Blatant nepotism is never pretty but I had to bring you up to speed on a great band from my home state and valley – Medford, Oregon. Let’s hear it for hippies and old people! This week’s spotlight is on Ron Hogan and his musical leanings towards the Dead. Though their MySpace […]

The Top Ten 60s & 70s Vinyl Albums for Island Life

Sometimes I think I take these lists too seriously. I just keep thinking now how much it would honestly suck to be marooned on a desert island with just 10 albums.
I started with a list of oh, right around 50 or so albums brewing in my mind and had to whittle that down to 10.
It […]

Vinyl Art!

I got an email a while back from this cool guy who told me that he creates vinyl art. Of course I was intrigued and checked it out and he wasn’t wrong; vinyl art he does surely create. Amazing art. I meant to post it here sooner and in fact already blogged about it at […]

Album Cover of the Week

This week…

When I was a kid this one of my favorite covers — maybe I thought it was sort of rebel since they were naked. I don’t know for sure but it’s a great cover and a nice album.
Released in 1973, it’s a fairly rare vinyl, depending on who you ask. I’m lucky that I […]

Beatles Vinyl Covers: Lego Style

You may have seen these floating around the web. I hadn’t until recently but I’m mesmerized.  

The only thing missing is Paul’s cigarette (and his bare feet) — and I don’t think Lego makes those.

Where to Hunt for Vinyl Albums

If you already collect vinyl albums you likely know what kind of shopper you are.

You like the hunt as much as finding the album and won’t do it the easy way.
You don’t care either way about the hunt for vinyl albums, you just love records and will get them however you can.
You like the hunt […]

Do Vinyl Collectors Attract Crazies?

Seemingly so. I’ll let you determine if I mean crazy people or crazy vinyl.
People find out that I’m a vinyl collector and give me, what else, vinyl!
I don’t believe in turning down a box of records because frankly, you just never know what kind of hidden gem may be in that box. But […]
