Prompted by a question about technology obsolescence in one of his courses, Jon puts some thought to how a vinyl record shop could succeed<\/a>. He grudgingly comes to the conclusion that the market for vinyl is bleak. Sadly, I have to agree. I’ve prided myself on being ‘strictly digital’ for many years now, but I still have love for turntablism<\/a>, not that newfangled CD turntable<\/a> stuff. I remember seeing Biz Markie<\/a> spinning at a party several months ago and remarking that I never saw him bend over to grab a new record. Then I realized that he was spinning CDs. I felt cheated somehow. In fact, I suspected that he was just playing prerecorded mixes from CDs and was playing ‘air turntable\/mixer’. (I know, I’m just a cynical MF.) Anyway, back to the point… I hope that at the very least club\/party DJs will continue to use vinyl records, but I fear that won’t last much longer.
