We {heart} the visual feast provided by old vinyl records...
the rare and collectible ones digged out in second-hand shops or the family's dusty treasures found in the garage, the funky disco 70's ones and the cheesy 80's ones.. As much as I love my iPod, it is so nice to step back in time sometimes, gently placing the needle and listening to that crackling sound.
For ideas on how to bring music and visual arts even closer together and turn album covers into a DIY project, see here:
