Beast of Burden
A couple of years ago I was working with a childhood friend in a job that involved driving the length and breadth of the country Monday to Friday, which meant we had a lot of time to kill on the road. After enduring months of his Spotify playlist of 2010 era Youngsta dubstep, I attempted to play him a playlist of Italo-Disco. After three songs he said it was shit and turned it off. I asked him what was wrong with it and he said that, to him, it sounded like a karoke night for 50-somethings in a pub in Swansea. I told him to try and imagine being on holiday in the south of Spain during the 1980s and dancing late at night with the girl of his dreams at a beachside disco but he wasn't having it. So we reverted to listening to his drudgy dubstep and being reminded of Bristol as an aesthetic manfestation till I left the company a few months later.

All other points aside, why Swansea?

The Party never ends.
Sourpuss forfeits smile bonus.

We all work in The Last Resort
with donkey tail pinned to uniform and the Fun never ends
and the Big Wheel never stops turning
and the Big Eye never shuts.

"Sunny Side Up!"
As day begins happiness is a decision. We will be children all our lives.
We are the Machine's smiling faces we are it's friendly voice.

POINT OF SALE

The product is a red herring, a tattered pamphlet, a ragged page, a threadbare excuse,
a Xerox of a Xerox, walk with a wiggle, earn it.

years ago i was helping a guy make a film and the job was to find groups of young muslim lads and hang out with them, write reports for him. i had a good few days, just pissing about, but they also took me to mosque and got me to do all the stuff, all of a sudden i knew loads of people in my area and was getting a lot more hellos. it all stopped when i was really drunk one afternoon with some other friends and went over to them, plus the film thing fell through as well. but yeah, interesting experience
half the people on the internet are looking for an equivalent to what you were getting out of the mosque I think
