alt_pansyI have an enormous box chock full of records.
The bands have names like Nirvana and Soundgarden and Foo Fighters and Talking Heads and Bashtung and Noir Desir and Mano Negra and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Poison and Metallica, and they all look utterly wild.
It's taken ages to get together. I had to get in touch with a shop in Paris who could understand what I wanted, and I hardly knew where to begin, so we started just sort of exchanging information about the top ten hits on the radio in France and America and went from there. And apparently, most people don't really listen to records any more, so while they make some for novelty, it's actually sort of difficult to find records of recently made music. They had something called tapes for a while, but now it's disques compactes or somesuch, and we needed a special machine to play them with electricity and batteries and things, so they had to track down the actual records, and they're here! It's like Christmas.
You'd better believe they'll be on our radio soon enough. But first, there'll be a rather massive listening party at Hogwarts.
