Vinyl Never Dies.
I'm in lust with this ad campaign for FNAC. I've no idea what FNAC actually is, nor is the copy large enough to actually read it but hey... this idea from Spanish ad agency Kitchen is brilliance. As for vinyl, I've had my own rule for about 6 months or so: No new music unless it's digital or vinyl. I am (at some undetermined point in the future) going to be ridding myself of the big piles of CDs that clutter my life. It seems impossible to chuck all my CDs, but I am going to attempt to liberate as many as possible from the dust bunnies of my living room corner. For so long now I've held onto CDs I haven't listened to in 10 years as some sort of nostalgia trip. It's just simply not necessary anymore...
Buy some: Momus, Saint Etienne

FNAC is a chain of shops like Virgin or HMV that sells CDs and tickets, in France, might also be in other places in Europe, but not over here in the UK.

Ahhh good old FNAC, I was a young lad of 17, just moved to the street of Paris from the Garden State New Jersey, and FNAC was the place to go for vinyl. This was 1978 and I still have a bunch of LPs in that thin light weight grade European sleeve paper. It was an essential stop though for young Americans going through the throws of culture shock.

Ah, FNAC. It was one of my first stops every time I was in Paris to check out what was going on in French music. This was before you could buy just about everything on the interwebs. A brillian ad campaign this is.
