Day 2293 - The Fat Boys "The Twist" 7-inch and Mac Quayle - 08.31.17

This morning I was looking for another single to photograph and I pulled out this Fat Boys record.  I photographed the cover, but after that I was reading the back and noticed that Mac Quayle did keyboards on this record.  Mac Quayle, is the composer for Mr. Robot, which is where I know him from.  He has done other things as well, but I know him from that and I love his work with that series.  So I thought I'd take another photo of the back of the record to show that credit.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2292 - Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" - 08.30.17

This morning I grabbed another 7-inch, but this one is from the 80's.  I tried to make this photo a little more interesting than the last couple, but utilizing a foreground element.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2291 - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club "Stop" 7-inch - 08.29.17

I've had a couple boxes of 7-inches out recently and since I photographed a Black Lips record yesterday, I thought I'd dig into the box again and right near by was this single from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.  Great track.  I miss buying new 7inch records.  in the 2000's I was going to Amoeba a lot buying new singles, but I have been out of that habit in recent years.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2290 - Black Lips "Katrina" 7-inch - 08.28.17

With it being hurricane season and since it does seem to be the topic of conversations today, I dug out this "Katrina" 7-inch.  I love this song about Hurricane Katrina.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2289 - Yellow Flower - 08.27.17

This is one of the flowers in the bouquet of flowers in our dining room.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2288 - J.Geils Band "Freeze Frame" - 08.26.17

This album is one of the first albums I ever owned way back in fifth grade.  Of course back then I bought the tape.  "Centerfold" was the huge hit off this record and I played that song endlessly.  Back in the day I didn't fully appreciate many of the other songs on the record and thought they were a little weird.  As I've grown up and my musical tastes have expanded, I appreciate the whole record.  I've always liked the cover art.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2287 - Cat Stevens "Tea For The Tillerman" - 08.25.17

I listened to Cat Stevens latest record "The Laughing Apple" and really like it.  It sounds like good old Cat Stevens.  I totally recommend it.  Also my daughter recently asked me about the film Mickey and Maude which her friend recommended to her.  That of course lead to a conversation about the great Cat Stevens songs in that film and also this latest record.  So I have had Cat Stevens on the brain recently.  Well, that album I have digitally, so I can't photograph it.  So I grabbed "Tea For The Tillerman" off the shelf for a photo today.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2286 - Night Rander "Midnight Madness" - 08.24.17

All I want to say about this album cover is that how eighties it is with the guy in scrubs.  What was the deal with dressing in scrubs?  This is something I saw today.

Day 2285 - Derek And The Dominos "Layla" - 08.23.17

I've had Eric Clapton's version of "Layla" from his MTV Unplugged album come up a couple times on random on my iPod. So I had that song in my head this morning when I was looking for an album to photograph.  Hence today's choice of Derek and the Dominos "Layla".  This is something I saw today.

Day 2284 - The Housemartins "London 0 Hull 4" - 08.22.17

I love The Housemartins.  I discovered them in College from a friend across the dorm hall.  He had their second album "The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death".  I didn't hear this album until many years later, but I love it as well.  I picked this up at Atomic Records a few weeks ago when I had that big record haul.  This has yet to be filed away on the shelf and is still out with the records I have been playing recently.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2283 - Partial Solar Eclipse - 08.21.17

Today there was a partial Solar Eclipse over Los Angeles.  I stepped out from work along with many other people to look at the eclipse.  I snapped this photo through a special filter a friend had from the Griffith Observatory.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2282 - Marvel Two In One #81 - 08.20.17

Here is issue #81 of Marvel Two In One with The Thing and the Submariner.  This picked this up from a stack of comics in my record room.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2281 - Chris Stapleton "From A Room Volume 1" - 08.19.17

Chris Stapleton's latest record is just as good as the last.  There is not a bad song on the record.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2280 - Traffic Court Public and Juror Parking - 08.18.17

I had another trip through South Los Angeles this evening on my way home.  I passed this parking sign.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2279 - Baby Driver Soundtrack - 08.17.17

I saw this movie two weekends ago and had a great time.  The soundtrack plays such a huge part of the movie.  Edgar Wright put together an amazing collection of songs for one of the year's best films.  I will be playing these record (or records since it is a double LP collection) for many years to come.  Of course when I first played the records, I again cranked "Easy" by the Commodores and this version sounded much better than the one I had on the old "Greatest Hits" record.  Good stuff.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2278 - Purple Rain - 08.16.17

