I love this. Great art and verse together. So cool. There is something to the old records. I used to be a DJ and when I was there we had most albums on cd, but we also had records and I loved whenever I had the opportunity to put them on. I still have a stack of records but unfortunately my record player broke a while back and haven't been able to afford a new one. Did come close to picking one up at a garage sale a few months back but it didn't look to healthy. Anyway. Very cool write. Thanks
