The Vintage Newbie
My name is Vernon Smith and I started collecting records back in 1988, when I was a 14 year old punk rock skater boy. I continued to do so until 2005 when, being from New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina came and wiped out all my albums. When that happened, I said to myself: "Vernon Smith, you can't rebuild your record collection at age 30, that would be ridiculous!"
Well here I am at age 48, rebuilding my record collection. Ridiculous, right gang?!
Join me every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as I go through the albums I've re-collected so far and tell wild and zany stories that center around those bands and albums. I'll discuss why they're vital (Vityl, get it?! GET IT?!) to my new collection and even talk a little about the New Orleans punk rock scene of the 1990's. Crack open a bottle of Fruitopia, heat up some Bagel-Bites, and get ready to...♫ solve a mystery, or rewrite history, duck tales, woo-hoo ♫...well, maybe not that last part. Sorry.
