Side 4 of a three sided album. “est vere malus”translated “it was bad”. Evidently was the response Fletch would use when people asked “How was the show”. #MomentoMori #DepecheMode @depechemode #RecordCollection #Ipswich (at Ipswich, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqUH4TLJSJ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Depeche Mode, Momento Mori. Somber, reflective, yet a beautiful tribute to Fletch. #RecordCollection #vinyl #Album #Ipswich @depechemode #DepecheMode #MomemtoMori #DaveGahan #MartinGore #AndrewFletcher (at Ipswich, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOcYklvvGI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my favorite albums of the 90’s was “Apartment Life” by Ivy. Ivy was, at the core, comprised of singer Dominique Durand, Andy Chase & Adam Schlesinger (he of Fountains Of Wayne & Tinted Windows, as well as an accomplished producer). Described as “casually sophisticated”, it was was breezy & Durand’s French accented vocals created a relaxed vibe. Nice to see it reissued after 25 years on special white #vinyl . Chris Botti & James Iha also guest on two tracks each. #Ivy #DominiqueDurand #AdamSchlesinger #AndyChase #ApartmentLife #RecordCollection #album #Ipswich @barnonerecords (at Ipswich, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxuEW1OEbh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
