Now playing (with great satisfaction) - The Avalanches' Since I Left You on vinyl.
Ordered July 24th, 2016, this has been the longest stretch of anticipation in recent memory but today it finally reached its conclusion.
Placed my order from a shop the UK. Arrived damaged. Returned overseas with receipts signed in triplicate. Sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters until FINALLY TODAY I received a clean copy.
And thus ends my post-modern interpretive reenactment of
Around the World in 80 Days.
(Count 'em. 80 to the very hour.)
Bloody hell.
