“Hanging
Hanging
Hanging
Hanging from your climbing frames
Swinging in the gallows
Laughing with your buddies
But you can drown when you're shallow”

Dexy’s-There, There, My Dear (1980)

Love Kevin Rowland’s swagger.
One time at 8AM I’m wandering bleary eyed to work and there’s Kevin Rowland outside a venue next door he was playing that evening, already suited and booted to the nines, amazing hat, taking in the sights.

“Now little Jimmy's gone
He disappeared one day
But no one saw the ambulance
That took little Jim away”

“You are dust and to dust you shall return”
The cleric formed the mark of the cross on her forehead while she contemplated where on his body the first blow should fall, each of the following, and, after the last, where to hide the corpse once the dust has settled.

Probably explains why the nutters in my country want to restore it to a patch from the nineteen fifties.

Sonic Youth-Teenage Riot (1988)

I’d dropped out of uni.
Got a crappy job with a long commute to a Portakabin in an unbuilt Canary Wharf but I had a Walkman and Daydream Nation on tape and I had this fucking song.
I could walk through walls with this fucking song.

And then I opened a letter from HMRC saying I needed to pay an extra £800 in tax so… nice while the good luck lasted.

Some bug has managed to bite me right on my ja… ahem… meatus and it had my mind flashing back to a really weird sex scene in “Miss Smilla’s Feeling For Snow”.

I could readily knock these off in the morning before my working day has started but now they #clash with the braindead husk left behind after that work has ended.

Here, enjoy the braincrumbs.

Just got the vimeo link thanks to you answering my question and I put up the transcript. Rather delightfully it converted RHLSTP into Rahal Stepper who sounds like a real 21st century go getter.

Bit of a crazy morning. Every year I get letters about a pension fund I paid into for about three months 20 years ago. I thought there was probably a few hundred in it so maybe worth cashing in or transferring to current pension.

Glad I checked.

£47,500.

Compound interest is a thing.

Police-Spirits In The Material World (1981)

The drums are godly. The hats intricate plus the platonic ideal of what a snare should sound like. Great production; room to let us actually hear everything.

Copeland said it was the hardest Police song to play, all upbeats.
