Vinylmania.

As I'm writing, French-German TV channel Arte is broadcasting a documentary titled "Vinylmania", by Paolo Campana. The director travelled many countries, and met a lof ot interesting actors of the vinyl renaissance. He interviewed crazy collectors, musicians, producers, designers, music addicts...

It's impressive to acknowledge the various profiles of vinyl lovers : some are not so careful with their records, preferring collecting to selecting, others are pure ayatollah of the order.

I don't think one should be envious of so many crates and boxes... the essence of it should be to collect and to select at the same time. Just like you can't really listen to the 100 000 mp3 files you store on your hard drive, you can't really listen to 100 000 vinyls.
Nonetheless, this kind of initiative (the movie) is very welcome, and I enjoyed the tone of the film, never arrogant or pretentious, but rather educational. 

There will be various reruns of the show, but it's already possible to watch it on the Arte website.
