Your post is not clear if your being serious or sarcastic. I will state what I have been saying all along, I don't believe the majority of new vinyl sales in 2009 is dance records as suggested, its mostly reissues of classic rock, jazz and classical. I have been follwing the "new" LP market for 20 years since the low point in '89 or so when everybody thought vinyl was dead for good. While there are a lot of dance releases on vinyl that are new for 2009 music, that's not where the bulk of vinyl sales come from. It's now an expensive audiophile format dominated by new release reissues of classic recordings from the latter half of the 30th century.
