The Di(e) In Indiana
These lyrics need a country twang and steady drumbeat, jumping to a fast paced guitar with multiple harmonies. Playfully flirty yet with a confident strength. She changed once to accommodate love and struggles with maintaining her own identity while still feeling pulled into his charms. She knows better and is determined to remind herself that she wants more than what he offers.

Why I Am Fine With Second Hand Vinyl
Introduction Several years ago my friend Marek at RPM in Newcastle persuaded me to buy a second-hand reconditioned record player. I was impressed by the looks and sound, he came and set it up and since then my vinyl record collection has increased significantly.

In the heart of the city, two rival musicians are about to face off in a competition of their lives. The city of Eastwood had always been a place where talent collided with opportunity, but nothing ever captured the public’s attention quite like the annual "Beat Battle." It was a competition that drew aspiring musicians from all corners of the city, where the winner earned a contract with one of the most prestigious record labels in the country. This year, the battle had two competitors who were destined to change the game forever: Jayden and Mia.

My Harvest Vinyl Collection
Introduction I can't remember for certain the first Harvest record that I bought. My brother bought "Black Night" by Deep Purple and I then bought "In Rock" because both records shared the song "Speed King" which I always wanted to sing live, but, so far, have not had the opportunity. "In Rock" is back in my vinyl collection along with the ones I have included in the lead photograph, and this is a playlist of songs from Harvest Label records that are in my vinyl collection.
