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 →
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...)

Especially when I have to wait, and be patient. I'm a doer, and... Continue Reading →

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 →
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 →
