So yesterday I went to Ocean City with my cousins, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there’s a legit record store on the boardwalk now. Since I have pretty much no willpower when it comes to not buying things I want, I got a bunch of records.
- Kate Bush- The Sensual World
- Stevie Nicks- The Wild Heart (So underrated. It’s not quite as good as Bella Donna, but how can you not love an album with Wild Heart, Stand Back, and Beauty and the Beast?)
- Bob Dylan- Blood On The Tracks
- Joni Mitchell- Blue (I was really happy to find an original copy of this and not have to pay $30 for the remastered version which is all 6 different stores I went to recently had. I might still buy the remaster once I have a job though. Side 2 of this is maybe the best side 2 of any album ever.)
- Joni Mitchell- Hejira
You’ve probably noticed that most of these records are 30+ years old, and are records I really should have already. That’s what happens when you try to start a record collection and your parents/family “aren’t really into” music and don’t have any records you can steal.

”” “Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, “III/IV” Double LP, ( unreleased and in the vault since 2006 ) fresh from the mastering plant! Also day one of demo’s went great! Have A GREAT WEEKEND yall and that’s an order. XX DRA “”
”” oh yeah, p.s. the “Blackhole” LP ( recorded over Christmas in 2005 ) is also back from the mastering plant. I f’n love this thing. It took 4 years to make it and to me it is basically Love is Hell Part 3… lots of shimmery guitar love on this. Exciting times!!! “”

more about BLACKHOLE here
I’m going to have to get a record player just for my Ryan Adams albums. First Orion, and now Blackhole and III/IV, there’s just too much awesomeness only on vinyl. (I’m sure these will come with download cards just like Orion did, but where’s the joy in that?)

Album art like this is one major reason why vinyl will always be cooler than CDs. Also a reason why Ryan Adams is awesome.
