Hello dears! First of all, I'd like to apologize for the delay of this post, it was supposed to come last week, but I had some internet connection issues and decided to only post when it was resolved. So here it is, I'm posting it exactly as I wrote for last week.

Well, it is clearly taking me longer to decide how to make this post than it would to write the whole thing (and the title is an extract of a song I'll mention, just to illustrate the fact ^ ^). And that is because I have a special feature for it!

A few months ago, my friend Fran introduced me to Sam Beeton's music, and to his very interesting way of delivering it. And who is Sam Beeton, and what is this interesting way, you may ask...well, Sam is this lovely British singer and song writer

(Unfolded Magazine, check the link for the complete interview - from Sam's facebook page)

And his music delivery system is Record Club, of which I've been a most delighted member since June 2011.

Through Record Club, instead of waiting for a year to get a common 12 track disc, you will receive one cd with new tracks every month with a customized cover. I've only started when it was already on volume 6, but when you subscribe somewhere along the way like I did, you will receive another cd with all the previously realesed tracks.

Sam always adds a drawing, stamp, or some other kind of artsy thing on the back of the covers, along with your name and a signature. And more than that, he is a sweetheart and always welcomes the new Record Clubers through his twitter and facebook ♥

For every release, there's also a video about it, like this

He creates delightful folk music, which he writes himself. I really liked it when I heard it for the first time (Rain Down On You) and completely fell in love with it when I got to hear Sweet Luigi (my first favourite, which now goes along toe to toe with My Doll and Never Know Love). It’s a soft, cheerful sound that always gives me a light, breezy feeling like the one you get in a perfect summer day (like this ^ ^). It always makes me smile.

I'm in the hopes of seeing him live soon, with Fran ;) (well, it's probably not that soon, but we're planning ^ ^)

And according to Sam’s twitter, Record Club series 2 is already in the oven! So you should stop trying to make sense of this description I just gave, and enjoy the chance of getting this new batch right on its beginning and experiencing yourself ;) I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much.
