Art Of The Underground (2012)Another single from the great Art of The Underground 7" Series, this one from a band call Deep Pockets. I'd never heard of them prior to this 7", but they deal in a currency I appreciate; Noisy 90s influenced indie rock. "Knitting Circle" is a pretty good song, chugging along with a good chorus and some chunky guitar riffs, but unfortunately the band ruins it with a totally unnecessary breakdown toward the end that literally starts with the lyrics "Here's the serious part of the song." I then falls into a spoken word mess. The B-side is a Silkworm cover, "Wet Firecracker." Though it mostly makes me think I really need to go back and check out Silkworm again, because this song rules.There some hits and some misses with the Art Of The Underground series, this one being kind of in the middle, but whenever I see a package from them in the mail, I'm always very glad I'm a subscriber.Deep Pockets - Knitting Circle 7":deeppockets.bandcamp.com/track/knitting-circle
First of all the packing method outlined in part 1 of this update worked. The B-bag provided an effective single bag to transport my bike and most of my clothing and other needs for the trip and it also provided a holdall for my stuff which strapped easily onto my seatpost rack as planned. Other Bromptonists have checked for me and reckon it would also strap across the Brompton rack, if you have one, without heelstrike. My more valuable or fragile kit went into the C-bag which also functioned as a cabin bag and for everyday use as a daybag-cum-briefcase at my destinations. I was pleasantly surprised at the stability of the bag when strapped onto my seatpost rack and I would be more willing to cycle a good distance with it than I had expected. I did one short rural ride of around 3 hours and was not aware of the bag at all.
