Introduction To The Vinyl Community & Blogging

Hey there!
Thought I'd take a moment to go ahead and introduce myself. I'm starting this blog for music purposes only. InTheDepthsICallMyOwn is essentially a name I've made for all things music involved. For example, I have a blog with this same exact name on tumblr.com. However, the audience there doesn't seem to take things as serious blogs, and I find myself feeling like the community on tumblr is more interested in funny pictures, memes, and kittens, which is probably the case. 
Anyhow, I'm transitioning over onto Blogger! 

Mostly, I'm going to be posting about vinyl. I've recently gotten myself sucked into the format, and have begun a steady collection at the expense of my wallet. Luckily, I've managed to not blow away my paychecks by maintaining a 1-record-a-week schedule. So it's slow going, but my collection grows at a steady pace. Every now and then I'll get 2, or even skip a week. I've purchased a total of 19 Records. So that puts me at roughly over 4 months to this day. I don't count 7" vinyl towards my collection total, but I will pick these up on occasion. So far I only have 2. 

I got into vinyl after my Dad purchased one of those 5-in-1 media players (vinyl, cassette, CD, AM/AM radio, MP3) and pulled out all his old records. I was very fascinated. Eventually I decided it was time to pick up my first record, and things slowly increased from there. After my 4 record I order my first turntable and so it began. My dad also sorted his collection and was getting rid of a large number, so I picked those up even though they're not really my listening preference (I don't count these towards my collection). 

I'll likely post other music topics that wont be directly related to vinyl collecting.
A few things I should mention:
- My music interest is generally withing the Post-Hardcore/Metalcore genre with Soft Rock, and some Dubstep/House/ect. I do enjoy most forms of music, but I tend to gravitate towards these.
- I only collect records that are within my music interest. I've found that picking up records on random from the record store isn't for me.
