Sun

This weekend seems to have marked the real beginning of summer. Spent a marvelous long weekend brunching, going on outings to the beach, drinking smoothies, and of course disc digging. I found some pretty great vinyl for cheap, including an original (albeit water damaged) copy of Stink for $3 (!). Amer turned up some funny finds as usual. But for real, it seems as though Mystery Train has finally proven itself. Everything was probably half the price it would have been here in Boston, and mostly in A+ condition.

(Taken while waiting for our train to be fixed, stuck at the train depot in Manchester.)

Pretty things that distract me at work:

forest bound (that first one belongs to me!)

Blog?

For one reason or another, I decided this would be a good idea. I suppose it will be a nice place for me to spout about music and pretty things.

So, because it's only appropriate (given the title), Black Tambourine make the first appearance here.

I recently purchased this 7", and have completely fallen in love all over again. The guy who sold it to me had been a friend of Pam's years ago, and had talked with them about putting an album of theirs someday (he is apparently the owner of Silver Girl records). Inside the sleeve I found a little letter tucked away, written on the back of old photos she had found. Anyways, they haven't left my stereo since (although I have made a little room for The Amps - I have been getting really excited for this).
