Vanessa Carlton, what’s in your record collection?
« on: July 25, 2011, 07:35:55 am »

http://www.thevinyldistrict.com/storefront/2011/07/vanessa-carlton-whats-in-your-record-collection/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vanessa-carlton-whats-in-your-record-collection

We’re delighted to have the wonderfully talented Vanessa Carlton join us this week for our new feature’s inauguration and thrilled she’s invited us over for a rummage through her (and her folks’) LPs.

Vanessa’s brand new release Rabbits on the Run hits store shelves tomorrow (7/26) and later this week we’ll have an opportunity for you to get your hands one. On vinyl of course.

For now, TVD is Vanessa’s:

“My parents had a solid record collection. I’m proud that they kept it intact even though all of my friend’s parents were buying cassette tapes. They taught me the ritual that is placing a needle on the black satin circles. I thought it was magic.

We had a narrow closet off the kitchen that held only records and a record player. I spent a lot of time on the floor in front of that closet picking through and studying the lyrcis and artwork. When I was eight I solely chose records based on what the records looked like. I still do that sometimes.

Crosby Stills & Nash—the one with the three of them sitting on a couch outside a house on the cover. . . self-titled, I think. I love this record. When I was young I think I thought it sounded like the sun. Golden. The harmonies were mesmerizing and I thought the Marakesh song was well, weird.”

No... I think they're like... giving away a vinyl or something. SHe said that the signed vinyl would be released on release day, and they never changed that, or confirmed it wasn't happening. Plus, she has the vinyls at home... so they had better be released tonight! lol

I've been refreshing just to see if the site changes or something. And I still see no change. Did they say anything about the vinyl? I didn't see lol.

paranoia sucks. and so does patience.
