I guess I'm just failing to understand the brevity of your usage of the word "HATE" here, which is a pretty strong word in and of itself, and you even used it three times!
So are you expecting "brick & mortar" record stores to sell digital downloads, too? Because some of them already do this via their websites. I love vinyl but I also love the ease and convenience of digital copies of albums. I got the new Oblivians LP on vinyl but still have yet to set up my turntable to play it, so I used the download code it came with to load the songs on my iPod where I can enjoy it in my car. I still love to go "record shopping" and I think that's the point of Record Store Day, to remind people that records (including CDs and even cassettes) are still out there and available for purchase at unique and individualized stores that are fun to explore and shop at. And the fact that you can do this while also hearing some local bands bash out their noise is an added bonus. I really don't have any complaints, but then again I suppose everyone's gotta have *something* to complain about...
