Comment probably a bad idea to collect vinyl (Score 2) 140
Benn Jordan ended up setting up a little experiment, and vinyl is a rather nasty thing to have in your house. It out gasses continuously throughout its life, and a single record on a turntable has a detectable affect on the air quality. You also shouldn't throw them away into a landfill, and you can't recycle them.
This saddens me because I have about 50 LPs from small artists because I thought it was cool to have something physical and to support the bands I like. I'll enjoy the ones I have, but I probably won't be taking them out and playing them my small library nor will I be buying any more of them.
Maybe I'll get a sticker or small poster or something if I feel the need for baubles, bric-a-brac, gewgaws, or objets d'art.
