last night something wonderful happened.
i was given a simply wonderful gift.
MY VERY FIRST RECORD PLAYER!
and not only is it a record player, but its quite possibly the best most greatest record player {i mean i might be a tad biased... but for real} not only does it have two giant speakers but it also has a handle and packs up real nice. basically its the new ipod. {don't worry if you see me thumping and grooving my way down the street with this bad boy over my head. lloyd dobler who?} and its pre loved. many a tunes have been played from this little gem. and i love that.
thank you forever jared!
the record worthy of being the first played?
well the beach boys of course!
and the first song?
of course.
i may not always love you.
but long as there are stars above you
you never need to doubt it
i'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what i'd be without you
i predict many nights falling alseep to the beach boys, dancing around to the sly&the family stone, baking to the ronettes, and getting ready for the day to elvis. now i just need a pink ladies jacket to complete my love for the 50s.
i've got some vinyl shopping to do!
right after i tear myself away from the beach boys...
how lucky are you!!! this rocks. i'm a tad jealous... only in a nice way though.
ReplyDeleteGod Only Knows was one of the songs we played as we were walking out of our wedding ceremony :) The other one was Run by Ben Kweller
ReplyDeleteA record player! How fun. I bet it looks so neat just sitting there patiently waiting to be played.
ReplyDeleteAw, yay. I'm glad you got such a fun gift, after your mushbrain phase, and all ;)
Have a great Thursday!
oh wow, that's sooo sweet!!! i just love the sound of records, you know, has that old vintage almost staticky sound, but not really static. anyways, it's just soo cool!! now you can hit up old record stores and find some classic tunes!

ReplyDeletexxx
So, saw the tweet about your car and the flooding and the ruined things. I totally get how devastating that could be - its the main reason I had my parents bring me all my things at one point. I hope with school/finals being almost over things get better.
ReplyDeleteMy brother LOVES his record player. Kinda makes me want one.
ReplyDeleteSo so so so so SOOOO cool.
ReplyDeleteOh wow thats so freaking awesome Chels! oh oh now you can go to garage sales and pick up old records :)
ReplyDeletei'm so glad you got to listen to the beach boys last night! jealous too though; i was hoping that lightning 100 might play any beach boys on my way home last night, but no such luck.
ReplyDeletewhen you get done with school, you and jared and i should go to grimey's and work on that record collection for sure!
Oh how exciting! I posted your cd yesterday so hopefully it will reach you soon.
ReplyDeleteooooooo lucky! i love the beach boys & your friend rocks for gifting this to you
ReplyDeleteOH I'M SOOOO JEALOUS!!! i buy records if they have pretty albums because one day, one day i'm going to own one of those beautiful machines!!!
ReplyDeletedance with one hand up! :) what a wonderful gift indeed for a girl most deserving!
hooray for record players + wonderful gifts! i love first song ever spun :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I would definitely be playing The Beatles nonstop =D
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, baking with a record player on? Does it get any better?! (Only if there's a cute apron involved, I think!)
Oh I love, love, love this Chelsea! I adore the Beach Boys (especially God Only Knows!), and listening to records on our old record player. Most of ours are from the 70s but still... nostalgia's nostalgia! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! You just scored 10 more cool points in my book.
ReplyDeletecouldn't have much better music for your first record!! lucky you...i would ADORE a record player!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the theme song for Big Love. Tee hee :)
