Hello, hi – I see you are perplexed by the relative silence on the blog over the past few (many?) months BUT what if I told you this silence is JUST AN ILLUSION as is the date on this blog post, because I am in fact living in March 2018, not March 2019 as you have so falsely assumed, and so are you (you just don’t know it yet).
Forget March 2018, I’m living in 1994 for the rest of my life via Chrome Neon Jesus, the album that I haven’t yet turned off loop. My partner whose primary language is NOT english is now fluent and also contaminated as he cannot stop himself from shrieking along the lyrics with me, so thank you Teenage Wrist for the language course, highly recommended to all non-native English speakers and available at the low, low price of 8 USD (booster pack expected to come along later this year).
Yeah I haven’t listened to an album so diligently on repeat since I was 15, and rightly so because that is the recommended listening format. Back when they made CDs you could read this rule in the fine print under the technical info that nobody read and that’s why you didn’t already know this.
One minor side effect that I have discovered, however, is the corresponding urge to listen to Swervedriver who I now realise I didn’t really appreciate until Teenage Wrist came along, so maybe share the royalties from Duel around?
I have not yet got around to scratching the Swervedriver itch. I’ll consider it in another 25 years when I arrive in 2019. Don’t tell me what happens though.
