It's A Record!
The first communal item purchased for Apartment Portsmouth was a record player from Target (the second being a coffee pot). Mr. Spinny's first playmate was a Tom Waits record of live performances of nearly all my favorite songs. His second and third amigos are Decemberists (brand new) and the Smashing Pumpkins (hand-me down).
Records are surprisingly cheap. Decemberists consists of two two-sided records, a full color booklet with lyrics and glossy pics, and five songs not previously released. Price: $20. Still in the plastic! And records are huge! CDs are the suck.
Anywho, today I had some downtime (no job, napping Kasey, sleeping pugs) so I muted the Devil's Instrument and popped in side D of Decemberists and watched the vinyl go round and round.
Then it came to me: I could share the strangely simple and newly discovered joy of watching a record play with the awesomeness of my favorite songs via teh Internets. So I setup my laptop precariously on a cigar ashtray stand and captured my two faves for you, my dear sexy intelligent funny well-liked and virile readers.
Constantinople
Bandit Queen
Both of these are awesome, and it's hard to pick between the two, but Bandit Queen is adorable and gets stuck in my head most often. So there you go.
Okay, peanut butter cookies are being made and I need to help put the dough into my mouth... er... oven.
Peace!

It's so nice to finally have a boy actually like and get into the music I listen to as much as you do. And also to play the record while I am sleeping on the couch so that I have pretty music to listen to in my dreams. Even if I was in Starshollow with Lorelai and it was my mom playing the record... weird..
And I love that you call the time period in which I am napping "downtime".
Dood, where is teh trance? ;)
