Vinyl appreciation has been on the rise for a while now. Thanks to factors like sound quality, full-size album art and general nostalgia, 33s and 45s don't seem to be going the way of contemporaries like 8-track, cassette, minidisk, and soon to be CD.

[Kid Koala](http://kidkoala.com/?ref=protein.xyz), like most DJs with at least a little talent and history, is a longtime lover of vinyl. He's sharing his appreciation through a new release. "The packaging for the first run of Kid Koala's [12 bit Blues](http://ninjatune.net/release/kid-koala/12-bit-blues?ref=protein.xyz) album on CD and 2LP will include a cardboard hand powered record player kit! It also includes a mini flexi disc record that can be played on the kit."

The DIY gramophone certainly won't rattle your walls, but we appreciate Koala's embracing [digital downtime](http://www.prote.in/feed/2011/09/slow-tech?ref=protein.xyz).
