ahhh, it happened today.
My grandparents are in town for my brother’s wedding. They brought my little cousin Conner from Kamloops too. I met up with them this morning before the show to have a coffee. We walked the West Bay Walkway into town and I stopped by Ditch… and huzzah, new shipment of Band of Horses records.
The reviews have not been stellar, but I am still really excited to listen to it.

Go an email about buying record player guts to build my own turntable and so far not encouraged. the pieces are all very pricey. Too much for this guy. I think I’d rather buy a Rega already put together…. for now.

The Morning After 
You know, i kinda wish i didn’t read the bad review because it altered my listening a bit and i did agree with parts of it, but i’m still happy to listen to it on my runs – it’s a pretty little thing.
I actually really like it.
It is sleepy and dreamy but sometimes that is the sorta music I like. I could see how running it would be awesome for the daydreams!
