Lewis Hamilton | What does it mean to be motivated? For me it means choosing to push myself to be better in all things. In our work, in creativity, in life overall. Motivation means taking care of ourselves, training both mind and body, and working toward progress no matter how small it may seem. I’m no stranger to tough days. When they come, it feels impossible to push on. That negativity isn’t real, it’s all in the mind and I know you have it in you to overcome it.

Sevgili Günlük

Sevmek ve sevilmeyi bu denli isterken elbet de bunların yokluğuyla imtihan olacağımı biliyorum ama istemekten de alıkoyamıyorum kendimi.. yokluğunu boy aynasında izliyorum her gün.. Eksik yanlarımı çoğaltıyorum günbegün.. İçimdeki eksik parçalardan koca boşluklar oyuyorum; bir gün kara bir delik olup yutabilsin diye beni.. İnsan kendi elleriyle oluşturduğu boşluklardan kurtulabilir mi?

50% of vinyl buyers in the US don’t own a record player, data shows - Music Business Worldwide

Luminate survey reveals surprising stat about what happens to format after it's purchased in world'

[..] Perhaps the most discussed driver behind vinyl’s rise in music biz circles, though, is the so-called “superfan”.

In a 2020 interview with The Times of London, Rob Crutchley of the UK music trade industry group BPI [167 articles]">BPI said “superfans” were powering a “buy-to-own rather than buy-to-listen” trend.

“A proportion of people are buying vinyl because they’re a superfan, so even if they don’t actually have a turntable they’re still keen to support the artist and have the artifact itself,” he said.

“Sometimes it can be because they’re catalog titles that are being re-pressed in a new edition — maybe a run on a different colored vinyl — other times it might be a new title that has a limited press on a certain format.

”In its 2023 report, Luminate defines superfans as “music listeners who spend above average (median) time AND money on music, actively discover new music, participate in music-related activities on social media, and plan on attending a live music event in the next 12 months.

”Three core behaviors set these ‘superfans’ apart from others, Luminate found:

First, they engage in social signaling (i.e., they want people around them to know about their passion for a particular genre or artist);

Secondly, they view music as an expression of their identity;

Thirdly, they engage in a community centered around music.

All of which suggests that the music industry could make serious money off of superfans’ love for vinyl in the coming years – regardless of whether or not they end up playing the format on a turntable.
