Jack White gets it

Hello Friends,

Do you get goosebumps when you hear the snap, crackle, popping sound when the needle hits the record?  Does listening to vinyl transport you to a Zen-like state and affect you in a way that digital music cannot?  Do you feel the "thrill of the hunt" in record stores, thrift stores, flea markets and garage sales?  

Here's a great Jack White quote regarding record stores and music, in general:

"I think its high time the mentors, big brothers, big sisters, parents, guardians and neighborhood ne'er do wells, start taking younger people that look up to them to a real record store and show them what an important part of life music really is.  I trust no one who hasn't time for music.  What a shame to leave a child, or worse, a generation ophaned from one of life's great beauties."

Here at Vinyl in the Valley, we couldn't agree more!

Also, here's a great article/interview with Mr. White regarding the artistic merit and nostalgic value of listening to records.

Thanks Jack White!  Now put away your I-Pods, buy some records and stare at the liner notes and every inch of those beautiful album covers while and let the snap, crackle & pop of the music do the rest!
