New article by me: The music industry largely fails to account for collector behavior in its vinyl release strategies. I'm planning to put out a series of related articles over the next couple of months, so you may see extra vinyl content from me for a while.

Frustrated there's not more I can do directly, but for now I can just try to document reality. Elon is bringing his Twitter destruction playbook to the US government, and it's impossible to explain just how serious and bad this is.
