There is something strangely soothing about the light crackling sound of a record player's needle touching a vinyl record. It immediately gives me a sense of old school familiarity that just can't be duplicated by a computer or ipod. During the holidays, I find that dusting off vintage Prince and Donna Summer LP's is a sure fire way to generate an impromptu dance pary. Add a little scratch, open the back doors and the neighbors are sure to join in the fun.
Maybe it's the specialness of doing something different or maybe it triggers our childhood nostalgia of sitting around a record player in front of a fireplace. Either way, the vinyl revival is here and it's a way better alternative to watching my husband and brother play video games after dinner.
