I just always thought collecting was the cool thing to do. About four years ago I started going to the record store across my college that sells vinyl, so they usually had a lot of the albums I wanted (plus the fact that most come with a download code or a CD version packaged). So I started buying all my music if they had it in vinyl and even went back and purchased some stuff I didn't even have. I think the first album I bought on vinyl was Dig Lazarus Dig!!! by Nick Cave because they didn't have the CD of it.
