BUT I DON'T WANNA WASTE THIS WISH.

I haven’t bought a twelve inch slab of vinyl in ages but I bumped into KNAPSACK’s Silver Sweepstakes LP last weekend and got pretty stoked. I’ve known this band for so long now and this was actually the first time I came across some of their recorded output irl. I paid a tenner, which is way over my usual price for flea market finds, and went home with a record still shrink wrapped yet worn out by years spent in a curver box. The chances of this ever getting played are slim to none though. Locating a record player in my room is like one of those where’s Wally drawings and I have a digital copy anyways so I’ll just leave this with all my other stuff and know it’s there somewhere in my room or in my house or in my life whenever that digital copy is doing its digital rounds. Fans of SAMIAM/good music; click and rejoice.

I also picked up Henry Poole Was Here (or A Perfect Day For An Imperfect Man as it appears to be called over here) and thoroughly enjoyed it. The feeling of watching your former self go to the places you’ve come to fear the most is fully backed. You get nothing out of it but it passes the time and what else are you supposed to do on hot summer days or cold winter nights?


Peace.
