My record player stopped working properly about a month ago.  Actually, it was on the day Lauren and I did the photo shoot I shared a pic of yesterday.  Actually, you can even see my record player in that picture.

It’s been a quiet, lonely month in the apartment, needless to say.  It’s like all my best friends and roommates suddenly moved out and thousands of miles away.

To add insult to injury, a transformer in the alley behind my apartment has been emmiting this super high pithed buzzing noise for the past two weeks.  To say it’s super effing annoying doesn’t even began to express the way I feel about it.

A couple nights ago, I tried sleeping with my window open.  I was having fricken nightmares where I was being chased around and attacked by a sound! That’s like crazy sci-fi/twilight zone schtufff!

I’ve been praying to the gods of all things hearing related that Comed will pay a visit and fix it.

If the freaking ear polution is not gone in a few more days, I’m afraid I’ll turn to the dark side…

On to happier thoughts… I saw this picture yesterday…

High Fidelity

which made me want to post my Top 5 Records I Miss Most Today Because My Stupid Record Player Is Being Stupid.

  • #5 – Stevie Wonder – Talking Book – This album has ALL my favorite Stevie songs.
  • #4 – Gravenhurst – Flashlight Seasons – Beautiful, sad, perfect
  • #3 – Steely Dan – Aja -It’s Danger on the Rocks.
  • #2 – Jackson Browne – For Everyman – Everyone should own this album.  Everyone.
  • #1 – Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – Dream – This is one of my most recent buys, I wasn’t expecting it to be anything special, but I was madly in love at first listen.  It’s all things brilliant, from start to finish.

I really need to see about getting that fixed.  Really, really need to.

Happy Friday, have a fantastic weekend!
