, 100 on white, 187 on black. I have only seen the black version. I really want it, but it goes for 40EUR+

I have seen some record players for about £40 which are able to be attached to PCs to create MP3s of the vinyl, although I'm not sure what the quality is like.

I have tons of records, and used to spend quite a lot on them, but I avoid them like the plague now because they just take up so much space and are just generally clunky and difficult. I suppose I might still be tempted if a really nicely packaged vinyl came out from a band I really like, but I am going to try to stick with CDs for now.

My dad actually has one of those that can rip it to MP3, but obviously id need my own as I cant be overtaking his room all the time.
Vinyl just looks really nice. I may buy some, for framing and stuff. Could also be a good inventment, since alot of the picture disks I want are pretty rare.
