What exactly are you supposed to do on a day off? no school. no work. just a giant abyss unfolding in front of you. absolutely endless opportunities to catch up on homework, get some spring cleaning done...OR take the less traveled- and by far more fun- road. pull out your parents' old vinyl records and dance the day away. i periodically take inventory of my parents albums (since you know those records that they accumulated 20 or 30 years ago tend to multiply during the dark days they're alone together), just doublechecking which artists i still love, which i newly love, and which need to be immediately placed back into their cardboard cover never to be seen again (think poco. don't get me wrong...poco's great, but after listening to all TWELVE of their albums...that about enough poco for me thanks.) but there really are some winners in those two album boxes.
newfounds:
time peace: the rascals greatest hits
rod stewart's a night on the town.
(who knew they had that album?)
this is the one with "first cut is the deepest" on it.
stillgreats:
beatles box album from liverpool
all of their albums really...but this one encompasses pretty much all of them.
george benson's give me the night
heart's dreamboat annie
this is what my living room looked like.
oh and i was cutting out more magazine pictures for my bulletin boards, hence the massive amounts of glossies on the floor and table.
oh AND that album on the top is bonnie raitt's sweet forgiveness.
all in all...a rather successful- and oh so productive- day.
so go bust out some old records and experience the bliss.
