You know when you go over your record-enthusiast boyfriend’s house and you’re like, “What’s the deal with all of these records? They’re so cumbersome. Don’t you have any CDs? Or mini CDs? I want chocolate! Where is your chocolate? Where are your CDs? I’m booooreeeeeeed.” I’m like that always. Well, ladies, our problems are solved!*
Ben Milne, a Scottish baker/chocolate-maker, has created a playable record made of chocolate for some band called FOUND. He did this by getting an imprint of the record and then just making it like a record would normally be made, except instead of vinyl he used chocolate. That seems easy enough? I’m sure people have done this before. Why aren’t all the records made out of chocolate yet? Let’s watch how he does it so we can do it to all of our boyfriends’ records.
We’ll probably have to make our own imprints out of wood glue though, right? That’s fine. Once he realizes what you’ve done for him — for BOTH of you — by turning all of his records into chocolate records that you can BOTH enjoy, that sound almost like real records, kind of, and that will certainly begin melting instantly, he won’t even remember those old non-edible wood glued records. And then you can eat all the chocolate records together. And you’ll both be so happy. And he’ll love you so much! And that’s when you bring up the topic of mini CDs again. (Via Laughing Squid.)

Just in time for Tay Zonday’s record deal, too!
Just like Primus.
Pssht. I knew these guys when they were on unprocessed cocoa powder.

Pretty presumptuous of this video to just assume I want to watch it and start playing. I mean, I did want to watch it because chocolate records sounds pretty cool and I like machinery, but at least let me click on it.
I know people have a sentimental attachment to records (even though they are often too young to have any nostalgic attachment), but what the fuck? Why are people making records at all? Are we going to start insisting on black and white TV’s, too?
Next thing you know, people will want to be able to export the contents of their Kindles to paper!
As long as the black and white TVs are made entirely out of chocolate, yes.
because they last longer? no joke, CDs deteriorate like crazy. records get scratched, but they still last longer than a CD. just from an archival standpoint, records are pretty awesome.
also, sound quality or something or other.
A) Sound quality
B) They are pretty
Why do people collect baseball cards or hang movie posters on their wall or any other of a million things we dumb humans do to express our interest in whatever we’re passionate about? I love the fact that I can have a million songs on a little box in my pocket and it can go anywhere with me, but I also like things to look at, I like to financially support bands and still receive a tangible item that maybe I can show to some maybe kids some day, and yadda yadda vinyl “experience” blah blah warm sound. MOST importantly, “it’s the little things that get us through life.”
Whatever. I once got a piece of glorified cellophane in a Burger King Kid’s Meal that played a song by A.L.F. on my record player. Does this guy’s delicious record play ALF? Call me when it does.
Your lack of parallelism disturbs me.
So when I get in a fight with my boyfriend, I get to eat all his favorite records out of spite?
“You’re way too good for him, anyway. Cheer up, we’ll have a girls night. I’ll come over, we’ll play some James Blunt records and then eat them.” – Girls
Yay! Now I can finally taste the music without all the pesky legal issues that LSD brings with it!
Also, I hear that Nickleback is coming out with a vanilla album…again. YA BURNT, NICKLEBACK.
Does Nickelback even make music anymore? Or do Nickelback jokes long outlive their career. Because that would be WONDERFUL.
Nope they’re still around and wildly popular in my high school. There are 10 (10!) students who wear either a Nicklback hat or a Nickelback hoodie to school every day.
Hey, better than chocolate records… let’s all share awesome music with each other over the interwebs while at work!

C’mon and get this party started, guys!
Whooops! Went and supplied a room where there already was one. Redirect yourselves to http://turntable.fm/videogum
I’ll be in there as soon as my browser decides to cooperate!
I suspect DJ Cathy will be on the ones and twos presently.
Innerpartysystem did this a few years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esw64fn1AgM
I’m just excited for the new chocolate-centric genres. Dark(Chocolate)Wave, anybody?
Once there are enough of those groups, we can give them a tribute record– “Chocolate Covered”.
Also, scottish accents kind of SOUND like chocolate (you know?), so this is a perfect combination.
