Miniature Soundtracks : Episode Four

Miniature Soundtracks is my small experiment in mp3 blogging. I'll be using a beloved image from my flickr photostream or favorites, reflect on it for a few sentences, and then give you a song that evokes the same feelings. If your photo or song is featured and you'd rather it not be, let me know and I'll take it down immediately.

Special Other People's Memories Edition! Mandy and Jen and I ("Another Day, Another Man") visited Uncommon Objects on South Congress on Memorial Day (in between mimosas at South Congress Cafe and swimming at Jen's apartment). Some of the sellers have bins and baskets of old greying mystery photographs for sale for 50 cents or a dollar. I've pawed through them and picked a few out every time I've ever been over the last decade, amassing probably about a hundred of these heartbreaking gems over the years. Once I spent a couple hundred dollars at the store -- mostly on pictures, plus three volumes of a mennonite girl's diary from the 1940s. Oops. The most beautiful and special displaced artifacts need a loving home and I can't ignore their call. Here are four from that most recent trip and the songs I want you to listen to while you stare at them and imagine the lives that surrounded these moments.


Sipping On The Sweet Nectar : Jens Lekman from Night Falls Over Kortedala


Sun Giant : Fleet Foxes from the Sun Giant EP


Bird : Jana Hunter from There's No Home


Wildflowers : Tom Petty from Wildflowers
