Hmm...I believe it. I know Steve Albini sort of took an anti-Digital stance. I believe Shellac's "At Action Park" and Big Black's "Songs About Fucking" both were intended for Vinyl release.

Slint's "Spiderland" may also have gotten the Vinyl treatment.

I noticed from way back that you were a fan of Death From Above 1979 (right? or was that someone else?). I believe "You're A Woman, I'm A Machine" was intended for vinyl or at least given vinyl treatment as well.


Outside of Indie I've seen vinyl pressings for metal bands like Eyehategod, Mastodon, and even Bongzilla I think...not sure though.

So yeah, you're right. Indie and metal.
