Itās really fun to dig through our collection and find artwork that goes well together, usually building a theme around the last record we listened to. This particular piece is called āWomen leaningā.

some people enjoy spending after hours shopping for new clothes. me? the record shop has always been a place of pure solace. the funny thing is, i donāt even own a record player - i just enjoy flipping through the lyrics and credits and immersing myself into the art of each album.

Love all forms of media tbh but Iāve always loved the size of the album art and the linear notes and the goodies that come with vinyl. Theres also something meditative about the whole experience that Iāve always enjoyed. My little music corner is probably my favorite room in my house.

āI've been collecting records for a couple years, got a shit ton working at Rough Trade, variety, many new ones tho, great records, I enjoy them more listening all the way through, something I do but am not as good at while streaming. I work from home though, and recently, the more my "jazz fusion" collections or random compilations amass, the more I have to listen to for first time, specifically while working. It's a vibe to soundtrack everything though. I had to turn off while vacuuming though...haha

Just a list of my all time favourite songs that is under constant construction. Once in a while I very slowly try to put them in order.

Thereās an indescribable beauty to this song, āAlisonā, by Slowdive. Oh, how I wish I could put into words how this song makes me feel. When I first stumbled upon it, and the wholeĀ SouvlakiĀ album it belongs to, I was quite lonely. I had friends, but most of my friends had someone in their lives. Someone who was more important to them than me. I was nobodyās priority. Thatās how it felt, at least. I was longing to be loved. To be cared for. And that is exactly what Neil Halsteadās vocals on this song bring forth, a feeling of longing, of desperation. He longs for someone so desperately, that heāll do anything as long as he gets to be with her. He will do whatever it takes so as not to be alone anymore.Ā
āAlison, Iāll drink your wine / Iāll wear your clothes when weāre both highā
Sheās like an addiction, and he is addicted to her and anything sheāll ask of him. At the time, I would have given anything to overcome the loneliness that overwhelmed my everyday life. A girl could give me the smallest amount of attention, and I would spiral into a rabbit hole of highly unlikely fantasies. Even if I knew they werenāt at all right for me, I made up scenarios in my mind of what it would be like to be with them. For a moment, I would actually feel less lonely.
āāAlisonā, I said, āWeāre sinkingā / Thereās nothing here but thatās okayā
As a soaring guitar fades in and the chorus takes off, I daydream about what could, but probably never will be, and never should. Iām not ready. I have to wait. She has to be somewhere. Softly, carefully, I can already hear her, through Rachel Goswellās gorgeous echoing vocals, somewhere in space. I just have to wait.
āI guess sheās out there somewhereā¦ā
She was.
