The Sound of Vinyl Records

Samantha Holt May 31, 2017 0 Comments

Vinyl records have made a comeback with millennials as we flock to the local record stores to purchase these sleek, black disks. What is it about playing music in this fashion that draws us to keep purchasing and making LPs and EPs? Is it merely the vintage aspect of owning records, or is it something more? I argue that it is the owning of and playing records that creates a new experience of...

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been trying to complete projects or homework and instead have just gotten completely derailed by watching Vsauce and trash crusher videos.

There are two things in this world that I truly love: books, and free stuff. Any time I'm able to combine those two traits into one compact thing, I'm a happy camper.

My love for books also presents a conundrum for me: do I bring my entire library with me when I travel, or do I buy...

Netflix, Instagram, Snapchat, repeat. Does anyone else feel like they are stuck in an entertainment loop? This was me a few weeks ago. I was dying to put an end to my indefinite boredom. A girl can only creep on celebrity profiles for so long! I decided to visit my abandoned podcast app and thus, my addiction was born. Podcasts have become my go-to form of entertainment. They are great for long...
