The vinyl vs. digital format debate rages on with vinyl getting a nod from the Wisconsin Vinyl Collective, a project that was put together by solo artist and the Mascot Theory’s frontman Erik Kjelland. Kjelland recruited artists having strong Wisconsin ties including one Butch Vig whose side group the Emperors of Wyoming contributed a song. The album is comprised of ten tracks of unreleased material from ten artists. While vinyl purists argue a sonic warmth that digital lacks, others argue that most vinyl releases are digitally mastered anyway. Whatever side of the argument you fall on, or whether it’s an argument at all, the Wisconsin Vinyl Collective is a welcome collaboration that does more than reward its listeners with new tunes, it provides monetary assistance to the Keep Wisconsin Warm/Cool Fund, a statewide non-profit charitable effort that steps in and keeps the heat and power on for thousands of elderly, people with disabilities, veterans and working families with young children in crisis. A portion of the proceeds from the two planned release events, along with a portion of the album’s sales at those events will go to the charity, a favorite of Kjelland’s as another of his projects, Flannel Fest, also benefits the nonprofit. In any case, the vinyl version comes with a digital download card.
