The White House has a cool vinyl collection (Who knew!!)

Apparently in the basement of the White House there is a whole bunch of cool records. The RIAA, the recording industries trade group, updated the vinyl during the end of the Nixon era. But their idea of hip was Pat Boone!

The Carter administration hired a "rock critic" to hip it up...Allegedly their is vinyl (likely unopened) from Captain Beefheart, Ramones, Sex Pistols. Isaac Hayes, & Led Zeppelin.

We know President Obama has a Blackberry....wonder if he has a turntable??
