How Do You Say “Vinyl Rules, Man” in Italian?

So as we were wandering around Florence (after seeing Botticelli's Birth of Venus at the Uffizi) Saturday, and what to our wondering eyes should suddenly appear but an actual, fabulous record store, run by obviously kindred spirits.

I'll have more to say about the place -- which is called Contempo Records and has been doing this kinda bizness since 1977(!) -- on a later occasion, but let's just say that they treated two idiot Americans like royalty, and I can't tell you what a kick it was to hear the Floor Models blasting over a Florentine sound system.

Oh, and BTW, it's my birthday today, so if you wanna say something nice, I wouldn't mind.
