I'm quite a keen Record collector, and have been meaning to do some kind of blog about them on here for quite a while but never really knew how to actually go about it. Well this week on instagram i came across a Record a Day challenge for February where you basically post a different record each day that meet a specific criteria. As its nearly the end of Feb and im terrible at doing things daily I decided to do the whole thing in one go :)
There are a few days where i dont have anything that meets the challenge (e.g I dont have a numbered record) so with those days i'm just going to change it up :)
1. Debut Album: The Used - The Used
2. A split release: Jay Z/Linkin Park - Collision Course.... I'm cheating a little with this as its not actually a split release but its close enough :P
3. Record that was a gift: Four Year Strong - Rise or Die Trying ... This was a gift from my Mum, I've had so many records as gifts but I really wanted to post this one jut because it is one of my favourites
4. Artist you got into after they broke up: The Loved Ones - Build and Burn
5. Record you are glad that got a repress: Brand New - The Devil & God are raging inside me
6. (changed) Swirl Vinyl: Neck Deep - Wishful Thinking
7. A Record Store Day release: Slipknot - Vol 3 Subliminal Verses
8. (changed) Solo Record - Eminem - MMLP2
9. Favourite live band - letlive. - Fake History
10. Any 10": Ray Parker Jr - Ghostbusters Theme Song
11. Boxset or Compilation: Bring Me The Horizon - First E.P/3 L.P Boxset
12. Splatter Vinyl: State Champs - The Finer Things
13. Favourite Record: Every Time I Die - Hot Damn

19. An Acoustic Record: Alkaline Trio - Damnesia
20. A Record in terrible condition - Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil .. My Motley Crue vinyls were the first albums that I bought on vinyl and while they are not in totally terrible condition they are all second hand so are in worse condition than most of the others that I have
21. Favourite night time record: Brand New - Daisy
22. (changed) Record with only 300 pressed: Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties - We Don't Have Eachother (Red & Blue swirl - Banquet Records exclusive 300 pressed)
23. Record that reminds you of someone: Of Mice & Men - The Flood .. This album reminds me of my wife @maggie_fracture so so much
24. Any 7": Gaslight Anthem 7" Singles Collection
25. Record that was an impulse buy - Matt Skiba & The Sekrets -Babylon .. I bought this without even hearing a single song, but it wasn't much of a risk... i mean... its Matt Skiba!!!
26. Most Recent Purchase: Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 2
27. Favourite Coloured Vinyl: Pierce The Veil - Collide With The Sky (Transparent Electric Blue)
28. Recommend a record: Slaves - Through Art We Are All Equals ... This album is absolutely stunning!! Johnny Craig's voice is phenomenal so I would definitely recommend this to anyone
ANNNNNND im done!! Im pretty gutted that I couldn't show off a lot of my favourites from my collection but they just didnt fit any of the criteria. :)
