“Watch Jason Schwartzman Buy a Record Collection for His Baby.
Six weeks before the birth of his daughter, Marlowe Rivers Schwartzman, Jason started a record collection for her nursery and filmed the shopping trip.”
I love what he says about music in the house and mood. (About 6:30) He put a desire I have into words, that I never really spoke about or thought about before. But as he was saying that I was nodding my head.
And now I know why the record player means so much to me. It brings a certain mood, vibe, feeling, whatever – that an iPod dock just doesn’t.
“I love the Beatles more than anything and I hope my kid does too.” — Jason Schwartzman
SWOON.
Good idea buddy. I adore his Beattle’s song choice. I’ll follow the sun rocks.
Aww that was fantastic! What a totally cool Dad Jason makes. I even did a little jump up from my chair and clap routine at Leonard Cohen. Every good house should have some. Thanks for sharing this x
That’s Amoeba in LA! I love this. VINYL FOREVER! :-)
Oh my! LOVE! What a great gift he is giving his child!
We played The Beatles for our daughter when she was in my womb. At 2 years of age her favorite song was Golden Slumbers. She is now 15 years old, can tell you the name of every Beatles song and is constantly wearing Beatles t-shirts. This automatically makes her the coolest kid I know.
Ah, some nice choices. Some Bobby D, Donovan and Cohen. Three favs of mine. I think music is so important; it’s such a primal thing. I am particularly proud that Rowan rocks out to Radiohead at age two and half.
Love this. My 13 year old daughter is a huge Beatles. She also loves Queen & ABBA. I think that’s pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. :)
oops…huge Beatles fan.
wow.. sometimes I forget just how much music has meant to me though out my life.. how at one point it was my life… really.. and how even though my awesome husband bought me a record player I rarely even use it anymore.. I get so caught up in the day to day stuff.. thanks for the reminder of just how important it is.. and I need to get back in touch with that.. I hope all those old albums in my garage are still useable…
totally agree, vibe, mood, all of it.
I”m sure you saw this…

always enjoy your entries — this one for the music selections and his thoughts. makes me want to find my ‘free to be you and me’ marlo thomas album.
as a side- i finished uploading my four of us x 12 inspired by your fabulous project although did not accomplish every month- love that i’m in some family pics. thank you for this!
Thanks for sharing! I am always amazed at the difference music can make on the mood of our house. When my kids are having a bad day, we crank up Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and it’s impossible for them to stay grouchy.
OK, totally want to buy a record player now to play old albums we have stored in a box in the basement! :)

Ha! This is awesome, Tara. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. This guy has such a charismatic vibe to him. He had me smiling throughout the entire video. Music is rooted strongly in the heart of our home. I relate completely.
Love this Tara, thanks for sharing. And thanks for doing what you do :)
