in winter..
.. it's like drinking black coffee trying to stay warm and keeping the cold out. the rain falls, the wind blows. some of you even get to see snow.in autumn..
.. it's a backyard in the suburbs, and hundreds leaves covering the green grass.in summer..
.. it's a night-time thing. out on the balcony (porch) with some beers and your friends.in spring..
.. it's the hope for a brighter day.

The C-Minus Project
Long Drive Home
mono.net
Lo-fi, independent music productions often have the densest souls. It's the purest music you can get, done simply for the love of it. Long drive home is a great example of this. Simple yet meaningful songs, executed with a guitar, a voice and not much else provide a wonderfully refreshing respite from some of the recent slightly over-produced limey recordings.
This record isn't going to make you want to get up and dance around like a fool. They're not really the kind of happy pop songs that makes you want to sing along either. Songs such as Birthday, which sounds as if it were recorded after a couple of pints of melancholy, and, You're Home, I'm home encourage the grey matter to think and reflect. Twenty-nine minutes isn't such a long drive home, but it's certainly enough time to let the C-minus project get inside and start you remembering things.
