The first song I remember hearing
I first remember connecting with Knowing Me, Knowing You by Abba because it has such a haunting, melancholy vibe. The sound and the eyeshadow set a blueprint in my fevered baby brain.
The first single I bought
They would sell off all the old singles from the jukebox at my local newsagent in a giant bin. I bought Senses Working Overtime by XTC and played it so obsessively I nearly wore it out.
