Welcome to the inaugural edition of our new column, Vinyl File. With a growing interest in buying/collecting records, we hope to keep you informed with what's out there so you can get it now and don't have to sell everything you own to buy it on eBay seven years down the road. All the magic comes courtesy of our resident vinylphile (get it now?) Ben Conoley.

There are quite a few interesting bits of wax hitting streets in the next little while, including material from Alkaline Trio, mewithoutYou, Bomb the Music Industry!, Ampere, Tim Barry and more.
