HD greedsters - it ain't rock'n'roll old chum

Mirrors - next to be banned?

An excellent set of arguments for only buying s/h vinyl (and indeed s/h components) given that it's already too late to do anything about the CO2 output + raw materials consumption involved. As for new vinyl - I'm aware that some of the artists involved record digitally (others are determinedly AAA), but like to persuade (kid?) myself that my allotment + the raised beds in my garden at least offset the carbon footprint involved. And nowadays I limit myself to s/h vinyl for anything non-"current" - unless it's never been on vinyl before (recent e.g. - Home by Terry Hall). We all have to live with our own hypocrisies and weaknesses, eh? Collecting LPs and listening to them (in an unheated listening room while wearing an extra layer) would seem to be one of the less harmful ones in the current Developed Western (sic.) scheme of things...
