so you did end up ordering the vinyl? i remember a few weeks back that you were debating whether to get it. i'm looking forward to the vinyl myself. i recently procured my turntable back from the ex residence and have been on a vinyl kick the past couple of weeks. i have enjoyed it so much that i have started buying records again, mostly some old classics and a bunch of releases from the past couple of years. theres just something about the vinyl experience that i can't convey with words but it's special. having the full size fleet foxes album for example...artwork blows away the little cd version and the sound seems warmer, more immediate, etc.. did you go with the autographed one chrome? btw, whats your opinion on sk's recent vocals compared to past efforts? i find it at a higher level but then again, maybe thats just me
