New Records

So, in light of moving into my new apartment in less than a week - Yes, I am moving in less than a week, and I couldn't be more excited! - I went to a record store in Rochester yesterday called Skeletone. It's amazing! It's huge, and the whole upstairs is reserved for pricier records that include new and rare vinyls, while the basement is filled with dollar records. The basement is where I spent most of my time (over 2 1/2 hours, to be exact.) I had to eventually leave because my eyes were straining from looking at the thousands of records. Anyways, I ended up with four great albums that I am really excited to play, the first being ELO's "Out Of the Blue", which was a great find. This album has some of my favorites, including "Sweet Talking Woman", "Mr. Blue Sky", and "Turn to Stone". The others include The Who's greatest hits, Suzanne Vega's self titled album, and Huey Lewis and The News's "Sports". I am particularly excited about the Huey Lewis album because "Sports" is hands down one of my favorite albums by them. The Suzanne Vega album is a replacement of one I have that got warped from being left near a hot window for a long time over the summer. 

The last album is a remixed picture disc vinyl of Lady Gaga which was gifted to me for Christmas by my friend Zach. I have yet to listen to it, but it should be amazing. I plan to return to that record store with a lot more cash in my wallet so I can get a lot more dollar records as well as a few upstairs that I am dying to get, including a rare brand new original copy of Nirvana's "Nevermind" and a mint copy of "Purple Rain" by Prince. At the same time, there was an etched copy of "Paradise Theater" by Styx downstairs that I wish I had hid better because I would love to have it.
