Saturday. The Day for Fun according to my father. Still in slumber in the bedroom above the living room where I'm writing this. I've got a trip across country from my parent's hpme to my own In Newcastle. Meaning I'll miss Record Store Day in all probability. A day that means very little to me personally. I'm not that kind of collector.
I looked through the list yeaterday evening and there was just one record whuch piqued my interest and I might ask after early next week when I do the rounds of the Newcastle record stores I frequent. Badfinge'rs third album. On Apple. No Dice.
Badfinger are like The Raspberries and Big Star. Teenage Fanclub, Super Furry Animals and Belle & Sebastian. Forever in The Beatles and their contemporaries slipstream but with a flow well worth followung for its own twists and turns..Fir uts iwn magic. No Dice has much to recommend it. I'd like a copy and the original vinyl release is pitched too prohibitively in terms of cost. North of four humdred pounds.
But it's something to covet, It has a great cover. A great set of songs. Wonderful playing. Vocals and harmonies and song structures than genuinely emote and ache. Bring back the times.Only records cn do that for me. 'No Matter What you are.....'
