    I knew he was into punk. I've seen a bunch of pictures of him with punk icons and wearing band shirts. He just designed a killer poster for Off! ,one of my favorite bands. This was installment was definitely an echo chamber for me.

    Sharing this vid with my 16 year old, The Clash is her all time favorite band. We visited Hollywood a couple months ago and walked into Amoeba with her grandma in tow. My dear retired librarian mom was absolutely overwhelmed in there and wanted to leave asap haha. Have to admit we were overwhelmed with the selection too and of course I didn't have our list of must-have records on me so we didn't know where to start. In a rush I grabbed Blitzen Trapper's Furr and Andrew Bird's Echolocations: River. Needless to say, wish we'd had a lot more time in there. Mom put the pressure on bc she knew we'd be there hours if she didn't. Hope we get to return someday.

    His points about the vinyl experience are so great, and I'd add that it really helps/forces you to listen to something as an album, and not in chunks or on shuffle - you're listening to it as the artist intended by how they sequenced it. I also remember as a kid finding so much great music and discovering I loved an artist because I would buy a CD based on one song I liked. It really is the ultimate music lover's experience!
