Introduction

Hi there

My name is Craig and this is my blog.. It's named after a line from one of my favorite songs by my favorite band.

My purpose in creating this blog is to sort through the large amount of vinyls that I have amassed over the past year. My fiancee bought me a record player for my birthday last year and I have gone to town. I've acquired records from her mom, my dad, a friend's parents, the flea market, the used record shop, new record shops, for Christmas, etc. I've also purchased a new turntable, speakers, and a receiver. So it's safe to say that I am invested a bit here.

I just did a quick count and came up with 190 vinyl albums that I currently own. A good amount of these records are albums that I've never even listened to. This is what happens when you get 40 or 50 at a time on occasion. So my goal is to go through my collection and review every single one of them on a scale of 0-10. I will differentiate with decimals as well. I've attempted to catalog most of my albums on rateyourmusic.com. You can check that out here.

I started college as a journalism major, although I now work as a computer programmer in San Luis Obispo, CA. I've remained interested in journalism although I've never really pursued it besides when I worked as a sports writer for the local paper in high school. I've been in a few bands, although I think that part of my life is probably done. However, my most recent band is going strong in LA. Check them out here. I live with my fiancee Shannon and dog Tobias. I've always struggled to finish projects, so here I go, embarking on a new one..bigger and badder than the rest! On to my first review...
