Stylusboy's Favourite Record: Everybody Says That You're So Fragile

In the run up to Record Store Day, we will be running a series of posts featuring various members of the Lazy Acre Family talking about their favourite records. This installment features Stylusboy who tells us about his love of Idlewild...

I remember first hearing about Idlewild from a magazine when they had played an In The City event and everyone was talking about how crazy they were but also if they actaully had songs or were just a live band to watch. At the time I was working in a record shop on Saturdays and so I bought Satan Polaroid on 7" and then all the other singles from that first album.



What I love at about this record is the energy but also the feeling of totally being in the band, you can imagine them playing it in a tiny little room with the guys recording it smiling all over their faces. I really like the styling of this cover and the whole image of each single being pretty similar. I have a big love for Idlewild. I have seen them a nunber of times. From the early days where they just went mad and jumped all over the place to more recent shows where Roddy sings amazingly well with the soulful tunes.

Stylusboy will be streaming a live set on this minisite from 8pm this evening and will be releasing a specially recorded single "Jigsaw" at the conclusion of his set
