So, I was all set to close up shop early today and board a flight down south to New Orleans. That is, until I woke up with my throat on fire, chills, aches, etc. Trip: off.
And that my friends, is bullshit.
What's not bullshit however is TVD's second annual look back at The Beatles' Fan Club Records simply because I can't think of anything more cheery and seasonal.

Hey, thanks for this share.
Any chance of re-upping last year's Beatles Fanclub Records links? They're all dead.
Thanks.
Finding new music, especially music as creative and evocative as that of Caravan Palace (thanks for posting it BTW), is like being transported to another place and another time. The music begins by getting the listener's attention, sometimes like a whispered secret and sometimes like a slap in the face.
Once the listener is hooked, the music weaves its magic: the outside world fades away and the listener is drawn further inward, closer to the music. And the memories.
A childhood memory, a fragment of a moment faded but suddenly lit by a warming sun. The bitter taste of lost love and a broken heart. Or even of a place longed for but never reached: France in the 20s, America in the 1960s, or London during the war (I still cry when I hear Blue Birds of Dover, which popped up unexpectedly in a movie this week).
Old new music is especially comforting. Like finding a forgotten favorite sweater when rummaging through boxes, rediscovered music bridges the span between who we were and who we've become. It provides the perspective that only comes with time, telescoping the space of our live. We see who we were like a distant star whose light reaches us in the clear night sky though it has long since burned out.
And as the song fades, newly discovered music reminds us that the world is much bigger than we think and there is always a reason to keep exploring.
OH YES PLEASE, PLEASE (me) RE-UP:
