Vinyl Therapy: Elvis Lives!

A sweet stash of Elvis swag from a local estate sale:

7 inch singles, a couple of albums and a Las Vegas Elvis mirror.

Vinyl Therapy: Blondie, Depeche Mode, Lady Gaga, Stars

2014 saw Blondie release Greatest Hits Redux / Ghosts Of Download:

This double album is a multi-level treat for Blondie fans.

Re-recorded classics, an excellent album of new songs and rich graphics.

The 2009 re-issue of Depeche Mode's A Broken Frame, 

which boasts one of my favorite album cover images ever.

The 2009 re-issue of Depeche Mode's Some Great Reward, 

which was the first DM album I really got into (lyrically and sonically).

The 2008 debut LP The Fame by Lady Gaga, which was a fantastic 

surprise from a former student. HUGE thanks to Tom Geannakakes for this one.

The poptastic 2014 release No One Is Lost by Stars.

This is a band that always leaves me guessing what they'll do next.

I appreciate that in a band as much as I appreciate a great vinyl package.
