I hadn't really thought about how different it is now in our kindle/ipod world, probably because a) I own neither at the mo and b) I'm not bothered now what people think. But it used to be an added bonus to want to share my vinyl purchases, taste in books, bands etc. with the anonymous public on a train, in town, wherever, in some vain hope that somebody somewhere would share it and get a little frisson from seeing someone else who also 'got it', in the flesh.
