Hey there, listening chums! It's @JimMcCauley at your service, while @kleptones (along with @nessiest) is away at Primavera, from where he taunted me on Friday night with a photo of The Armed on stage, damn his eyes. Luckily I haven't had much time to dwell on this as, due to an unexpected turn of events, I now find myself producing a play, which so far is very much like herding cats, something I've had a lot of practice with over the last couple of years. Fun times!
"This album first came to my
attention out of nowhere and became a repeated listen in its day, that (for me)
now represents a certain era. Can’t say it is especially iconic, remotely a
renowned classic, or representative “of a generation” but it hangs on as
something I can return to that is somehow a comfort. Obviously, this is
personal, and it probably won’t be for everyone’s tastes. That said, I hope
there is a little bit of something for all to be found here—could be the
songwriting or narratives, the range of instrumentation/tonality, the
arrangements, the (now all too) familiar production. If you haven’t heard it,
you may as well know it is out there; and if you have heard it, but haven’t for
a time, perhaps it will be a refreshing and/or satisfying journey to another
time in your life.
"For #DrinkingClub there are so many poor beverage choices to be made that might be associated with this music that tomorrow morning could be a bit jangly (Sex On The Beach, Long Island Iced Tea, White Zinfandel, Slippery Nipple, Between The Sheets, Light Beer, Tequila Sunrise, B52, Wine Coolers, Fuzzy Navel, any of the range of drinks made with Blue Curacao…)."
Splendid. Direct download is here, or simply stream below:
See you at 8PM (BST)!
