vinyl

I went with my friend to Urban Outfitters a few days ago.
It was boxing week, I know...I am brave.
Anyways, I don't really like Urban Outfitters.
They DO have nice clothes, but everything is always so overpriced.
I figured that since we were going during boxing week (we actually went right on boxing day) then everything would be cheaper.
The farthest they went was $10 off.

Every time I saw something I liked, I knew that everytime I wore it, I would feel some sort of pain.
Then, I saw the vinyl rack.
Noone else was even close to it (what a shock), but I thought I'd take a look.
There were a lot of re-issues, but it was ostly full of new bands that are cool (not sarcastic) for putting their albums on vinyl.
A lot of these bands do it because they were either inspired by the records they heard as kids, or they like the sound of records (because it actually is the best sound).

In the end I bought the debut album from the band Girls (actually two guys, one who was born into a cult, great band), called Album.
Yes, they called their first album, Album.
They really are a great band.
Check them out.

In fact, the record just stopped.
Good timing.

SPIN and REM

January Spin is out!!!!!!!!!!
It's an amazing issue.
Seems like the list of Top 40 Albums of the Year was taken right out of my CD collection.

Band of the Year: Kings of Leon

Too many good things to list here....check their website if you're broke or are "going green."

P.S. Last night I realized that R.E.M songs are somewhat interchangeable. Of course, they are very different, but since they have the same sound, it fucks you up.
I started humming Orange Crush, but by the time I got to the chorus, I was singing It's The End Of The World As We Know It. By the time you get to the bridge, you're onto Eloctrolite, and once the song is nearing end, you're singing the outro to E-Bow The Letter.
