Old Vinyl & UFO Kids

Old Vinyl & UFO Kids was recorded at home on a TEAC 2550 1/4″ four track machine over the easter of 2004.

cassettes’ first album is fifteen years old this month. It was the result of a particularly purple patch of writing & though I only play it once a year, still delights. Sometimes (& this goes for the written word, too) I wonder, 1) How on earth did I do that? &, 2) Am I better now, or worse?
