What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

Anyway am gonna have to go and turn off Terminal Cheesecake to do some reviews which is a shame cos it's completely fantastic. A complete change of music to the new Nick Drake single. Well it's new in as far as it hasn't been released before as a single. River Man is my favourite Nick Drake song so I am pleased it's coming out as a single. Am not entirely sure why Island are milking his output so much at the mo. I know they found that one song but cheesus.... The haunting strings on this and the warm yet mournful feel of his vocals make goose pimples appear on my arm every time. Why are called goose pimpels? Do geese have 'em? Anyway string the words cocking and marvellous together and you'll get an idea of what I think of this. Tres bien...

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
