If you guys aren't getting vinyl you're not trying at all....virtually all 
the college stations around Boston get vinyl by the truckload usually.  The 
urban/rap/hiphop genres are flooded with it, as is techno & 
electronica.   To a lesser degree you see a fair amount of ska on vinyl, 
too.  At WBRS we got more vinyl than CD's, although admittedly most of our 
new stuff comes in as CD's.   Ditto for WTBU and WMFO.

But it's definitely out there, and not all that hard to get.  Many labels 
are thrilled when you ask for vinyl - they'll send you more stuff than 
usual...good way to stock up the station's library. :-)
