It's no secret how much I love The Roots and in particular- Questlove.  I've been a fan from the beginning and still have all my old Roots CD's.  I posted this video a couple years ago, but still love it.  Now that all of our albums are out of storage I am trying to find a way to make them fit nicely into our house without looking like hoarders.  I've put tons of shelves in our basement and recently bought my second Ikea Kallax.  Now, I'm working on separating and cleaning the ones we intend to keep vs. the ones we will sell.  I have a feeling this is going to be an ongoing project that may take years to do.  Yes, we have that many.  It's kind of overwhelming but still fun at the same time.  I try to put on an album every day that I have never listened to.  I worked at 7th Heaven when I was in college and it was always so much fun having access to that much music.  

Back to work for me.  If you have any good storage hacks let me know in the comments below!  I love seeing how everyone stores their LP's.  Even if it's on cinder blocks and scrap wood!  Happy Monday my music lovers.

Music Monday-Hippie's Only- GTO's

It's Monday.  If you woke up on the wrong side of the bed or need to erase something you have in your mind give this record a listen.  It's pretty funny and amazing and trippy all at the same time.  If you live in Colorado, or Cali, or anywhere similar- I highly suggest imbibing beforehand. 

Music Monday-Girl Crush

Late 80s early 90s I listened to absolutely nothing but hip hop and rap.  That was it.  As I get older I'm listening to just about everything but rap.  You know..."they don't make rap music like they used to" has come across my mind several times, and then I feel old and can't believe what I'm saying.

I know the problem is me and here's why.  I'm out of the scene.  I don't work in a record store.  I have little kids.  My kids can't keep a secret.  Like that one time I let them listen to a Too Short song and I swore them to secrecy and then they ratted me out (but let it be noted they loved the beat and still ask me to play it...must find edited version).  I listen to the radio.  

I was going to post this a while back and completely forgot about it.  Right now it's getting a ton of radio play so I thought it was perfect to get me revved up me for my week.  It also reminds me to watch clueless with my daughter someday.  As if.

So without further ado- this is what I'll be rockin in pickup line.

Happy Monday,

Music Monday

Does anyone watch Vikings?  It's my new guilty pleasure.  I love the theme song from Fever Ray and have been listening to the Fever Ray station on my Pandora.  It's a little on the creepy side but I'm loving it.

Happy Monday!

Music Monday-For those about to ROCK

We. salute. you!  Two Sundays ago at Holy Cow Market Market and Music we had the pleasure of seeing School of Rock Kansas City kill it.  Lucky for me my daughter came to hang out.  I so wish my son had been there too.  These kids were amazing.  I took a couple quick videos because I couldn't resist.   When I say they killed I was not exaggerating.  They shook the dust off the ceiling.  Literally.



Unfortunately my phone hates me so I can't download the videos I took.  I did post one to my facebook page.  Thanks to youtube I found several others that  kicked ass just as much.  They also bought a ton of records.  So that was nice too.

Happy Monday from the worst blogger ever!
