Vinyl-y: Recent Episodes
Annika Young
You know how you hear a song, or an album and it has that magic on it, that thing that teleports you back. It’s the soundtrack of your life, if you think about it. I’m a Bicentennial baby. I grew up listening to records. Those records turned to tapes and tapes to CD’s. Now we just stream it all. But I have to say, I am a bit Vinyl-y. I am part of a sub-culture of audiophiles who evolve with the times but every now and then the occasion calls for wax. You ever wanted to talk to your favorite artist and ask them about the albums they love and why? Yeah, me too. I’m Annika Young.
