It is fun and dark in the swellest of ways and will curl the tips of your toes deep into the fuzz of the soft light. Grab your lover and grind the crotch out of each others drawers late into the night over and over as the sun comes a creeping and the sweat slowly rolls down your entwined spines.
Awhile back- meaning a few months, I would say- we were hanging around Manifest Records here in Charlotte, just killing time in one of our favorite ways. Browsing through the racks of never-ending glory I caught myself zigging and zagging back and forth to this recognizable tune on the speakers. Let me just say, that I was totally immersed in the stacks of music and the tunes overhead keep you smiling as you dig on and on and on, but this was a song I knew, but I didn't. It was sooo recognizable but wasn't.
Stopping dead in my tracks, I gave my good dog ear one turn toward the sound and froze. It was reggae, sure, but it was frigging Dark Side Of The Moon! And it was sooo damn good.
So you know I had to B Line over to the center counter where they play the music from and I found out about The Easy Star All-Stars and their dripping gold send up to everyone's favorite album.
I didn't buy it then, I wanted it on vinyl and ended up ordering it for us online.
Here in our little cottage on this side of the forest we spent the weekend spinning record after record during the New Year's birth with soothing lights and love. Dub Side of the Moon received monstrous play time and it makes you so happy.
The All-Stars HAVE to be huge Dark Side fans, because this album is nothing but a labor of love.
ENJOY!
