You're so civilised

Actually ripped some vinyl yesterday, for the first time in months.

First up was an early 60's 7" of two itäkarjalan folk songs by Heli Keinonen, followed by MX-80 Sound's 1977 waxing, Hard Attack.

I hadn't listen to either for years and wondered if the MX-80 Sound would live up to my memories; it does, in spades. Doesn't sound dated at all: indeed, if anything it seems even fresher now in the context of what little contemporary dross I hear. A glorious racket.

Or maybe I'm finally getting old. I expect the nurse will be along in just a moment to help me to the sitting room to listen to my Faust with a nice cup of tea. HALF PAST THREE, DEAR.
