"The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already left town
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts" ?♥️?

Bookwomble I don't have a favourite track from this album, they're all gold, but "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" is an amazing narrative song, and I have happy memories of singing this one with the kids on long drives. https://youtu.be/agdoeRpTfHg?si=rGms72Z7Yjwa_Hda 8mo

This is the only vinyl record in my house. Alas I do not own a record player, but my daughter does! We both love Rod Stewart. This is a gift for her.
There is a Spotify playlist that lists every single song mentioned in the book.
As per ‘The forensic records society‘ rules there shall be no comments or judgements passed on the book. 🤣🤣🤣

so-so

This is an odd little book. I've seen it described as 'High Fidelity crossed with Animal Farm' and 'Animal Farm but with blokes instead of pigs', but it was a pretty oblique allegory for me. I found the characters unlikeable and a bit one dimensional - do they not have jobs? Do they do anything other than listen to records and go to the pub? It's entertaining enough, but I just didn't quite get it.

The headline of The Guardian review of Mills' novel reads, “This deceptively slim novel about blokes at a pub vinyl night could be read as a disguised retelling of the Russian revolution, or any great human falling out.“ Really? Yes, really! I would add that it is quite funny. FRS, is about two music loving friends who decide to start a weekly “listening society“ in the back of their local pub. The narrator's friend James soon proves himself👇

vivastory to be an intractable authoritarian & splinter record societies pop up due to his difficult behavior. I greatly enjoyed this novel & in the spirit of the attendees of the FRS who bring 3 7 inch singles to their weekly meetings, I have created a Forensic Records Spotify Playlist of my 3 favorite songs released this year. I have not included any from Sharon Van Etten as her latest is my favorite album of the year & to difficult to select from. Arcade 3y

vivastory Fire's Lightning I/Lightning II is 2 tracks on their album but it is played on the radio as 1 track. James would probably take issue with this liberty with the rules & I would be banned from the group, forced to join a breakaway Record Society. Link to my FRS Playlist:
