For years I probably spent and inordinate amount of time brooding – and I still do now, if I’m being honest. Y’know…late nights, red wine. Thinking disguised as staring at the wall.
And I had a patch of records there on the shelf that were the perfect soundtrack. Pensive and thoughtful orchestrations of melancholy all of which now have deep, deep grooves from overplaying.
I also think the readers of this here daily drivel are kindred spirits in a way. You’d have to be to tune into a vinyl blog day in and day out. Intrinsically here at this location, the medium is the message but the music is the messenger.
Which brings me to Aussies, The Middle East whose self titled LP deserves a solid spot among the vinyl I’d spin on those starry evenings.
If my sensibilities are correct, and I believe they are, you want this record. . . and we’ve got two copies to give away.