Again this evening my Google Maps took me through the streets South of LA to get home.  I have gone this route before and I had seen this mural before.  Today I stopped and got out of my car to take a photo.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2277 - Sunset In Los Angeles - 08.15.17

This evening my route home took me through some side streets south of Los Angeles and then I picked up the 10 and went around to the 5.  This is a shot of downtown from the 5 just after exiting the 10.  I took this out the window as I was driving.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2276 - Lamp Post - 08.14.17

This is a lamp post at work.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2275 - Leonard Cohen "You Want It Darker" - 08.13.17

This was one of my favorite records of 2016.  I have had it digitally for a while and I have been looking for it on vinyl for a few months now.  Sure I could have just ordered it online, but I like the hunt in the store.  I finally found a copy at Barnes and Noble yesterday.  After seeing Baby Driver my wife and I stopped in Barnes and Noble and I picked this up along with the Baby Driver soundtrack as well as a few other records.  I picked up Depeche Mode's "Black Celebration", Chris Stapleton's "From A Room Volume 1" and Margo Price's "Midwest Farmer's Daughter".  It was an expensive day.  Well, I've had some good records to listen to this week.  This afternoon I had this Leonard Cohen record on the turn table.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2274 - Cereal Box Puzzle Complete - 08.12.17

My wife and daughter put together the cereal box puzzle last night.  I took a picture of the complete work this morning.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2273 - Sunset At MBS - 08.11.17

This is a shot of the sunset at work this evening.  There is some power line thing next to the studio.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2272 - Cereal Box Puzzle Box - 08.10.17

My wife bought this puzzle recently because she knows I love cereal boxes.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2271 - Elevator and Stairs - 08.09.17

I usually park on the top floor of the parking structure at work. And I usually take this stair well to the right.  There are elevators to the left, but I don't use them.  This was taken late this afternoon/evening as I was leaving.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2270 - Black Shampoo - 08.08.17

A couple weekends ago I was browsing Amazon Prime for something to watch and I came across Black Shampoo.  I was in for just this type of movie.  I haven't been to the New Beverly is such a long time and I miss watching films like this.  Anyways, the film was okay.  Almost immediately, though, the soundtrack stood out for me and before the movie was over I had found it online and ordered the record.  It took a while to arrive, but it finally did.  Fantastic cover.  The album itself sounds okay.  There is a bunch of dialogue in there and kind of sounds like it was ripped right from the soundtrack.  Quibbles aside, it has some good grooves.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2269 - Play Station Controller on Table - 08.07.17

Shot this morning of one of our Playstation controllers.  We don't really use it to play games, but use it for watching Blu-Rays, DVDs and stream TV.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2268 - Commodores Greatest Hits - 08.06.17

Yesterday, we saw Baby Driver, which features the song "Easy" by the Commodores.  So today I broken out this Commodores record to blast that song.  Sooooo good.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2267 - Chevrolet Camero - 08.05.17

Today was a full day.  Picked up my daughter out in Redlands, went out to Bob's Big Boy for breakfast, did some grocery shopping, watched "Baby Driver" and then went to the classic car show in downtown Burbank.  I got the camera out for the car show.  This was one sweet looking Camero.  My wife loves Cameros.  She had one in high school  She's loves the Dodge Charger even more.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2266 - Bike Rack - 08.04.17

I actually got out of work around 6:00 PM tonight.  Of course I went in to work at 5:30 AM so it wasn't exactly a short day.  I parked next to this bike rack.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2265 - The Roy and Patricia Disney Family Cancer Center - 08.03.17

This morning I had to go get some blood tests.  I parked around the corner near the Disney Family Cancer Center in Burbank.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2264 - Un'Ombra Nell'Ombra 'Ring of Darkness' - 08.02.17

This past Friday when I was hankering for some Planet of the Apes, I ended up just cruising Amazon for films and watched Black Shampoo, which was an old Balxploitation film.  It wasn't that great, but the soundtrack was fantastic which lead me to Amazon searching for the soundtrack.  It was actually that soundtrack that lead me to Amazon and put me in the buying mood.  I bought the Black Shampoo soundtrack, The Planet of the Apes collection and this soundtrack to "Ring Of Darkness" which I have been aware of for a little bit now.  That night I also went onto Youtube and watched the film.  It is pretty strange.  The soundtrack arrived yesterday and it sounds great.  The music is all performed by Goblin, so it is essentially a Goblin album with music composed by Cipriani. This is something I saw today.

Day 2263 - Coyote Sign - 08.01.17

This morning my Google Maps brought me through Elysian Park.  I pulled over and took this photo of a coyote warning sign.  This is something I saw today.
