I realized I haven't posted a Shop Sounds post in a loooooong time. So I took a look at my records, CDs, iTunes, to see who I've been listening to most as of late. Turns out I'm going through a playlist stage these days, gravitating towards single songs, rather than a specific artist. I've been … Continue reading Shop Sounds: Winter Playlist
Did you hear?! I'm going to be in my first ever craft show on November 7th, and I am so excitified!! (See a previous post to learn what I mean by this word...) I've been researching craft fair preparation on Pinterest to figure out what I've gotten myself into, and oh boy do I have some … Continue reading Shop Sounds: Jacob Montague

The mornings are feeling a bit chillier, and there's a tree in the front yard that has decided to adopt a more golden … Continue reading Shop Sounds: Gregory Alan Isakov

Her most recent album, Walk Through … Continue reading Shop Sounds: Katie Herzig

Especially when I have to wait, and be patient. I'm a doer, and … Continue reading Shop Sounds: Odessa

I love to pick through the lyrics, riffs, and album artwork, exploring the how and why of each piece. Lord Huron takes this concept to a … Continue reading Shop Sounds: Lord Huron
The Washington coastline is pretty amazing. I had the chance to drive to the peninsula with some friends recently, and was really excited when I got to play DJ. Alfred Hall's EP seemed like a perfect match for the scenery, and now, every time I listen to it, my mind's eye is full of the … Continue reading Shop Sounds: Alfred Hall
I'm a total music junkie. I blame my parents. I grew up with music playing all of the time, live or on the stereo. These days I always have music on, and I absolutely love searching out new bands and swapping finds with my friends. My Shop Sounds posts are intended to share what I've … Continue reading Shop Sounds: Home
