‘I’ve been listening to 300 vinyl records to get me through lockdown’on March 6, 2021 at 12:26 am

Listening to all her records took Anna Doble back to her youth – releasing memories and emotions.

At university I had the best job, probably ever, writing reviews for Leeds Student newspaper. This meant free music, free gigs and free pizza. I met lots of musicians I loved too, from the Super Furry Animals to Moby, via Stereolab, Goldfrapp and Saint Etienne, my desert island band. It’s June 2000, I’ve just interviewed them, and I’m in the crowd at a sweaty Leeds Met.
