For love of vinyl: Local collectors say there’s something special about listening to records. Fort Walton Beach resident Kyle Hock isn’t old enough to have spun a vinyl in their heyday of the 1970s. Yet, in high school he was inspired to start buying records when he saw his friend’s collection.
Johnny Marr covers Depeche Mode for Record Store Day: “[The song] kind of sounded like it suited my band really. I’m guessing we got some of it wrong, in doing it our own way. But that’s a good thing I think, when you tackle someone else’s song…You have to respect it in the first place to like it.”
