I think it sounds like a fabulous topic. I have the same sort of reaction to antique books. I like to imagine the lives of the people who used to read them. The theme of records could be used as a vehicle for exploring so many issues:

Juxtaposing the lives of African American then and today.

1968… Our country was in crisis. How does your life as a student differ from that of a student living then. (check out top albums from 1968)

Records are a throw back in an age of Ipods and playlists. Are you are throw back to a different time? Are your goals and priorities different from your peers?

Good luck. I’d love to read the essay once you get something fleshed out.
