Chris's Session - Sep 2026
We explored musical lineage and bifurcation, early‑career love turning into later‑career disappointment, and the struggle of trying (and failing) to pass our favourite albums on to family.
commentsI made the big mistake of popping in to see Smithies at “Family Jewels Records” at the Freehouse this afternoon. Hey, we were just going for a pint, chunky sandwich and some of Steve’s famous chips.
I had a fucking field day!!!! Aside from several big beautiful, freshly minted copies (I don’t usually go for the old worn outs) of various “must have on vinyl’ records, I picked up the biggest ‘must have” of all!
Jonathan Richmond’s “The Modern Lovers” is a bona fide classic. I haven’t seen this on vinyl for many a year. There it was with my name on it. I left Smithies pumping out “Astral Plane”.
A very surreal and satisfying afternoon. I think the pint of 208/18 APA might have helped!
