I got re-introduced to music by my new tenant today. It started with a discussion about the weather - if it's not raining, you're sweating, she's fresh up from the temperate zone of Melbourne - it's called muggy weather I said and she said people don't write songs about muggy weather, and I said Under The Mango Tree, by The Pigram Brothers, and we live under a mango tree, so do they or they grew up under one in Western Australia, they really are brothers. I found some of their music on youtube and we are listening to it and she goes and gets a little cube thing and it sounds amazing coming through that and you know I am listening to my favourite band.
Have you listened to Petracor, she asks. I have no idea what she's saying, it's like she's speaking a foreign language half the time, I haven't heard of a single one of the musicians she talked about and I am very uncertain if I will like it, and I am worried it will be too cultie and I don't want my brain zapped but she gently persisted and I liked every single thing she had picked, including Red Indian thing, I now have a a whole playlist. here's one from the start, middle and end.
so yes, it's been years since I listened to music. It's been a wonderful experience.
okay so that seems to be working, you just have to skip ads.
