Prediction: the digital age will make tangible media more expensive and valuable, but also better. People will take a second day and think about it more–do I really need to make this? Is is worth the space it’s taking up? In addition to weeding out crappy ideas, the omnipresent screen will also make nostalgia more selective. Dopejams.net is a vinyl distributor of sorts, maybe you can even call it a record label. Whatever it is, it specializes in unofficial reissues, and they are keen enough to have a little focus on the gay. The store has releases on “Gay Records,” a subsidiary, perhaps; 12″s by Arthur Russell and Sylvester; the website even has a preview stream for each track so you know what you are getting into. Record collectors, beware: you are about to spend some cash.
