COLLECTIONS : RECORDS I WANT TO OWN.

Now that we finally hooked up our record player and thrifted some speakers, I am itching to go record shopping. I have all the albums above on my iPod, but I feel like they'd be much more special on vinyl. I know this sounds corny, but a record seems much more personal and romantic.

1. First Aid Kit: Stay Gold ($18.99), 2. Grizzly Bear: Shields ($25.31), 3. Beirut: The Flying Club Cup ($17.09), 4. Father John Misty: Fear Fun ($17), 5. Dum Dum Girls: Too True ($17), 6. Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes ($14), 7. Nina Simone: The Amazing Nina Simone ($18.99), and 8. Angel Olsen: Burn Your Fire For Witness

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : RECORD LISTENING PARTY.

We have been in our new place almost five months and still don't have our record player hooked up - we need new speakers and some great swap meet find to put it on. It's definitely going to have to happen soon though, since I am itching to stretch out on the floor and listen to my favorite records (Billie Holiday... Dolly Parton... The Smiths... the list goes on and on.)

TIGER MOUNTAIN PEASANT SONG.

In his free time, my husband loves to sit around the house playing his baritone ukelele. I love singing, so sometimes I ask him to learn some of my favorite songs on it so I can sing along. Here's our cover of "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" by Fleet Foxes that I thought I'd share with you this afternoon. Xo.

SHE & HIM.

For your middle-of-the-week morning: the new She & Him video. It's Zooey Deschanel's nod to 60s musicals (my fave) and the perfect thing for this dreary spring day.
