I had a particularly fruitful radio-listening session last week, listening to Marc Riley’s show one weeknight. His is a show I listen to rarely, but when I do tune in, I always remember why I like it. Beautiful playlist and insightful anecdotes.
Anyway, on to the subject of the of the post. Tim and Sam’s Tim and Sam Band released their debut album, Life Stream, last week. Marc played a track on his show and I just had to buy it. A few days after I’d ordered it, I got the album through the post. Not only did I get the album, I got a rather nice compliments slip with a personal thank you and a tea bag from, presumably, the aforementioned Tim. Which was nice.
Now, why is this is a moment in music? Because for me, it’s rare I find out about new music via the medium of the radio. So, when I do get to hear of a band in this way, like Tim and Sam, it’s a moment to cherish.
Now I just need to give the album a spin!
