I spotted this cool record store while I was at work today. I love that there are still places like this around. Sometimes the perseverance of the past gives hope for the future.

Watched: Snake Killer Season 1 šŸ“ŗ

Terrible title, but I liked it, as with most Danish crime shows and movies. I have a feeling there will be a second season, and I also have a feeling that it will be less of a low-budget production.

Thereā€™s something about old stuff. You just point and shoot, and itā€™s going to look cool. Maybe itā€™s also about the fact that itā€™s still around, that it has survived peopleā€™s urge to trade the old for the new. A sense of ā€œthereā€™s still hope for humanityā€.
