lone, loneliness, vinyls. vinyl albums. vinyl siding, smiley smile, overall feel, bibber. So much was lost with CDs, and then MP3s, they took away much of the depth. The album's not dead for me; I still buy vinyl albums.

🟠 The vinyls for 'Brutal But Beautiful' have been installed! 🟠 Our new exhibition opens tomorrow at 11:30am. Today, our technician @wormnail has been installing the vinyls for the exhibition, so here you have a sneak peek into the whole process of getting our front window ready. This exhibition explores the ideas and ambitions behind the founding of the University of Essex (@uniessex ) 60 years ago and how its architecture brought this vision to life. Through architectural models, film footage, and archival photography, 'Brutal But Beautiful' tells the story of how this visionary university was built, responding to an urgent post-war desire to contribute to a fast changing world. The exhibition opens this Friday, June 14th, and will be open until September 20th. We'll see you there tomorrow! #artexchange #gallery #BrutalButBeautiful #exhibition #universityofessex #architecture #archive #Essex #Colchester #ColchesterCampus #brutal #Brutalism #NewBrutalism #campus #community #art


"I've never stopped listening to vinyl. I was very disappointed when the CDs came out because I didn't like the way they sounded. So much was lost with CDs, and then MP3s, they took away much of the depth. The album's not dead for me; I still buy vinyl albums.” - Jimmy Page


"(Einstein) was not the genius working in an attic with a pen and paper," says Diana Kormos-Buchwald, the Robert M. Abbey Professor of History.
"Einstein may not have been working with large teams, but he was deeply embedded in the science community. Colleagues gave him advice and encouragement, but also criticized his work. And he, in turn, was instrumental in guiding and challenging others." The Einstein Papers Project documents many instances of Einstein collaborating with others.

Vinyl sales so far in 2014 are the best they have been for ten years.
