Five Song Friday: Collecting Albums

by Caitlin on May 24, 2013

If you follow me on twitter and/or instagram (which you should), you probably already know this but I am the proud owner of a brand spankin new Crosley record player and boy am I excited. I’ve wanted a record player for years and when Crosley record players popped up on Fab. I didn’t hesitate. I brought my new record player to Maine last weekend and not only did it start a dance party in the kitchen but it prompted my dad to gift me with a number of albums from his personal collection. My dad’s generous donation (including two classic Stones albums) combined with a trip to Bull Moose was the perfect jump start for my album collection.

here are five albums I consider essential, collection must haves

hosting Harris: how to spend a weekend in Burlington

May 22, 2013
