Buried Treasure
As you can imagine coming back to work after a whole week off means I have a mountain of shit to deal with and a looming deadline next week so the pages and pages of new posts I've started writing will have to wait even longer to be finished. I'm going to call myself a Slow Blogger from now on, it sounds so much better than "lazy bastard".
While I was at home last week I did some digging around in the neglected corners of my record collection and pulled out some albums I probably haven't played in over 20 years, specifically the sort of gloomy post-punk I used to listen to when I was a tortured teen and these days wouldn't play when the wife and kid were in the house. In the process I rediscovered a few real gems of album tracks I'd forgotten all about. Why, I almost felt 18 again, but without the black clothes and severe haircut.

My word, old lad .. these are a bat up the kilt on a cold morning!
Picture shows a young Jimmy Greaves about to score.
What a coincidence. As an even slower blogger I can't even find the enthusiasm to write a post at the moment. I went through some old mp3s the other day looking for inspiration and almost posted 'Red Light' from Kaleidoscope (actually my favourite Siouxsie LP) and considered a track from Reel to Real Cacophony but couldn't find the words to go with them. Haven't got any ACR so not that much of a coincidence.
sextet still gets pulled out regularly round here - always a good excuse to get out the big shorts vests and whistles
