I am in love....


... with my new record player.

I bought my mom a record player for Christmas this year. I never grew up with a record player and I have never owned a record in my life (if you don't count the Chipmucks Christmas vinyl I had).

So I ordered a record player from Amazon last week. It is a Crosley Mini and I love it. It is small and folds up for easy storage. It has built in speakers but it can also be hooked to additional speakers which I have done.

So far the only record I own is "For Emma, forever ago" by Bon Iver. I am waiting for Otis Redding and Taj Mahaj to come in the mail.
I am so excited to shop and search for new and old records and build an amazing collection.



In a world where everything is digital, it is nice to take a step back and appreciate where music started. I enjoy holding a record/cover in my hand and admire the album art in person and not on a computer screen.

  1. 1. I love that album 2. I have a record player and haven't hooked it up yet, now I have the bug 3. I agree it is so nice to step away from the digital world occasionally, I still like to use my film cameras!
