This One Brings Back a Lot of Memories…

…wandering through new age/crystal shops after taking the ferry from San Francisco across the bay to Sausalito during a balmy late autumn afternoon. It was one of those things you did with new boyfriends or out-of-towners after the obligatory walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. In fact, I believe it was in one of those new age shops that I bought my original copy of this recording. Never fails to put a smile on my face. Simpler times, fer sure!

Some memories of that trip to Sausalito…

I was never that young!

Today’s Ambient Soundtrack from Loscil

Top (L-R): Plume, Sea Island, Submers – Bottom (L-R): First Narrows, Endless Falls, Scenes From New Brighton

I stumbled upon Loscil when we were still living in Denver via some Sunday evening radio program on KUVO’s second or third online stream. I love it for when I’m working and trying to concentrate, but ironically, I find it’s also the perfect falling-asleep music. I crawl into bed, put in earbuds in, and I’m out.

Fixed It For Ya

I’ve always hated the blue cover art for the Warm Leatherette CD, much preferring the stark, black & white art of the original LP.

I seem to remember that the very first time I bought Warm Leatherette on CD, the cover art did match the vinyl version, but subsequent releases featured the newer cover. It turns out, however all you have to do is turn the front case liner inside out—on at least this particular release—to get something resembling the original vinyl version.
