#NowSpinning Noise Addict - Young And Jaded (1994)
After 2 years as a group, 2 singles, & 2 EPs, the title could be true of a now 16 year old Ben Lee & his Aussie bandmates. This slacker #indiepop EP came out stateside on Grand Royal, leading to Lee's first solo LP #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

Christ, this hits so hard, @benleemusic.bsky.social. I've listened to it five times in a row now, crying most of the time. "What was all that dreaming for?"

30 years ago today, Ben Lee released debut LP “Grandpaw Would.” They labeled you most likely to succeed. Watch MAGNET television episode w/ @benleemusic.bsky.social & read our cover Q&A w/ Ben by actress @rosebyrne.bsky.social:

Oddly packed boxes from home come at you fast. Spot the wee @benleemusic.bsky.social for bonus points. Also, and I cannot emphasize this enough, that Muppets notebook is where my parents kept a record of all my bowel movements, sleeping hours, and nursing times in 1980. I…did not need that.

What a privilege to see @benleemusic.bsky.social in Canberra tonight! An astonishingly generous performer, who took my shouted request for “bring my body home“ noting only that as far as he recalled the correct title was “ship my body home“.
