Rockin' four-piece Fightstar are to release their new single, 'Deathcar', on a fancy new format: VinylDisc.

what's the point?
vinyl is dead
long live CDs and Mp3
That's quite funny.
Last time I checked CD sales were dying more every week and vinyl was in resurgence.
If "Shinji Ikari"
Is not the angstiest song ever written, then they've failed again.
What are the %vinyl sales to CD sales out of interest?
Anyone know this kind of dull statistical information that no-one but me would care about?
...
Pretention is in resurgence.
I will stick with my chosen method of "pressing J,, typing the name of the song I want to listen to, and immediately hearing that song", thanks.
That picture...
... of them. I really hate it. What's he looking at up there? Also, get some non band-branded clothing you twats. booooo!
^
it has raised a smile from me though.
i'm speechless.
...
Hydrogen?
Bad choice, motherfucker.
I think it's great
that each disc needs a rubber adapter because of the difference in vinyl/CD centre-hole size.
I think my next single (!)
is going to be released in some kind of cartridge, which is 8-track on one side, and betamax on the other.
It'd be awesome.
Oh my word.
They've got a song called Shinji Ikari.
They've.. there's.. I..
..fuck.
ARE THEY WRITING THIS MUSIC FOR ME
IS THIS 'MY' MUSIC NOW
I NEED TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A THINK
^
WANK
couldn't they
just have different size holes on each side?
Nice Bowling For Soup hoodie
though
bf
I'd almost buy this out of curiosity. I just can't see how the vinyl side of this isn't gonna be totally trashed by being played as a cd
vinyl will never die
It doesn't sound better, it can't be played in your car, but the art work is fucking great and you can share it rather than burn it.
MP3 en mass is a format and formula for people with short attention spans.
I would agree with bf, surely the vinyl end will totally fuck the CD Deck.
