Vinyl spins back into fashion
Katherine Feeney
Baby boomers will remember record stores as a sexy fusion of hot music product and even hotter people watching.
Their children, Generation Xers and Ys, regarded record stores with Empire Records-esque nostalgia, even as they shopped for CDs at music megastores.
But despite the digital nativeness implied by the iGen tagging of today's teens, some music retailers reckon record stores are still beloved by the young.
Add to that enduring support of the not-so-young and older music lovers and the record store story is more revival than survival.
Brisbane is no exception. Several new independent record stores have opened in recent years, even as the category-killing might of major chains grows.

Tom Petty’s Stolen Guitars Found
Five guitars belonging to Tom Petty were recovered yesterday. The vintage guitars had been reported missing Friday, when they were taken from the Culver City, Calif. soundstage where the band was rehearsing for its upcoming tour. The Los Angeles Times reported that Daryl Emmette Washington, 51, of Los Angeles has now been arrested in connection with the robbery. Washington had worked as a private security guard at the Culver Studios complex. Police Chief Don Pedersen said the break in the case came when the suspect pawned one of the guitars at a Hollywood pawnshop for $250.
“Mr. Petty would have joined us, but he’s preparing for a concert in Denver,” said Pedersen, who described the stolen guitars as collectively worth $100,000.
Petty took to his Facebook page Tuesday evening to say "I am extremely grateful to the Culver City Police Department for a job well done and touched by the outpouring of good wishes and concern from our fans and friends."
