Notes for Sam & Alexis:

 

00:09 - Introduction (Announcement)

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 these records hold. 

 

00:44 - Sam (Host)

Hello brother, Good afternoon, how are we? 

 

00:48 - Alexis (Host)

Good how you doing. 

 

00:50 - Sam (Host)

Warm. It's a sunny 30 million something degrees in Perth. 

 

00:55 - Alexis (Host)

Perth, it's not. 

 

00:56 - Sam (Host)

Perth, it's hotness. We take it because it's meant to be winter and it's great to have glorious weather. Still, how are you? 

 

01:02 - Alexis (Host)

I am good, my, my love. I love that you're having your Melbourne vibes joining me in the black attire. 

 

01:10 - Sam (Host)

I was just gonna say Melbourne vibes for those listening, only we're just wearing black we're all wearing black. 

 

01:16 - Alexis (Host)

I mean, black is my mo, that is, that is the staple of my wardrobe. But for you, my friend, you are one of the most colourful people I know. Your wardrobe is lovely patterns and lovely colours I love it. 

 

01:31 - Sam (Host)

What can I say? I'm in my Wednesday phase at the moment. I love this, that's a multi-layered reference for those who get it. 

 

01:40 - Alexis (Host)

All right, what have you got for us this week? 

 

01:46 - Sam (Host)

I'm super excited because this one arrived much faster than I thought. It's Gavin Bowles and the Distractions, a little power pop band from Sydney, and it's the album Phoning It In, which I'm holding up right now for the camera. And it is a very special one because I got excited. I was looking online and the sticker said limited edition pink vinyl. And I went I must and so I got it and it looks like this oh my goodness, for those listening, it is bright look at the color of this thing right, oh yeah. 

 

02:30

Well, that's their branding colors, right if bubblegum had a baby with a unicorn, this is what it would look like it looks amazing and it is, oh, it's so pretty see again visual media yeah, but also it circles back to what I said about you love colour. 

 

02:45 - Alexis (Host)

True, very true. 

 

02:49 - Sam (Host)

Have we put on our 10-minute timer yet? 

 

02:51 - Alexis (Host)

I did. I did a sneaky put it on while you were doing show and tell. 

 

02:58 - Sam (Host)

Yeah, so Gavin Bowles and the Distractions from Sydney, distractions from Sydney um, the full disclosure on this one. I listened to this record a couple of times at home, but majority of the listening I did was in the car, driving to and from many things. And it's such good driving music. This is just so much fun. I was listening to the other day and I went this is just a strange conglomeration, cross of and I'll say this, cross of green day and okay go. This is where my mind went with this thing. It's just if green day had listened to okay go for six months and decided they would turn their distortion pedals off, this is what that would sound like. It's so much fun. 

 

03:49 - Alexis (Host)

I actually find this album is actually a vibe t
