Vinyl ABC's...

To start, I'd like to apologize for the lack of post yesterday, I wasn't feeling very well. Hopefully, today's post will make up for it. While I'm not a vinyl collector, I would love to become one. For some reason, records seem to hold more sentimental value than their CD counterparts. They're valuable, they're collectible, and they're beautiful. If I were to become a collector, here's some of the records I would definitely purchase. 

Vinyl ABC's (with the exception of 'o,' 'p,' 'q,' 'u,' & 'z'):

In other news, NPR has posted a wonderful audio interview with Green Day front-man, Billie Joe Armstrong. It is definitely different, and more informative than most other interviews I've read. In the interview, Armstrong discusses topics ranging from the 'American Idiot' musical, to the death of his father, to meeting his wife, Adrienne. Check it out here:
