monday night, i arrived home from arizona feeling an intense combination of exhaustion + euphoria.. the magic of the fest spilled out over 4 days of celebrating life + music + community with 8123 family from all over the world (2017 = 2,000 / 2019 = 5,000). i was frozen + fully prepared to crash as i rolled my suitcase into my room.. i flipped the light switch + was rendered speechless. (yes, i don’t have much of a voice left after singing loudly at every show, but..) brand new incredible speakers, shelf* + set up.. all lovingly gifted + prepared by my family. i’m in tears, again, just thinking about this overwhelming surprise! wow wow wow. i didn’t want to leave the valley of the sun + now i’ll only leave my room when absolutely necessary, this winter.. : ) i’m blown away at this outpouring of kindness.. humbled to feel so seen + loved. you guys GET me + i don’t even know how to accurately say thank you. each of you are the real gift + i’ll think of you every time i press play.. 😍 i love it + i love all of you!! 💃🏻💃🏻 [ stand by for a video of how amazing they sound.. didn’t want to wake the neighbors at midnight. 😆 ] #morethanmusic #heathersturntable #surprise #welcomehome #stillinshock #grateful #family #speakers #vinyl #neverleaving #somuchbetterthanasurpriseparty [*needs to be organized 😬] https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_rXXDByZ2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xqs0k2uyxgpt

my well-loved rainy day records + harry, cause his is one year old, today. 🖤 always grateful for timeless tunes + albums made for vinyl.. the ones to be played all the way through. ps-ryan, how did you know? : ) [ @misterryanadams: Cold Roses on the turntable this morning. I love that we left all the tape splices- they're so obvious and funny. It's such a little magical record, so much happening. So much space. It's overcast here and no good for gardening or running. What are your fav moments on Cold Roses?" ] mine are "magnolia mountain" + the title track..but, honestly, all of it. 🥀 happy saturday spinning, yall. ☔️🎶☕️ #morethanmusic #coffeeandrecords #noahgundersen #ledges #ryanadams #coldroses #harrystyles #weekendwax #vinyl #rainydayrecords #thevinylcountdown #favorites #saturday #heathersturntable

my music history nerd heart beats for stories + songs--legends like robert johnson. though, if you know his music, you know there's no legend "like" him.. (@nbctimeless did a fantastic episode on this/him, recently.. 🤓) since high school guitar class, i've been held captive at this man's mysterious story + undying songs. any music we love today undoubtedly stems from this man's strings.. i couldn't be more grateful. happy 107th birthday to the father of the blues..the reason for rock + roll. 🖤 'Never had the hardships of the world been transformed into such a poetic height; never had the blues plumbed such an emotional depth. Johnson took the intense loneliness, terrors and tortuous lifestyle that came with being an African-American in the South during the Great Depression, and transformed that specific and very personal experience into music of universal relevance and global reach. “You want to know how good the blues can get?” Keith Richards once asked, answering his own question: “Well, this is it.” Eric Clapton put it more plainly: “I have never found anything more deeply soulful than Robert Johnson.”' - Robert Johnson Blues Foundation http://www.robertjohnsonbluesfoundation.org/biography/ #morethanmusic #tunestuesday #robertjohnson #music #history #musichistory #vinyl #blues #deltablues #RSD2017 #legendary #keithrichards #ericclapton #guitar #sweethomechicago #heathersturntable

happy fifth birthday to this game-changer of a record. she sang me home from nashville, as my preorder arrived just in time to get on a bus back north. this album is sweet tea + cacti + just the right amount of sass. i still love spinning these songs, after all this time. a week before the record release, wrote that her songs were brave + snarky + she was exactly what music needed at the time.. it's been a pleasure to see her take the world by storm. congrats, km! i cannot wait to experience 'golden hour,' soon + tour this summer. 🌵✨🎶💕💃🏻 #morethanmusic #kaceymusgraves #sametrailerdifferentpark #vinyl #favorite #country #music #happybirthday #album3soon #goldenhour #heathersturntable

"go out and find and album called B.B. King: Live at the Regal, which is where it really started for me as a young player." - e.c. // bless b.b. + his beloved blues for sparking generations of rebellious rocknroll souls. from venturing out to clubs to hear live blues (where he found mick + keith) to testing out amp + guitar combos till he discovered the one with the wind instrument/harmonica sound that played in his mind.. (@marshallamplification 🤘🏼). clapton's passion + persistence inspires me. + music history will always fascinate me. 🤓🎶🎧 #morethanmusic #musichistory #nothingcomesfromnothing #coffeeandrecords #music #vinyl #thevinylcountdown #weekendwax #dadscollection (save for abbey road + b.b.!) #heathersturntable

• the doors /// 01/04/1967 • "If you wanted to craft the perfect rock debut, the most obvious route wouldn't be to meld Bavarian oompah with Willie Dixon's Chicago blues, Bach minuets with John Coltrane charts, 12th-century Celtic myths with ancient Greek tragedy, topped off with plenty of existential angst and a healthy dose of psychedelics. But even with influences touching on all of the above, the Doors' 1967 self-titled debut would soon make the band immortal, thanks to songs like "Break on Through (to the Other Side)," "The End" and the immortal "Light My Fire." ..The Doors captured for eternity the raw, vital, hypnotic excitement of four fearless artists." - @rollingstone // the magazine did a piece, last year, featuring 10 things you didn't know about @thedoors' debut LP. i found it fascinating that morrison told the band to each write a song (which they'd never done before), so 20 year old bassist, robby krieger, penned "light my fire"--that beast of rock classic was the FIRST song he ever wrote. (morrison wrote the second verse, but still.) amazing. i also learned that morrison cut ties with his family, so his brother had been listening to "light my fire" for WEEKS, when a friend brought him the album cover (above) + noted the resemblance.. what a way to find your long lost brother.. what a record. what a band. what a legacy. happy birthday to the doors' first baby. 🖤☕️🎶🎧 #morethanmusic #thedoors #rollingstone #music #history #vinyl #1967 #debut #lightmyfire #rocknroll #musichistory #nowspinning #thanksdad #dadscollection #thevinylcountdown #heathersturntable
