 Bird’s birthday today 

Diary

 

Peaches!

Another record I picked up a few months back: a white vinyl edition of Peaches by The Black Keys. I had tickets to their July concert but couldn't go due to a family vacation. This is one of their best albums in awhile. Old school rock and blues. This is what The Black Keys are best at in my opinion. I like the title too as it matches my Peaches Records album crate where I store my albums. 

 

Phosphorescent Blues

The other day I picked up a used copy of Phosphorescent Blues by Punch Brothers at Josey Records in Garland. The cover features a 1928 painting by Rene Magritte. This painting hangs in the MOMA in New York. This double record is very nice and was the most recent Punch Brothers release when we saw Chris Thile host Live From Here in Austin almost a decade ago so it brings back some nice memories. This is a great set of songs.

College

We took the boy back to college this week. Always bittersweet. He’s happy with his new apartment and his roommates. He’s living his best life and is making us proud. But we miss him. 

Gold

This past Saturday Jackson and I went to Josey Records in Garland for a Weezer Listening Party. They were playing the new album, presumably called The Gold Album, which comes out next week. We got some nice swag and the record was good. Unlike the Jack White Listening Party they did not have the record available to purchase yet. Seemed kind of strange to me. Still it was fun. Weez on.
