Many moons ago I (MK) went into John Smith’s record store where my future colleague Stephen worked with David Keenan @reversediorama and others. I was 19. Into the weird shit. I asked David for a recommendation... (1/3)
...he gave me the 7” of Unknown Happiness by Maher Shalal Hash Baz that had just came out on @geographicmusic and said it was the most important collective playing since the Arkestra (words to that effect) and that I should buy it. I took it home...(2/3)
... and brought it back the next day saying it sounded like “an out of tune Burt Bacharach.” He told me to get out the shop. Just want to apologise to David because I now realise he was probably right and I was a radge wee guy with no clue :) (3/3)
