And your ears shall hear…

The ‘Kid needs to get back  to talking about the great purchases he made, while perusing the Reckless’ cut out bins recently.  But first something really cool, brought to you by Jack White.  In this video there is a factoid that states: “97% off all high school aged kids have never been to a stand alone record store.”  Looks like Jack White might be bringing that record store to you.  That would be great for those kids that have never been.  One of the most exciting pastimes of mine was walking around the local record store, and talking to the people who worked there.  We would all cram in the same car, or walk to the ones that were close enough.  Even going in when I had no money to buy anything,  just to look through the new stock of albums, and plan out my purchases for the coming month.  Sliding out the vinyl to see if it was colored, and hoping for printed lyrics.  Morrissey and The Smiths went as far as etching quotes into the inner ring of the record, adding another bonus to browsing.

It appears that Mr. White has also invented the Triple Decker Record.  What a swell idea this is too.  Vinyl is not just fun to listen to, but I always loved holding the covers and staring at the inserts.  So, this new invention would give you something new to do while listening to that record.

How does a man do so much, with so little time!?  I’m envious; why am I still not playing with records and defining music?  Oh well, enjoy…and if you see this rolling store, tweet me!
