it's been a while, but seeing as no-one reads this and i have no followers i suspect that no-one has been particularly offended. even so i should point out that i intend to resurrect this place like a phoenix from the shoebox that it's been hibernating in. with that in mind, please find below for your delectation an mp3 from a scratchy seven inch, namely the candyskins' wonderful track, monday morning.
as a youth, and pretty much for the rest of my life, i had a terrible issue with the idea of getting up. essentially you could say that i wasn't built to get up but i don't have the supernaturals track with me, and besides which, in the uk it's monday morning so this seems somehow more fitting. but yes, i was always chronically late for school, on a scale the likes of which my form tutor had never known, late pretty much every day for approximately three years with a variety of excuses ranging from dentist appointments to lack of interest so here was a song that resonated heavily with me.
i bought it from virgin megastore in brighton over some long distant school holiday period in the mid nineties, during which i would stay with my grandmother in a house in hove. in the balmy summer days i used to walk down into brighton town along the beach to mooch around the shops and look at records and other treats that i couldn't afford, but i had obviously saved some money from washing someone's car or found a fiver blowing down the street or something as this is what i bought on one such trip. i seem to remember it was a toss up between this or a tampasm single, but in the end i got the tampasm single another day because this came on shining white vinyl, at a time when i was besotted with such novelties, but it was always the sentiment that appealled to me the most i think, although it's very jingly jangly indiepop which never hurts either. anyway, here it is:
candyskins - monday morning.mp3
enjoy.

As Frances will tell you, I'm getting a bit doddery and know nothing of tech. Hwvr, Right-click Save As saves the Gif, which is not what we intended. Double click on the target tells me I am not worthy to open this wonderful secret file.
Hello,
Thankyou for bringing the matter to my attention. I have poked some buttons behind the scenes and the problem should now be rectified, the wonders of The Candyskins should now be available to all.
