Wife, kids and phone messages all play their part but nothing so much as the sheer lack of time.
To make things worse, it takes me ages to get into an album these days. The days when I could give a record several weeks for me to get into it have long gone.
Jimi Hendrix LPs used to always take a fair bit of time for some reason.
I’ve been listening to ’Vauxhall and I’ again as a friend said it was his favourite Morrissey album.
Previously I kind of skipped through it, preferring Viva Hate, Your Arsenal, You are the Quarry etc, but going back to it some years later I can now see some of its charms.
I hope it doesn’t mean ANY album could start sounding good IF you play it long enough. Maybe it’s best to leave that troublesome thought that in the realm of dreams that some marketing executives might have.
