Second day at home with my daughter and I've been letting her pick out records, she likes the process but the music, not so much! Barely gets through a song before she wants to get another record!! She's worse than me! I'm so proud!
I have no idea why I continued to ignore late period Sonic Youth for so long, it's really good and I feel like an idiot for dismissing it years ago and never going back until now!!
My daughter's current favorite word is "okay" she says it all the time and every time she does I repeat it back to her like I'm Lil Jon...just one of many references I'll make that she'll never understand!!
Mclusky Do Dallas has FINALLY arrived!!! Can't wait to give it a proper spin tomorrow when I have the house to myself!!! Took a little longer than expected, they said May originally I think, but hopefully it'll be well worth the wait!!! No extra charge from FedEx, so far, but they could have knocked instead of just leaving it by the door!!!..might try to give it a sneak peek tonight, I'm a tad excited!!
Rainy day today, rushing my little one out to the car, she hates the rain, get her in quickly and fire up my usual driving playlist and it starts with Massive Attack "Prey for Rain"... Look phone, if you're going to listen to me read the room!!! I swear if they followed that up with Garbage I was going to throw my phone out the window!!
Question, I just received an email from Bandcamp asking for my phone number to complete my shipment saying it's required now for international shipments... It's an album I ordered and the email looks legit but I'm always paranoid about such things, international people is this real or on some bullshit?
Second day in a row I've let my daughter be in charge of the music selection, any record she wants I'll throw it on and see what happens...and once again she's only interested in my old cassettes!! I think she likes them because she can actually take them out of their cases and put them in the tape deck... looks like another afternoon of 90's hip hop...it's like highschool all over again...well not exactly...
I've never been more of a casual Blur fan, I know a song or song 2 but never really dug into their discography until this weekend and boy oh boy they are fantastic!!! The good news, I discovered some fantastic music, the bad, I'm now on the hunt for a whole lot of Blur records!!!
Question about Bandcamp, I have an order that says it will ship on the 2nd and arrive no later than the 16th, does Bandcamp send out tracking or anything to confirm it shipped? Thanks
Didn't expect to start my day with a new LCD Soundsystem song but here we are!!! I really like it which isn't a surprise, I celebrate their entire catalogue!
Sick baby this weekend so no record show for me! I did get to tell my wife I saved hundreds maybe thousands of dollars and I told myself they probably didn't have anything I actually wanted....I'm living in the land of make-believe at this point!!!
When I woke up today I never would have guessed I'd buy a cassette but here we are!!! Before you ask it was a live Broken Social Scene show from 2003 they have up on Bandcamp...no regrets.... probably some....
At my in-laws and my wife just caught me looking up "record stores near me" she was not impressed....and neither was I, this town has NOTHING going for it!!!
Took my daughter over to my sister's yesterday, just found out they have an organ and boy oh boy did my little girl take to it!!! It was such a joy watching her bang away on those keys like she's Thelonious Monk!!! Can't wait until she can actually play something!!!
