After being tipped off and seeing the YouTube trailer for Matthew Chojnacki’s Put the Needle on the Record, very excited to grab a copy and think it’d also be an awesome gift for any vinyl music lover. I already recognize some of the album covers in our shop and can’t wait to read some of the additional commentary.

Check out the site for more information on how to order »

Amazon Description:
In the 1980s, music defined the moment: “Video Killed the Radio Star” ushered in MTV, “Don’t You (Forget about Me)” ruled The Breakfast Club, and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” became the anthem of a generation. The 1980s were also the most visually provocative era of the last millennium. Every new vinyl single hit the stands wrapped in eye-catching sleeves that reflected the latest trends.

Put the Needle on the Record is pop culture historian Matthew Chojnacki’s definitive guide to 7- and 12-inch vinyl single artwork from the ’80s. He presents and compares more than 250 vinyl single covers, representing nearly every prominent musician of the decade. Read the previously untold stories behind the 1980s’ most iconic images from the designers and visual talent behind Madonna, Prince, Adam Ant, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Clash, Pet Shop Boys, Kate Bush, and more.

Coupled with exclusive commentary from more than 100 of the ’80s biggest musicians, including Annie Lennox, Duran Duran, Run-DMC, Gary Numan, The B-52’s, Erasure, OMD, Scorpions, The Knack, and Yoko Ono, this is an authoritative journey back to the songs and images that continue to influence our culture.

Contains a foreword by Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters and an afterword by Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran.

Who doesn’t like a little play in their day? Vinyl Tap by andBoom (currently only $2 bucks) can turn your iPad into an old record turntable player. While in its infancy, the app interface and graphics are very promising with realistic crackle effect and attention to converting album art to the way the vinyl record version would look.

The linear-tracking Technics-inspired DJ turntable can detect the tracks using an infrared sensor. You may select from 33PRM, 45PRM, grab the tone arm and drop it anywhere on the record surface, change the color of the platter strobe to suit your mood, or music tempo.

Vinyl Lover fully endorses Vinyl Tap in its effort to bridge the gap between new tech and old tech. You will be stunned by the beauty of this app!

Vinyl Lover was first introduced to the Vinyl Recorder T-560 at SXSW Interactive this last March in Austin, Texas. Vinyl aficionados can buy the T-560 starter kit, straight from Germany, to convert their own music to vinyl format for a few euros.

Although, indie artists or small labels may decide to use the service of Tangible Formats to produce either Lathe Cut (for limited quantities) or Pressed Vinyl (100+ LP record orders).

Scissor Sisters return with their fourth album ‘Magic Hour’ on 28th May.

It’s a sweet joyful mélange of beat-driven future-pop. It’s a sweet joyful mélange of beat-driven future-pop. It style-hops all over the place unabashedly, 
says Jake Shears of ‘Magic Hour’.

For the new album, the band have been working a diverse list of new collaborators, such as Calvin Harris, Pharrell Williams, Diplo, Alex Rihda [BoysNoize] and Azealia Banks. The album was recorded over the past year in New York and London. ‘Only The Horses’ was co-produced with Calvin Harris. The band’s relationship with Calvin started when Jake Shears was working with him on material for Kylie Minogue’s Aphrodite album. “When we wrote ‘Horses’, I immediately knew that he’d help knock it out of the park,’ says Jake.
