Groovy Tunes; Thursday [10/20].

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

Tisarwat wasn't even going to bother with the stereo today. It wasn't admitting defeat, however. It was merely biding her time, maybe luring it into a false sense of security, until she would pursue a more target attack at an unknown future date. For now, she would just ignore it. Maybe the cold shoulder would have some positive effect or at least have it realize that she wasn't going to be bothered by it anymore.

She was just going to make herself some tea, enjoy the silence of the store as she sipped at it, and then spend the rest of her time plucking at a guitar or (once she remembered that that needed to be done, too) taking care of some administrative work.

Simple. Quiet. Surprisingly effective, since she honestly expected the stereo to start blasting music over her playing, but it was being oddly cooperative...

....aaaand now she was paranoid. Great.

Groovy Tunes is open!

Cutter had been meaning to stop by and check out the music store in town for a while now and once his class was finished for the day, he decided to make his way over.

He remembered Summer’s recommendation about Jenny Lewis, since he wasn’t going to forget that name in a hurry and thought he’d see what new records he could find as well, “hello?” he said as he entered the store.

Tisarwat looked up from the guitar when she heard someone entering, gave an almost warning look toward the stereo as if to let it know that she would not tolerate it acting up while she was talking to someone, and then slung the guitar strap off her shoulders to set it aside and actually possibly go do some work.

"Hi," she greeted back, tilting her head with interest at the unfamiliar face. "Welcome to Groovy Tunes. Did you need some help?"

“I was given a recommendation for someone’s music to check out,” Cutter explained, “the artist’s name is Jenny Lewis?” he paused, “and I was also wondering what records you have in general, I like to collect them,” he added.

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

"Like....vinyl records?"

Sorry, Cutter. Tisarwat had Hipster-Related Trauma when it came to vinyl records, and she was now eying you a little suspiciously. He didn't really look that part, but she knew all too well that looks could be decieving.

"We definitely have plenty of those. I'm...not familiar with the artist, though, but most of the music is organized alphabetically by genre, so it shouldn't be too hard to find that way, or, if anything, I can just check the computer database."

[itsananomaly]

Cutter tilted his head at the way she had said it and then nodded, “like vinyl records,” he confirmed

He was definitely not a hipster, even though he was considered a maverick who had little regard for rules and authority, “I noticed they started coming popular again, at least in 2008 they were,” he added.

“I don’t really know what albums she has, I’d never heard of the artist until last week,” he admitted, “she has the same name as someone I know back home,”

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

"I'll check the computer," Tisareat decided with a nod, turning toward it. Otherwise, they might be searching all day. "Would you like some tea, in the meantime? You can also just start browsing around, if you like, although it won't take long at all."

[itsananomaly]

“Thank you,” Cutter nodded, shifting a bit awkwardly, putting his hands in his pockets, “and yes, I mean I would like some tea … er that would be nice thank you,” he added again, wishing he was a bit better at small talk.

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

Ironically enough, Tisarwat found his hands in his pockets to be far more socially acceptable than just waving them around presumably bare for all to see, and she felt it was a shame that he'd have to remove them to drink the tea. But tea was easily more important, so she shifted over to pour some from the ready pot at counter and offered the cup over.

"So you're a big music fan?" she asked, pouring more for herself once the cup was passed over and having a sip before returning to the computer for the task at hand.

[itsananomaly]

“Thank you,” Cutter nodded as he took his hands out of his pocket and reached over for the offered cup, “I am, particularly rock but I do enjoy most genres,” he told her.

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

Tisarwat nodded a little, clicking around for a second until she found the artist she was looking for. "Including indie and folk rock, too, I hope, because it looks like that's where we'll find her. Related acts include Rilo Kiley, Jenny & Johnny, the Postal Service, and..." Okay, she might need to check out this last one for herself, "Nice as Fuck."

[itsananomaly]

Cutter blinked a bit at that, “that’s actually a band?” he had definitely not heard of them but now he was rather intrigued to check it as well.

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

"Yep," Tisarwat confirmed with a click. "Actually a band. Just one album, though, from 2016. But the system says we have it in stock."

Not that she trust the system, especially if it was as reliable as the stereo.

But, with that, she grabbed her tea and moved out from behind the counter.

"Come on," she offered. "I'll show you to the section."

[itsananomaly]

Cutter was rather intrigued as he followed her to the section, “do you have all the music from the last decade here?” he asked rather curiously as he had a look around,

He did have a bit of music to catch up on it seemed.
