Celebremos el Día de la Tienda de Discos

10 audiolibros llenos de música que honran el formato del pasado
With the rise (and rise) of digital culture, the glory days of analog can feel like the stuff of nostalgia. But vinyl has managed to infiltrate its way back into global prominence with increasing American sales, worthy classic reissues, and a spot in nearly every “cool” retail store. Crate diggers and music collectors rejoice! Record Store Day celebrates the formidable LP where melomaniacs will gather on April 21, 2018 to consume and appreciate the art of wax and the independent music stores that house them.

In this 10-book playlist, we celebrate the LP through the stories of these featured authors who convey their own appreciation for the tangible format. Rolling Stone editor Rob Sheffield beguilingly declares that “love is a mix tape” via a series of songs he pieced together with his late wife; spoken word poet Amena Brown heals from her troubled past through spinning wax in How to Fix a Broken Record; and novelist Rachel Joyce captures the magic that happens when vinyl-philes unite inside a shanty record shop. Tweet me @IsabelaRaygoza and sound off on your favorite music-informed audiobook. Happy listening! --Isabela R.
