Emerging from a vinyl coma

I got into vinyl with a simple pro-ject 1.2 turntable in 1997 . I
lost touch collecting but recently this year have gotten back into
it. Unforunately I am noticing that most record stores are now closed
down.

In the late 90's some top 40 bands would releae singles and albums on
vinyl from fasthits . com . However, I don't see any current pop
artists for sale out there?

Also I have a Grado red cartridge that I bought new in 1997. Do you
think I need to replace the stylus? It probably has 1000 hours on it,
but sounds fine to me.. Almost all my collection is M/NM condition.
