A discovery that I now love
This very short post was inspired by that Reynolds bloke, not that he would ever know it.
Alabama 3 are the best post-drinking, pre-sleep band in the world. Or something. I can’t simply zonik straight out after wee beer session. I need to allow my inner ear to calm down and stop sending any strange messages to the part of my brain that makes me want to vomit. Not that I get to that sort of state every single time I drink, just occasionally. (Yes, I *do* beer now, how things change.) I’m not encouraging binge or any other sort of excessive drinking, merely the purchasing of quality music. Alcohol is something you can live without, music is quite a different matter.
I’ve also come to realise that their music is the perfect antidote to the Monday morning (or any other shitting day) blues. As to the definitive song to wake up to… I haven’t quite figured that one out yet.
No mp3 player of any description for me, with it’s tinny, allowing-wax-to-build-up in-ear ‘phones that’ll probably give me some sort of lovely ear infection, oh no! I “make do” with a five cd changing hifi and full-ear, slightly-blown Panasonic headphones. There’s nowt quite like knowingly self-destroying your own hearing, especially when you’re saving others’. I’ll put my headphones on rather than disturbing anyone else in the house, I’m that considerate, or it could be due to the fact that I’m a tad ashamed of some of my musically choices. I’ll even put them on when no one is about and also, most importantly, when my brother is banging his girlfriend a few feet away.

Been out of the loop a bit; broadband problems, moving house etc etc.
“Alabama 3 are the best post-drinking, pre-sleep band in the world.”
They’re ok for a raving lefty group. Quite nice blues riffs there. You heard Steely Dan? Old but good. Get the album Pretzel Logic.
“Alcohol is something you can live without, music is quite a different matter.”
I beg to differ

.dotdavid: Given the choice, and it would be excruciatingly for me, I'd pick music.
The entire post was a result of beer, so no wonder it's shite.
The 18th was less than special, thank you Mr/Miss/Ms Anonymous. It was thoroughly nasty, and there was no beer.–>
