New Directions B/W A Chronological Account of My Record Collection

leave a comment »

Due to boredom, and the fact that my friend recently started blogging again, I decided to update the look, style and name of my blog once again. I don’t have a lot to blog about at the moment per-se, but I hope to post more than just poetry in the future.

So I will post something I have been meaning to post for a while now, A Chronological Account of My Record Collection…

Some of my records, particularly the first couple of 7″s I got, I have had for 10 years; but I didn’t start to really collect records until 2005. Because I am a nerd and I love High Fidelity, I was inspired very early on to keep my records in a chronoligical order, hence the title. Also I have a little note binder with this list in it and that title on the title page. Anyway, here is the list, with occasional notes about certain records. This list will be updated as my collection expands.

  1. Various Artists – 20 Giant Hits (I bought this for the Jimi Hendrix song on it, Red House)
  2. Beach Boys Delux Set LP (Side 5/6) (I bought this at Good Will, because it was the only one of the set, and it had good songs. and it was a dollar. I didn’t even have my own record player until  the next record in the list, circa 2006, before then I just used my parents)
