We Buy White Albums.

This must be passion in its fullest expression. Think about it : the guy collects as many (original) copies as he can grasp of only one album : the "White" album by The Beatles. And more than that, against the mythical "mint" condition, he prefers the copies which were scribbled, sketched, customized over the years by their former owners. 

Mr. Chang is having an exhibition about his passion (obsession ?), titled "We Buy White Albums" (because, yeah, he would buy your copy) and if you live close by, you should go.  

Ramone's auction.

Obviously, nothing rare in this auction, but if you fancy owning (part of) Joey Ramone's vinyl collection, here's your chance. 

Marcos Valle and hip hop.

As bossa nova legend Marcos Valle is being reissued, it's necessary to acknowledge the footprint he left in the music industry. And in 2013, what better way of doing so than by counting the songs based on sampled Valle's songs ? 

Here is just a glimpse of that, courtesy of Light In The Attic.
