Record Collectors
I’ve recently taken an interest in collecting records, because I finally bought a record player. Now, unless you want to spend the money on a stereo system along with the record player, some stores sell vinyl players with speakers built in. You can also plug speakers in to give a louder sound.

The Boston hardcore band has been working on their new album for the past couple of years and it was due out October 20, but then it leaked.

Owen's new album
I hope that you find “New Leaves” to add to your collection this fall.

Finally, that song is under a record so anyone can actually find it to listen to. The former American Football vocalist Mike Kinsella is alluring with his well written, almost...
