Sure, you wanna call shellac records "shellacs" or polysterene records "polysterenes"? Or do you want to call them records? If you have records that go back to 1928, you'd better not call them vinyls, since they certainly weren't made from vinyl. I know some younger folks (it's a very new thing, by the way, last ten years or so) call records "vinyls" and you are apparently one of them. I guess I don't give a shit, you can lead a horse to water, and all that, but people who know better will laugh when you call records "vinyls."
Shit, Velvet Underground was a band of druggie hippies, not punk. Don't get me wrong, I actually like their first two LPs (and not much else), despite the fact that Lou Reed is an insufferable asshole.
Thread hijacked, I guess, but I'm still waiting for VZ's reply. Surprised nobody's called me out for pontificating, too. I guess I'll just say I should know what I'm talking about.
