There were a couple of Dischord releases that I wanted to buy in recent months, and I kept waiting until there were a couple more so that I could justify placing an order. Finally I got around to it...
The record that I wanted most was the latest album from Soulside, 'A Brief Moment In The Sun'. This first came out in 2022 on black vinyl only, and at the time I really wanted it, but I assumed that if I bought one then eventually a second pressing on colour vinyl would come out, and I'd have to buy it again. So I decided to just wait for a second press on colour vinyl and as I expected / hoped, a couple of years later it appeared.
I saw this band play last year in London (I had also seen them play in the same venue five years previous, just before Covid hit), and I genuinely cannot remember if they played anything from this record or not. But the show served as a good reminder as to how great this band is, and it made me keen to check out the latest record.
Even though I only just got around to picking up the vinyl for this one, I downloaded it back in January, and it has probably been the record that I have played the most this year. What does it matter that this is two years old, that the band formed in 1986, and this record was their first full length since 1989? Sometimes time is meaningless.
