An experimental post...

If you follow me on tumblr, you'll probably already know that I love music nearly as much as I love my clothes! I play a bunch on instruments and am almost constantly listening to music and trying to find new things to listen to. Being up in Aberdeen is very frustrating as there is a very small music scene here as opposed to the enormous scene I'm used to back in Glasgow! Last weekend, I took a trip back to Glasgow to visit my parents and I went to my favourite music store - Fopp. Fopp is a chain which I think is managed by HMV but is a lot more reasonably priced than HMV and is purely for music, books and dvds and not games. I picked up a few things when I was there wooohoooo

I got two vinyls, although admittedly one was actually from amazon, but it arrived in the post at the same time. Listening to vinyl is something I love to do as the quality of the sounds, although not as clear as MP3 sounds awesome and warm and fuzzy and it just perfect for horrible winter days like we have just now. 

I got this cd by Paper Aeroplanes as I'm going to see them in february and I decided I wanted a hardcopy of their music. I nearly never buy cds these days, only vinyl and mp3, so it was a nice little change. I got that nice warm feeling when I lent it to my flatmates, sharing is caring!

As well as music, the books in Fopp are unbelievably cheap, with most for 2 for £5!!!!!!! With exams and uni deadlines, I haven't been able to read properly in a while but I bought American Psycho to try and encourage me to start reading for pleasure again.

and FINALLY I also got this Coco Chanel DVD for only £3. (Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky). I'm yet to watch it but I'm very excited as Igor Stravinsky is one of my favourite composers, so it managed to cross THREE of my favourite things (fashion, music and cinema)

I hope you like this post, I thought I might branch out from fashion and style posts completely to other things I'm passionate about. Let me know what you think in comments!!

Love,
