about
Singer-Songwriter Ian McGlynn puts his bewitching balladry and waltzy wonderfulness on the back burner in favor of some straight-up, hook-laden synth-pop.
Following on the heels of his piano-driven album, This Is The Sound, and a slew of like-minded singles, Ian’s latest batch of songs plumb everyone’s second favorite decade – the eighties – for inspiration.
Nostalgic new wavey sounds collide with cute-as-cool indie sensibilities that make the dying world of radio feel alive again.
Whatever damage video inflicted on the radio star, it hardly compares to what digital has done to the record store. We’re not complaining exactly—after all, we love our blogs and mp3s as much as the next band—but we do very much miss the days of congregating at the record store and going through the bins. And this is our wistful spin on remembering. It’s also our way of saying, Happy Record Store Day!

LYRICS:
My dad bought me your vinyl back in ‘82.
Read your liner notes the whole way through.
After side one but before side two.
Ooh.
Had a crush on a girl that worked at Record Nation.
Bought her each and every recommendation.
Finally kissed her thanks to The Cure’s Disintegration.
Ooh.
I wonder where she is today.
I wonder where she is today.
Digital killed the record store.
Digital killed the record store.
I bought your CD back in 1998.
Because of that one song on that one mix tape.
But now I’m downloading your latest heartbreak.
Ooh.
You’ve always been the soundtrack to my life.
And now you’re the largest folder on my hard drive.
The record store has closed ‘cos we’re all online.
Ooh.
I wonder where she is today.
I wonder where she is today.
Digital killed the record store.
Digital killed the record store.
Upon further reflection, I’m keeping my record collection.
Oh God, what do we do with our record collections? Ooh.
Digital killed the record store.
Digital killed the record store.
Digital killed the record store.
Digital killed the record store.
