"it's alive" is the best record the Ramones ever did tho.
likewise for cheap trick / live at the budokan
live albums are good when, to their own devices, the band would like to get rid of some the murk in the studio (i.e. the best bits)
I do tend to prefer drinking at home because that way I can listen to music I like and chuckle at how clever and witty my thoughts are in peace
I've been to a few pubs since the move and my main reflection is there's:
-less of a gakky mood than in London. You really notice how gakky London...
Apologies if this point has already been made, this thread is v long and I've not been able to follow it ever day.
But it struck me that just at the point that humans had pretty much "defeated" covid as an existential threat, we've got a whole new one to unite around, talk to each other on...
I was ranting about this to my mate the other day. How the digitisation of our lives has just led to crushing constant fucking admin rather than being liberated by technology. It was sparked by me having a free afternoon in London so I thought I'd pop into the national gallery for a bit. But...
He doesn't look great at the moment does he? He's got that coke bloat face that makes you look in the mirror and think, yeah better rein it in a bit. Take a few months off
David Patreus was on the BBC last night saying much the same thing. He was like "they haven't even got many missiles! Pathetic! You should have seen how many missiles we rolled into Kuwait with back in the day, oh boy. These kids are amateurs"

Kinda on topic...I hurt my back a little over the first lockdown period in spring 2020. Usual shit of working in bed, bad posture, must have been millions who fucked their back at the same time.
Anyway obviously doctors weren't taking face to face appointments then so I had a phone...
I started this, thinking about the reasons why some people might not like me. And then I thought nah they're just being whiny little bitches, I'm great let's be real
I'm a huge fan then.
Wikipedia says it's an aphrodisiac
I've only ever drunk it when I'm so hungover that any such activity is strictly off the cards tho
I'm not in London anymore but theres generally quite a bit of stuff going on around south bermondsey I think? The penarth st centre
Do the warehouses around mansion House still have raves on?
Yeah some of the best raves I've ever been to there. In my hazy memory it felt a bit like someones front room? Like there were tellies and book shelves and stuff scattered around.
