thebes Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Granted the vinyl revival is starting to wane a bit, was at a Barnes and Noble a few days ago and their record section has shrunk by two-thirds. Now some of this is nothing new but there is this outfit called Uncommon Goods and they are now taking old record and turning them into things like drink coasters and can openers! Problem is, one man's cast-off is another man's treasure and who knows how many musical rarities are being slaughtered in pursuit of goofy gadgets. Here's a link to their record themed offerings: https://www.uncommongoods.com/search?q=records 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoryGillmore Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Give a man a record, he can listen to it till it wears out. Give a man a bowl made from a record, and he can eat cereal for the rest of his days. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was heating one to take a warp out one afternoon and a friend walked in the door. Asked what I was doing. I said I was taking a warp out if this Asbury Park…. As I showed him he grabbed it and wadded it up. Now it’s art….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
