Everyone in America knows this historical reading of our legend of the “First Thanksgiving.” We find a connection to the past every fall when we gorge ourselves on the same foods the Pilgrims had in plenty during their feast nearly 400 years ago.

An ode to vinyl

By Kelsey McArdle · Wednesday, Nov. 18,2009 2:56 p.m.

I stopped buying CDs about two years ago. Ever since, it has taken genuine consideration and something very special to make me even think about dropping the cash for one. New music is so accessible anymore that it just feels like a chore to shop for it. Now, don’t get me wrong – I’m all for supporting the bands who make the music we love. Buy their music, collect their merchandise, give them gas money when they’re in the middle of touring and have to drive to Florida by tomorrow afternoon.  It’s just that I have found a new love – the sweet sound of spinning vinyl.
