Song of the Day: "Where the Wind Blows"

I was happy to hear a new Villagers song the other day, only to discover it was new Sea Wolf from the "Back to Black Friday" Record Store Day back in November. Record Store Day is a celebration of independent record stores and the day itself is a major dilemma for hipsters: limited releases give the day an importance that they're too cool to actually care about (I'm sure many of them go "ironically" [the hipster version of a "Get Out of Jail Free" card] and also buy used vinyl from Coolio or The Jets to help mask their purchase of some Pixies b-side that's been remastered and remixed).

Regardless, I like the song, which was a double a-side with "Song of the Magpie" (or it's the b-side), released on 45. Who still has the ability to play a 45, show of hands? (I am sooo happy with the digital media world, only because I don't have to find the little center thing to hold the 45.)
