"In Jesus Christ, there is no distance or separation between the medium and the message:
it is the one case where we can say that the medium and the message are fully one and the same."
Marshall McLuhan

[Live Video] Old Becomes New

In the seventeenth video of Adam Niven' s #FBLiveVideoChallenge for Media Theology Adam reflects on one of his Father's Day presents which is a vinyl record that has been carved with a Fremantle Dockers logo.

The Resurgence of Vinyl Records and the Rhythm of Life

Having been a collector of music on vinyl record for around 20 years now, it's a bit of a treat to be seeing a resurgence in its availability.

which kind of fits with McLuhan's tetrad concept of retrieval...where a previously obsolesced medium is brought back in a new way...

And whilst it's not a pure retrieval sense, because there's not a new medium that is retrieving the vinyl, perhaps it is a growing awareness in some of the ways the rapidly shifting media ecology is having unwanted impacts on our relationship with music.
