Swanky People Have Record Players

Even though I'm not that old, I resisted buying CDs when they first came out and kept buying vinyl--until they were no longer available for most new releases.

So, everytime I drive past any of the few, remaining "record" stores in Southern California, I have to stop and "flip through" the store isles. I can't be the only one here who still loves that feeling of your fingers flipping through records at a used, record store and getting excited if you discover a good find!

On the subject of vinyl nostalgia, did anyone else use the album jackets as wall art? Tiny CD or cassette covers can't even compete with the large, 12-inch vinyl jackets for sheer size--for those who appreciate album-cover art.

Records are still cool with me, but I also love digital music and my iPod!
