Your dad collected vinyl before you did and he’s got the first pressings to prove it. He was a curator of analog beats that has dropped a needle on everything from AC/DC to Zappa. The volume knob on his stereo didn’t go up to 11, it went up to natural disaster. And, when he blasted the Sex Pistols a 7.0 musical-magnitude Anarchy-in-the-UK-earthquake shook the foundations of everyone on his block. He had a 12 inch for every occasion and knew exactly which ones would make your mom’s body rock.
So hipsters, when you’re dick-thumbing your way through garage sale tunes or picking up your favorite band’s new release on vinyl because digital “doesn’t have the same soul”, remember this…
Your dad wouldn’t taint his record player with what you consider music because his player’s needle only touches greatness.
Thanks to Josh for today’s awesome photo.
Sorry hipsters, your dad was the original hipster and he was killing it back in the day.
