Comment on So Music: An Open Reflection To A Passing Era by Brett

Before I moved to America ten years ago, I lived in Newtown. My grandparents lived in Newtown. My father was born in Erskinville. King Street is like a member of our family. So Music wasn’t just a store, it was part of the local community. And it wasn’t just a place to buy music, it was place that celebrated it. They turned me onto so much cool stuff that I wouldn’t have ventured to listen to otherwise. What sad, sad news …

Love the way you talk about music shops and curation. That’s exactly what we lost when the big chains took over.

I’ve been doing exactly what you suggest for a while now – curating my own favourites. I seek out the rare tracks, the live performances and hope that the music publishers don’t have the songs removed from YouTube.

Wow, that really is Mazzy Star-esque! Wouldn’t be out of place on Hope Sandoval’s last album at all. Regardless, really nice song. Glad to know about it…

She was captivating – and her voice is absolutely stellar!

You would be more than pleasantly surprised Tim! Give her a go! A great artist – I saw her in the Blue Mountains at the Clarendon Guest House on Wednesday evening! A great night!

She sounds like everything I’d hate. Particularly “jazz-inflected” and the ukelele part. But I intend to be pleasantly surprised when I find her on Spotify.

I love this album! It’s very relaxing and different to all the other stuff on the radio these days. My only problem is that ‘See You When You Get Here’ was not included on the album. Otherwise, it would have been perfect. Regardless, it’s definitely worth buying.

I’m from the USA and just got the album couple of days ago. It’s brilliant! Just wished they’d release it here in the USA, so we Lisa fans here won’t have to keep paying $30 dollars to get it! Ah, but it doesn’t matter… this album is so worth it!

Nice track. Can imagine this is where I might’ve found Lisa Mitchell had she not gone the Idol route. Interesting comparison to think who is better off…?
