This is a cool graphic, but what exactly does it measure? How does one measure "TV" music consumption vs Cassette purchases? Also, what's the difference between "Mobile" and "Internet"? Is that streaming services vs YouTube and Soundcloud? That's like apples and marmosets to me. One does not preclude, or necessarily compete with, the other. The one thing we can all agree on is that DWRC needs to drop an 8-Track. Pronto.

Didn't the Melvins do just that, a few years ago? I remember that as being the end of my (almost) Melvins completism.
Edit: This is the release in question:

That's so solid. Still, fifteen years ago. Time for a new 8-track. What's the perfect 8-track soundtrack or score? Over the Top?

I think Tool did at some point too.

Wow. Forgive me if I'm not about to hop onto the 8-track train, but this is an interesting graphic and remains realistic enough. Vinyl's still taking up such a sad little bite out of the whole mess, I suppose. But that certainly doesn't constitute used records, now does it?
