We still have a record player, and I use it quite often.

Hipsterdom has slowly invaded the rif-raf quarter where I have lived for half of my life so I even go through the sale-box in the street of the many records shops sometimes.

The reason the musicians make LPs are a bit more serious. As the internet has destroyed the music market, especially for small acts. I wanted to buy this Copenhagen Blues band's new album, but it was only on sale as LP or CD!
