Scooters

Here are some scooters I have found parked on various streets. I really like the mod little transports, and you don't see them around very often anymore, so whenever I spot one I take a photo.

This is a pale blue Vespa ca. 1964. Ace, no?















This is a cute yellow Stella I found parked in Minneapolis. It has a little reference to a television series featuring the music of the pillows, so it stuck out to me.

Factory CD

I recently was on Ebay, and I stumbled across the coveted Factory CD from Japan. Released in 2000, it's basically just a silly compilation of different songs from different bands. It includes, however, a song that pleases me very much by a favorite band of mine, Noodles. It's called ヘッドフォンオーケストラ (Headphone Orchestra), and it's an absolutely wonderful guitar pop song. ヘッドフォンオーケストラ was only released on the aforementioned compilation, so I was pretty happy in finding this. I purchased it new for a mere $14 from Taiwan (no, not a bootleg), from a Mr. William Cheng (check his store out), and it arrived in the post a few days ago. You can check out a live of the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpqcwi0gLLQ
