Not a record but Sonic Youth just posted a bunch of dead stock tour posters on the band store.

Ugh, I had tickets to see them at the Ogden show that they have a poster for from 09, but I had to go to Brazil for a work trip and missed it. If it wasn't the most boring poster on there I'd be tempted by it, lol.

That’s a bummer. I only saw em once, They played Daydream Nation in its entirety at Pitchfork Music Fest, It was amazing show. Yeah, I would have preferred one of the 3 Chicago posters but none of those were too interesting aesthetically unfortunately. There a few cool looking ones still there; though I get why they had dead stock of several of these as they were kinda blah.

This appears preferable.

Sonic Youth is great. One of the best bands I’ve ever seen live.

Vinyl Sales Plummet by 33% in 2024 After A Decade of Rapid Growth

Is the vinyl comeback losing steam?

with insane vinyl prices people are being priced out especially on new vinyl a lot of times with mediocre quality control.

It’s become a lot easier not to buy albums.

Obviously percentages are not their strong point. Maybe they address it later but they are using 2024 numbers and there is still 1/4 of the year left to go.

Yeah, I’d like to see a total consumer dollar spent. I’d bet last year and this year are remarkably similar.

 

[Nee Lewman]

My assumption they are comparing the same dates for both years, but it was also a thought I had.

I don’t think they are that wrong. I know a lot of collectors are not buying near what they used too. I know I’m not. I also at one point was subscribed to three record clubs, that number is almost down to zero.

Not disagreeing at all, just saying if you are going to toss around numbers like this article you need to explain where they come from and what they are measuring.

I know I am buying less. With trade-ins, my collection will have shrunk slightly by the end of the year. I feel that I am finding better selections of used items than I was was even a couple of years ago.

One store owner online said he'd been sold a number of collections by newer buyers who started collections during COVID. Post COVID, they now go out and spend that cash elsewhere. If you buy into that idea, it's likely there's a percentage lost from those types of recent/new buyers, while the core collectors are buying 1 $50 album vs 2 $ 25 records due to cost hikes.

I have more disposable income than during COVID (student loans paid off, wife got a better job, etc.), but I also buy less vinyl because I'm originally a CD kid and have no aversion to digital, and I can often pick up 3-4 new albums in FLAC via Bandcamp for the price of one record, so I've decided to just pick up records when the deal's good or it's a personal favorite.

Also spending less on vinyl. I am working on intentional spending and I am also getting more into scuba so money is going towards diving stuff and trips lately.
