That goes back to the average sales argument I made. You can name the top few labels or producers and use them as examples of the status quo, but they don't represent the general direction of sales do they? The point is that those sales prove that a couple of labels are doing well.

So a bunch of scene kids are buying vinyl. As soon as the next emo goth trend rolls into town they'll be all over it and leave it behind. How long have you worked for a distributor, label or as a touring DJ or producer exactly? You seem to have an interest in proving that sales are up because it validates you as a vinyl collector. But you don't collect indie vinyls I bet, so what does Dubstep have to do with it? It's what you're buying personally. You WOULD defend your position. See, I collect vinyl as well and you'd think we share the same opinion of what is happening. But my need to be right isn't clouding my judgment here. I see the writing on the wall.

So it comes back to what the sale of vinyl has to do with you personally... aside from defending what appears to be a long held snobbish stance, nothing. Yes, what does Dubstep have to do with this. Obviously people are trying to make the argument that vinyl is strong and they are fucking kidding themselves.

I don't need to ask myself shit about my sales because I don't have anything to sell. I don't produce and I don't release records anymore. What you should be asking yourself as a person who never has released a record, is what you even know about it at all.

File sharing is at an all time high. I guess that is why LPs are selling... for all 5 of the labels in Dubstep who released one this year.
