…the air the air is everywhere.
That’s what I’ve been singing the last days. The song is called Air and it’s from the musical Hair. The broadway version. I found the vinyl last year but I didn’t really have the time to listen to it since I left that soon after that. But now that record is almost the only thing I listen to.
I don’t have that many vinyl records but if I find someone I like I buy it. This summer I’ve bought around ten of them. Among them two Pink Floyd and one Thin Lizzy. Really enjoy them.
But to confess… my sweetheart in the collection is Ben Harper’s Fight For Your Mind. That album has even given it’s name to this blog. I found the record in a vinyl shop in Lyon, France. I found three albums I really wanted. (ok I’m pretty sure that if I had stayed a little longer I could have found more) Anyhoo, it was a Blondie greatest hits, Patty Smith and Ben Harper.
And I went for the double LP with Mr. Harper. And I am soo happy for that. Now that man knows how to deliver.

Listen to Please Bleed, Another Lonely Day and Burn One Down. Then come back and tell me what you think.
