 Welcome to B Side, the mini series from through the Creative Door. Join Alexis and Sam as they dive into the timeless world of vinyl. For Alexis, vinyl was more than music, it was a Sunday ritual she shared with her dad, listening, talking, and soaking in the stories behind each album and the artwork on every sleeve. Though her dad is no longer with us, she continues this tradition with her friend Sam Timmerman. Join them as they share their passion for vinyl and the stories is records hold. 

 

Hello brother. 

 

Good afternoon. How are you? 

 

I'm very well. How are you? 

 

Very well. I'm enjoying your new scene. There's a little bit of a new background behind Alexis in the video version of this episode. 

 

Yes. Well, it's just 'cause that's where my computer was set up. 

 

Don't give away the secret. 

 

All right, I'm gonna start our timer.

 

10 minutes. This is what we do, 10 minutes to talk about a new vinyl record. And this one, I'm very excited, I'm sharing. This is uh, Tom Allen Graham and his beautiful jazz trio record called Lake Tires, 

 

and I believe that you have some connection to this. 

 

Actually, I have a couple of connections. One, I went to school with Tom and was friends with his sister.

 

Fantastic. And also Lake Tires is a place in East Gippsland back where I grew up. 

 

That's where y'all come from. 

 

It is, yes. Well, I grew up in Paynesville, but Lake Ty is probably about 45 an hour away. So yeah, a place I've spent a lot of time in my childhood. 

 

And it looks beautiful in, at least in the photo of, 

 

well, this, the beautiful thing about the photo is, yeah, it is Lake Lake Tires.

 

It's exactly what it looks like, so it's amazing. Um, I also love that, uh, Tom himself did the artwork and design for this record. Which is really, really pretty. 

 

Very cool. Now we need to know a little bit more about Tom as well, because he is, like you say, Victorian artist graduated from Victorian College of the Arts, I believe in 2011.

 

Yes. Very talented bear. Let's get into it. Okay, so I'm gonna start my. Top pick so difficult, so, so difficult to choose. This whole entire jazz record is just seriously, feels like a warm hug. It is restrained, it sets a beautiful mood. It just feels very comfy. Um, but my top pick would have to be tracks called Lake Tires.

 

So same title as the record. It is super groovy. It's super comfy. I just love how it builds. I love Tom's guitar at the end. It's really special. It's like, you know, the icing on the cake. I don't know. I just, I, I, I've always had a soft spot for jazz records and, and this is no exception.
