DISCOVERY; From Mr Smith's Box, this was one of his oldest records, scratched and almost unplayable. I didn't record all of it, just my favourites, it was just too snap crackle pop. When I saw the state of this album I had to question everything. It didn't take long to come up with the answer. Records should be handled with the utmost care and reverence. Yes they are inanimate objects and ultimately only a material possession like your skin. They are for a brief moment part of your reality. I handle everything with varying degrees of care and reverence. Be it a rock, a tree, a person, a record, a plastic bag. Luckily not all of his albums were in such a dismal state and I came up with the answer to my existential crisis quickly.
WHERE & WHEN; These songs all show up elsewhere. Never did get this album properly, it's a bit pointless but even so, had I, I would have handled the pointless thing with care and reverence.
Speaking of pointless. How many American kids sang along with Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand???
