My life as a Blue Note album cover...

For the past few years I have been listening to a lot of jazz (anna is not too pleased with this development). I started collecting jazz records mainly for the covers, the record label Blue Note to be more specific. I think their cover design is beyond compare. Completely classic & one of a kind. Take a look at a few...

SO, I wanted to see what mine and anna's Blue Note album covers would look like.

Here are a few badly photoshopped ideas...

Tonight You Belong to Me

We have been having some inquiries about the origin of track #1 on the wedding mix. So, here ya go...

The Jerk  (1979)

Pleasant "Magic Feet" Trautt

Anna "bakes" sugar cookies

shave & a haircut...

Anna cut off all of her hair and looks beautiful. 

2011

1967

1960

Anna w/ short hair is truly one of my favorite things...(it really is but i also wanted a good segue to this song).

New Era commercials are amazing...

Marriage License Day

 6 weeks to go & counting...

The Strange Boys

Your first album was great
Your second album was not
Your third album...well, according to this song will resemble the former.

Happy Halloween

Scooped by Daniel Gilmore from the Santa Monica Bay while sailing. Now a piece of wall art. 

 

Oh, how I miss you...

Sailing

Mail Call

A few exciting items Anna & I received in the mail this month. 

An amazing box set of demos & live tracks from one of my favorite bands (thanks Sissy)

Some Videos

"Life has often tried to stretch me 
But the rope always was slack"

Some twine Anna purchased for a "wedding project". I am banned from any further embellishment. 

Post Labor Day celebration, Anna & myself thought it a good idea to waste money on a pair of hats.

Strange how under the influence of some "torpedo juice" we seem to have all the money in the world. 

Going into Labor Day...

Wine-feld

At the Keenan household we have a tradition of drinking wine and watching Seinfeld at 10pm. I wanted to share what might be my favorite clip from my all-time favorite television series. 

Crafty Anna

Anna made this a couple of months ago. The flag it flies means 

"I wish to communicate with you".

I think it is great. 

Summer Reads

"At the time, I was seeking out late afternoons, drab outskirts, and unhappiness; now I seek mornings, the center of town, peace"

This book made me make a promise to myself, that one day I will sail across an ocean.

"I am not a man or a poet or a leaf but a wounded pulse that probes the things on the other side"

Pipe smoke, warm lager and scheming Germans

What do you do when your boss gives you less pay because he automatically assumes you will steal from him?
