vinyl friday ~ ben cooper

it's vinyl friday & i wanted to post about another of my favorite musical artists ~

also i wanted to post the ghost album before the glow of halloween fades away into winter.. one of our favorite albums of all-time at our house, ben cooper of radical face created this body of songs after moving into an old haunted mansion down south ~

if you've never discovered ben cooper before you'll definitely want to give him a listen, he's responsible for not just radical face but also electric president ~

i discovered ben cooper from a friend on the old elliott smith forum, sweet addy, & he was one of my myspace friends back in the day ~

i have a cool patients packet from one of his promos where he accepted trades for a bunch of his b-side songs once ~

i sent him a big plastic godzilla knock off toy for a trade :D ~

i'm a song lyrics obsessee, love when i get them right from the source & know they're correct ~

ben's such a great guy, i also talked with him years ago when posting some of his song lyrics over at my ghost blog here ~

& such a talent, he has gone on to enjoy great success ~

here's a signed graphic from another promo ~

if you've never heard of him, i suggest you listen to his ghost album.. i dare you not to fall in love with it ~

if you have google chrome of firefox browser you can sample one of his songs here on one of my gallery dollscapes ~

here's another & here's another.. later albums include the family tree ~

& i keep a small mix of these songs up at my own family tree album here as well ~

ben's music always has the feel of something vintage ~

i also have this cool leather bound journal & pen ~

a daily journaler as i've said many times, it's what keeps me sane, kinda ~

scratch your name into the clouds ~
