just so you know, i’m in total ryan adams fanboy mode right now. the new album came out yesterday, i’m about to watch him perform on letterman, and i have ordered vinyl versions of records i already have. i even entered a record company contest where i had to find videos, and the thing was, i had seen all of them before. today i finally got the orange vinyl version of Easy Tiger that i had ordered a month ago. i was so excited to get it, so i decided today to take some pictures. i grabbed my new camera and took the record out of its sleeve. soon after taking this picture, i dropped BOTH. (i’m an IDIOT!) in the split second i had to choose between the new vinyl record i had just gotten and my camera i had gotten right before Christmas. the vinyl dropped and hit the floor (after glancing off the roomba) and i was hoping without getting scratched. imagine my horror when i picked it up to see marks on the vinyl! i immediately cleaned any dirt off and played it. luckily, i didn’t hear any skips so the marks are just cosmetic. the record sounds beautiful btw, and the vinyl looks great. i posted a couple of other pictures of the other record i got today, the kings of leon. today was my first time with colored vinyl, and both are super cool, but i’m not going to be trying to take fancy pictures anymore. i’ll put them on my couch and photograph them without having to worry about dropping them.
