Digital music downloads are booming and CD sales are plummeting. But an old format has found a special place in the hearts of music retailers. Join guest host Joel Meyer for a look at why sales of new vinyl LPs are on the rise. Plus: Christopher Denny, a singer songwriter from Little Rock, Ark., performs songs from his album, Age Old Hunger, in our studio. And, Nickelodeon's Yo Gabba Gabba tries to make kids TV more entertaining -- for parents.

Christopher DennyVinyl Revival
The music industry sent eight-track tapes and cassettes to the format graveyard years ago. So, why are shoppers buying more vinyl LPs? We talk with Ed Christman, senior retail correspondent for Billboard, and Josh Madell, co-owner of retailer Other Music.
Christopher Denny
If Roy Orbison grew up tough in Little Rock, Ark., he might have sounded a lot like Christopher Denny. The 23-year-old singer songwriter joins us for an in-studio performance and talks about the real-life drama behind his album, Age Old Hunger.
There's a Party in My Tummy
Nickelodeon's new show "Yo Gabba Gabba" uses hip hop, high-energy humor and celebrity cameos to teach life lessons to preschool-age kids. We talk with co-creators Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz.
