When you’re riding an outdoor elevated stretch of the F train, the late afternoon sun cascading through the car, the Manhattan skyline voguing in golden hour hues, and the shuffle in your ear pulls up a track featuring the delicate but deliberate bow hand of an ex. Suddenly it feels as if she’s standing right behind you. The power of the shuffle is not to be trifled with. Whether the Sonos, the iTunes, the Spotify, or the 99 disc changer, an acute angle can be inextricably planted in your mind’s path. Really transports you back, which in this case- at this point- is mostly pleasant, regardless of how it ended, and that she didn’t let you… er… me… us(?) say goodbye to the dog. I have never met a creature whose flatulence had better comedic timing. She could turn a tense silence into uproarious laughter in the flash of a considered squeak. Chloe the dog was one of the greats. Her mom and I had our moments, the best of which were as good as they come. She once wrote a song about me; the musical lady, not the sweet old white bearded black lab. Granted, I’m biased, but it was really good song. Sadly, I don’t have a recording, and nobody else will ever hear it. It was nobody’s fault really. (Mostly my fault by all relevant accounts. I hope I didn’t ruin her forever on those first two Dawes records.) Good times. Great oldies. WCBS FM. Cousin Brucie gets it. Though I don’t believe Bruce Morrow was ever on 107.3, so I may be conflating references here, but within the genre and time frame. I stand by the truth of the image. Holy cr@p, I loved the radio growing up. I was a huge nerd and dug into the history of it, was completely blown away that War of the Worlds was a real live broadcast that actually happened, and I found microfiche in the library of contemporaneous newspaper articles. … Wait, what were we talking about?
Not only was the 2019 vintage a charmed one throughout the valley, and the team at Brittan did some of their very finest work to date, but the multi-case discounts are back from their local distributor which allows us to offer them to you fine folks at well below standard retail!
