Good conversation! nothing

Good conversation! nothing on the reversion to vinyl, though? As a 20-something, i've noticed among my friends there's quite a big interest music as a communal endeavor - whether with listening parties or people getting together to jam, share songs, collaborate, etc... interesting juxtaposition of localized community orientation combined with an interest in what's happening in the larger culture. And then the audiophiles who can hear the quality difference in digital music as opposed to vinyl/analog. But i suppose those are a smaller part of the larger cultural trends - and maybe only among actual musicians. I think it's really cool that there isn't such a lag time anymore between music creation and release - as long as it doesn't put too much pressure on the artist to constantly be creating, and as long as what is being created is quality. but that's a whole 'nother conversation.
