This past Thursday, Sarah and I took some time out of our schedules to visit Pittsbu
rgh. We checked out our favorite vintage clothing store, Avalon Exchange, in Squirrel Hill and found plenty of gems among the racks.
I found too much and luckily had limited myself, that’s new for me, lolz. I bought a nice button down shirt and some Italian leather dress shoes that I have been wearing quite a bit recently.
Sarah of course found limitless amounts of hipster threads but of course we had to go to more than one store!
We also stopped at a Jerry's Record Store in Squirrel Hill that was absolutely epic. Rows and rows of vinyl gave me a tunnel vision that had me grabbing albums and wanting to spend the rest of my college savings.
There were plenty of deals there, but I settled on buying just one album, U2’s The Unforgettable Fire. (Yes, Bono will never lose his influence on my life)
Speaking of which, U2 is currently in the studio with a video blog giving us snippets of
the boys with their partner in crime, Brian Eno. These vids can be seen on U2.com, and I’m sure youtube has got it all as well.
Eno, who is producing U2’s new album, was busy working with Coldplay…hence Viva La Vida sounding like all the work Eno has done with U2. He has worked with them on a number of their albums, and is truly innovative with sound and composition.
I’m not trying to knock Coldplay, they do what they do well, I’m just saying that Viva La Vida sounds like the love child of Sigur Ros and The Joshua Tree.
…and you thought we were talking about my new clothes...
