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.

  5. Oooooo, mama. Project Runway and Nina Simone could get anybody juiced back up.

    Maybe 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) :)

  6. 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.

  11. I still love to hear things on vinyl, absolutely.

    Point of No Return is one of my favorite movies, partly because of all the Nina tunes.
