Huh? Yeah they are. Just take a look through
some 'modern' music on
cdnow.com... Lots of hip-hop and techno is released this way. Some DJs
prefer to use vinyl, because it sounds better, and (IMHO) is just more fun
to handle than these little optical digital pieces of trash :). I've
purchased a fair amount of vinyl (modern) music from cdnow.
Oh Shoot, I forgot about the whole DJ/HipHop/twin-turntable scratching
thing. I guess they have to get records somewhere, although, I suppose
there DJ needles don't ruin records as fast as what an audiophile would use.
