vinyl

So as I've been practicing my ukulele more, and taking some lessons from a co-worker's 16 year old son after work, I needed to go to a real music store to buy a CD or 2 to practice songs with. I got fed up with iTunes this year, as I can't transfer the music where I want to go easy enough and I can't share it, and I sort of just missed the cover art. I watched Love Jones recently, and was inspired by the record store scenes, and just missed the record store.

So on a lunch break last month, I rediscovered Soundsations, the record store Christine and I used to frequent in college. Well, it's even better than I remember, and I've been buying more used CDs and vinyl ever since. It's so great to ponder the album art on a large scale, and put on a record on a saturday in the front room, leave the front door open and sit on the porch, relaxing and soaking up music, which I realized had been pretty absent from my life somehow.

Here's what I've been listening to from my new used record collection :)
