The Mister had an unexpected afternoon off today, so I drove into town to pick him up and we took the opportunity to visit our favorite record shop, Steady Sounds.

I picked up two records. I finally got my hands on a cheap copy of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club! I’ve been wanting a copy of this album since before we even started collecting vinyl. This is my favorite Beatles album (though I think Abbey Road is a superior record, and is a close second, this one is my favorite.  It is my personal opinion that A Day in the Life is the absolute, no question, best piece of music ever composed.) and now I can finally listen to Sgt. Pepper’s as it was intended to be heard.  There’s something so magical about listening to the Beatles on vinyl.

I also treated myself to a copy of Magnetic Fields’ Charm of the Highway Strip. I really love basically every song on this album, too.  Especially this one:

Then we headed over to Popkin’s Tavern for a yummy late lunch. It’s a really cool restaurant/bar that is built in an old furniture factory. 

Hooray for surprise afternoon dates! ♥ ♥
