The Great Southern Brainfart has posted a new interview with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY vocalist/bassist Mike Dean. An excerpt follows:

Q: The physical medium of music has changed so drastically but it seems like people are starting to gravitate back towards that classic vinyl format again which I’m loving. How do you feel about this shift back to an old school way of enjoying music?

A: "Music has been kind of miniaturized like everything else along with the technology. If I want to listen to music with decent reproduction, I’m almost better off going to the thrift store and digging up some 1975 stereo equipment that still works rather than find something brand new that plays data compressed MP3 files that are just miniaturized sounding. They’re just completely compressed and people listen to them on ear buds and actually listen through the shitty little speaker on their cellphones. I do see signs of hope in that you see a resurgence of vinyl, people want something that they can hold in their hands."
