Current Obsession: Records

Last year Owen and I bought a second hand record player and raided my parent's house for their old records. Lately we've decided to start our own collection (eventually I may even give most of my parent's records back to them!).


My favourite time to listen to records is while I'm cooking and the ones that get the most rotation at the moment are:
  • Elephant by the White Stripes
  • Teaser and the Firecat by Cat Stevens
  • The Simon and Garfunkle Collection
  • Harvest by Neil Young

It's a different experience listening to records instead of playing everything through the computer, not being able to skip songs and needing to turn the record over every now and then is a bit of a change! There are definitely some types of music that sound great on vinyl, but I think others wouldn't work so well. I'm happy to experiment and see which ones do!

  1. I have a theory that someday soon, corded phones are going to be cool the way records are now.

  2. I think you may be right, and that's coming from someone who already wants an old-style dial phone too!
