So, new #NIN out today. Very exciting.
I like to have physical copies of music for reasons - mostly album art.
NIN store is only selling physical records, not CDs. Because Trent Reznor is a vinyl fetishist. Which is fine.
But I'm not. I would genuinely prefer it in CD format.
But I bought the record, because I love NIN, and I wanted the art.
TBQH, though, he could sell music on a wax cylinder and I'd still buy it.
Like, a piano roll would be in my shopping cart.

@Modern_Industrial Do they at least include a digital download code with the vinyl? I actually like buying music on vinyl, but will often go with CDs instead because I can make a copy -- can't do that with vinyl (not in a way that actually sounds good, at least, given the equipment I have available to me).

@ink_slinger They do - you get a DL link on the day of release and your choice of a few formats. Otherwise it would be 100% no bueno.

@Modern_Industrial That's good, at least. And you don't even have to wait to get a little slip of paper with a code in the record sleeve, from the sound of it, which is always nice.
Modern Industrial
@ink_slinger Exactly. I'm just a little bummed that now I have to care for a fragile record when I, you know, dont have a collection.
On a couple of previous albums, it was just downloads with "physical elements" like interactive art. It was honestly delightful, and I'd love to see more of that.
