Well there you go.  365 days of vinyl COMPLETE!  I guess I would like to thank all the people who have encouraged me and all the interesting and phenomenal artists out there who made music.  I had a great access to records thanks to my roommates and also from store hoping all over the place, from the East Coast to the West Coast.  The thing I enjoyed about this was discovering a lot of new music and also finally being able to discover a whole new world of music -- vinyl records.  I will not give up listening and purchasing vinyl records, but I probably won't post as much.  

365 days - I made it.  So here I bring to you Nirvana's Unplugged in New York, one of my FAVORITE RECORDS OF ALL TIME!  This is a record that I can listen to over and over and over no matter what, when and where.  This is the record that has stripped down and changed the way I felt about live music (I was born in the 80's and my musical knowledge basically started in the late 80's).  Anyway, enjoy this masterpiece as I will always continue to enjoy it, for the rest of my life.  I also want to thank the ones who are near and  dear to me.  This has been such an amazing year.  Now it's time to go hide for about a week until I decide to display my top 12 records  from this past year.

Enjoy!

The Best

I don't even know where to start with this post, considering it is my favorite record of all time.  I guess I can go back to when I first heard it.  It was a little later after the album was released that I got a hold of In Utero, Nirvana's third and FINAL studio album.  I remember being very fascinated with the artwork on the cover and the back of the CD (yes, I first heard this on a CD) because it displayed a bunch of fetuses and a pregnant transparent anatomical mannequin.  When listening to it for the first time, I immediately had to give it a second go because I was floored at what I was listening to.  I went along with the lyrics the second time and instantly fell in love.  There is something about the way Kurt Cobain's voice flows with each lyric and the way it all goes together.  It's a masterpiece and to be labeled the group that forever changed the face of music was a heavy weight on his shoulders.  With Nevermind being their breakthrough album, you can really tell how much pain and anguish was put into this album and the realness of how he really felt his life was.  This album is perfect.  Absolutely perfect.

Enjoy!
