thursday love
I love the scratchy sounds of records playing. I like to sit and watch the uneven rotation of the grooves, I find great joy in carefully placing the needle where it needs to go.
things that are helping me to get over:
-a late night telephone conversation with my best friend (whereupon I ranted for an embarrassing amount of time)
-encouraging words from y'all
-project runway (yes please, I cannot get enough)
-nina simone singing 'here comes the sun'
(nina simone albums thrifted for a dime a piece-- so sick, I know)
the TILT originator is here. and more thursday love to be found here and here.

i'm so asking for a record player for my 1/2 birthday!
ReplyDeleteI adore Nina's cover of that song. Hope you're well!
ReplyDeleteJust skipping through random blogs.
ReplyDeleteRight on with Nina Simone!
Keep those records out of the sun.
great colors in these photos... My godfather has an unbelievable collection of records it takes up an entire wall in one bedroom (that was mine at a time) it is nuts...
ReplyDeletehang in there girl~
Oooooo, mama. Project Runway and Nina Simone could get anybody juiced back up.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one of these days we can sit on a porch, drink gin and tonics, paint our toenails and listen to Nina...
Things will work out - keep the faith (and blast the music) :)
I am smitten with your fantastic photo - I agree I adore the sounds of records. Those wonderful hisses and pops they just don't carry over to disc's.
ReplyDeleteMy cable was going in and out last night with a storm so I didn't get to see most of Project Runway ~ waah! Tonight is bookclub so I must wait to catch up this weekend. I'm SO excited it's back on!!
ReplyDeleteYour photo is fabulous.

nina just might cure most anything you throw her way. I love that you love her. just another reason to think you are pretty darn super.
ReplyDeleteall hail to vinyl!

ReplyDeletewhy do you always have so many comments?
I was skeptical that I could get into another season of Project Runway...but one night and I'm hooked!I watch with my 14 year old daughter...we love it! We are going to try altering some T's this summer.
ReplyDeletegreat turntable photo
ReplyDeleteI still love to hear things on vinyl, absolutely.
ReplyDeletePoint of No Return is one of my favorite movies, partly because of all the Nina tunes.
