Wandering back along Chiswick High Street after having my haircut on

I was listening to my new (but soon to be 'trusty') MiniDisc player. A few Boymerang tracks, a few Randy Crawford tracks, Hopkirk and Lee E.P. then, tada, two G500 tracks (Blue Thunder and Tell Me). And yep, I had to sate my urge to shift the volume level from 25/30 to full tilt ahoy. And I have a theory about it. Not a v. clever theory, I'll admit, but still. See, when I first

Thursday, listened

to G500, I naturally listened at 'normal' volume levels. And fell in love with them. Having discovered that I could achieve a whole level new level of immersion by playing the tracks at parent distressing levels, however, I do find it difficult to go back to the old 'volume at half mast' scenario.

Strange. I don't have any parents around to distress with it, and yet I still want to turn it up. It just sounds better. I can't explain it, but at normal levels it sounds puny. I now feel guilty for not pestering my parents more when I was growing up.

And you mention 'that' album. Presumably you me 'On Fire'; Suzanne ? If not ...

No no no..... THAT album. Just kidding. This is our music. I don't have the urge to buy any more of their albums. i know how everyone goes on about how great a band they are, and I like listening to that album every once in a while, its just not something I personally get into. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
