On Tuesday, January 25th, our Vinyl Revival class had it's first full day.  We kicked off the day and watched the film Vinyl by director Alan Zweig.  In this film, Zweig interviews several serious record collectors, and focuses more on their obsession with collecting records, rather than their love of music.  Many quirky, yet serious collectors are interviewed, and the students were quite intrigued!  

After our previous meeting, the students were asked to bring in album of their choice, and present it to the class.  They all brought in a variety of albums, genres, and artists on either vinyl, cd, or mp3 format.  Some of their favorites included Beirut, Leftover Crack, Betty Davis, The Judy's, Talking Heads, Nick Drake, R.E.M., The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the Rolling Stones.  That's quite a riff raff of bands!  Here are some pictures form their experience.  Dig the old portable turntable (which belongs to the school library from the 60's)!
