Weezer - Hurley

Ah, yes. It came. In case you don't know, Weezer is my favorite band. So naturally, I was quite excited for this bad boy to show up in the mail. I mean I've had the leak for like a week now, but there's just something about having the physical copy in your hands that feels so nice. This is the Epitaph Store exclusive clear green vinyl edition, which was limited to only 1,000 copies. All the rest are on your standard, run-of-the-mill, black vinyl. I'll probably end up picking up the black one eventually as well as I am a bit of a Weezer completist. Over the course of this blog, I'll probably be posting bits and pieces from my collection for you to check out.

Conan O'Brien - And They Call Me Mad?

Hello and welcome to my new blog, entiled "They Still Make Records?" This blog will chronicle my record collecting hobby. I'm sure you're not really that interested, but hey I'm going to blog about it anyway.

So anyway, today's first entry is for the latest record which I have purchased, Conan O'Brien's spoken word single "And They Call Me Mad?" The A-Side is Conan's take on Frankenstein and the B-Side is Jack White of the White Stripes interviewing Conan. It's pretty funny stuff, but I would say the only reason to purchase this is if you happen to be a huge Conan fan and a vinyl collector such as myself. Sweet picture of Conan on the front of this thing too. It also comes in a limited edition 3 color vinyl, but I was not lucky enough to be one of the 50 random people to receive that.

Artist: Conan O'Brien
