I wanted to help fund the project to help ensure that Jeanie can be on my panel at SXSW 🙂
The first record I ever bought was “Beauty and the Beat” by The Go-Go’s, though I’m sure my parents actually paid for it.
The last vinyl record I bought was an album by The Recoys. The band had already broken up and the members had gone on to form more commercially successful bands like The Walkmen and The French Kicks, but they did a reunion show in 2003 and released an album called “The Rekoys” which pulled together songs from an EP and other songs they had never released. At the time, they ONLY sold it on vinyl. I didn’t even have a record player at the time, so I had to go buy one before I could listen to it.
The last CD I bought was the self-titled album by Broken Bells. I got it after several of my friends said it was one of their favorite new albums of the year. I don’t like to buy digital downloads because I like having the physical media (even though I live in small apartment, and physical media is kind of taking over all of my space!)
