Disgruntled Boys, Whores & Petrol Samosas
.1. I pulled out all of my U2 CDs and loaded them into my iTunes. While doing this, I found that I had two copies of the Achtung Baby CD.
And then I remembered why.
I pulled out the inside covers and found a note in the proper one.
While in 4th year university, I was given this second copy of the CD from a boy whose initial I won’t even place on this blog. He was…a little agitated with me…and decided that:
“Maha:
Tracks 5, 6 and 11 should be your national anthem.”
Respectively, he’s talking about:
Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
So Cruel
&
Acrobat
My initial thought was: Can I have three anthems?
And then I contemplated: Should he have an ‘s’ at the end of ‘anthem'?
Today I’m thinking: He must have really disliked me.
Anyone want a used Achtung Baby CD? (Disgruntled Note included.)
.2. I’ve recently thought about Damiana and the 90 year old in Garcia Marquez’s Memories of My Melancholy Whores, and unlike my initial impression, I gotta tell ‘ya…I’m not all too pleased with either of these characters at the moment.
It really must have been my mood and the atmosphere, because now I think: Damiana’s an idiot for loving anyone for 20 weeks, let alone 20 years (!), who couldn’t love her back; and the 90 year old is just a coward.
“We would have made a good team”; Who takes themselves seriously enough to say shit like that? Not even characters in books should be so imbecilic.
And apparently, I need a little more romance in my life.
Erm. I still do recommend you read the book. If not for anything, the writing is beautiful (or, I should write: the translation is beautiful).
.3. Remember the dudes who gave you my last musical recommendation?
Michael, who is a part of Petrol Bomb Samosa sent me an e-mail, thanking me for mentioning them (how kind!) and pointing me to their home on the interWeb (www.downdogrecords.com): Down Dog Records.
Go take a peek & make certain to listen to the mp3s; these guys are brilliant!
Support them by purchasing from them directly…
.4. The Philosopher Kings are finally working on new tunes (finally!).
In preparation for what will hopefully be an excellent new set from these masters, download The New Messiah (but not the live version). It’s good for nights like tonight, when the wind’s rattling your windows…
