ALL BACK TO MY PLACE
THE STARS REVEAL THE SONIC DELIGHTS GUARANTEED TO GET THEM GOING...
Gina Birch
RAINCOAT, FILMMAKER, ARTIST
What music are you currently grooving to?
Always Bob Dylan. I went to see Cat Power at the Royal Albert Hall very recently. She was singing her versions of the songs Dylan performed at the Royal Albert Hall in 1966. I was entranced at every moment. Oh, and Arthur Russell, more and more.
What, if push comes to shove, is your all-time favourite album?
The Velvet Underground & Nico. The glorious rich textures, the drones, the guitar melodies, unlike any others, the lyrics, the sweetness, the bitterness, the glory.
What was the first record you ever bought? And where did you buy it?
Herman’s Hermits’ No Milk Today in Nottingham town centre, in Woolworths. “The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn” feels like heartbreak in suburban gloom!
