Music: Old Favourites in the New Year

West London. Staines to be specific. Travelling backward near four years in time to enjoy an aural visit with a quartet of handsome young gentlemen called HARD-Fi. Years and years later, I still love this disc, so much so, I suggested it for purchase and it was deemed sharp enough for the vast collection of music compact discs here at our favourite local library.

Periodically, I need to put some pep in my step. And dancing around to a mixture of Brit Rock (it really does have a sound distinct from that of the North American market) is just the ticket. The album Stars Of CCTV blends an assortment of ska and punk influences, with a curious mixture of disco and orchestral arrangements thrown in for good measure. This debut album does rock and roll, all songs melding well into one musical collage of varied tempos. The lyrics are fun, filled with interesting tales and stories, complementing the music in a most meticulous manner.

These few words are just to whet your appetite for the vast supply of groovy views, news and reviews of things favourite and things new coming up in this wonderful year. We, the Staff Bloggers, here at the Eleanor London Côte Saint-Luc Public Library look forward to filling up your hearts and minds with many marvellous things. Stop by, say hello and let us know what you think of the Blog.
