and we all shine on

have you seen nowhere boy? it's a fantastic biopic about john lennon's young years (i'm all about the biopics lately) and his challenges growing up with an absent mother and his strict aunt. it showcases the early beatles years and you get to see the mischievous side of lennon we've all heard of.

vintage shopping in leslieville

gadabout

this past saturday i went shopping along the leslieville strip. the place is swarming with antique shops. i came across a fantastic record store called discovery used and collector records, and all the records were 50% off (my kind of deal). i didn't end up buying anything, but the posters they had on the wall were to die for (but unfortunately not 50% off). i then visited my FAVOURITE vintage store gadabout, i seem to make my way down there atleast once a week. just look at all the shoes! (all around $60-$80 dollars) they have a wide assortment of pretty much anything you're looking for. old straight razors, harmonicas, leather jackets, flapper hats, letterpress blocks, jewelery, SHOES, anything! it's all very reasonably priced as well.

help me, i need somebody

i know this is my second post this week featuring a photo of john lennon, but after a weekend of helping callum sift through old beatles songs on reel-to-reel tapes, i can't seem to keep their songs out of my head (especially 'help me', whoever recorded these had an obvious obsession with this song). this photo is also a reminder to myself that i'm desperately slacking on my guitar practice.
