If CDs are dead, then records are even dead-er, right? Not if it's up to Aleksander Kolkowski. This engineer-cum-artist is carving a new niche for our old music with his vintage record-cutting machine. The handy tool re-purposes old CDs by 'overwriting' existing data and cutting grooves on 'em so they can be played on a turntable. All you have to do is show up with a track, an old CD, and voila! Off you go with a brand "new" 45RPM single. Now if only I could find my turntables.....

This has been don for a number of years by the band Nautical Almanac. The CD contained one track of cut record, and a couple tracks of CD music if you flipped it over.
