Vinyl Art Contest

Last fall, Hippie Sounds met Daniel Edlen of Vinyl Art and his awesome work creating hauntingly good likenesses of music artists onto their albums. He’s throwing a contest on his blog this month, looking for how music impacted your life - good or bad. You have until February 29th to share!

All hail the Magic Bus

I have been trying to find one of these bad boys for years to cart around my crazy brood.  In a sea of boring SUVs and mommi-vans, my VW bus would stand out as the last fist in the air, crying out “POWAH to the PEOPLE!”  Now to find one that is still running…
Have one?  […]

Vinyl Art Video

I don’t know if you remember when I posted about the fellow Daniel Edlen and his website Vinyl Art; if not you can see the post right here. Anyhow he sent me an email a while back saying that he made some videos of his artwork in process. I like them; they’re pretty slick and […]

Friday Fun! (or the really depressing Friday night post)

Theoretically this made Friday fun time by exactly one minute — it’s 11:59 (west coast time). Technically however it’ll likely be Saturday when I post. But I figure I need some fun and “Friday fun” flows better than “Saturday fun.”
Since I work at home and unschool my son I try to get the bulk of […]

John and Yoko and New York in the 70s

If you happen to live in New York (or close wnough for a weekend trip) I’d hit up the Steven Kasher Gallery. Their current exhibition is Allan Tannenbaum: John and Yoko and New York in the 70s. The show runs October 4 through November 3.
Why see it: It’s well known that Tannenbaum is […]

The Best Holes in Compact Discs Ever

Most of you know I like vinyl, not CDs. Recently I saw something so cool with CDs that I figured I’d show it here. I thought they were way amusing and to be honest a much better use of the little discs.

The HELP!!! one is my favorite. Aren’t these the best.
From iamboredr.com; if you happen […]

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 […]

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.
There are MORE! Take a look.  My favorite is Revolver.
I’m convinced the creator of these is a flipping genius. I’m not […]

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 […]
