Another week, another hit at the candy store. I have beside me a big ‘ol bag of Chews, atomic fireballs and double bubbles. So gross, but so good.
Atomic fireballs are neither as large nor atomic as I remember. Disappointment, yes.

That is the name of this German CDR compilation I just got from Brad that has a Lake Holiday song on it. It’s a demo, mind you, with just him playing. I think I have the track on a demo disc somewhere… it’s Beach Boys-meets-Jesus And Mary Chain sounding. I’d like to add it to the repetoire sooner rather than later. But either way, it’s something else to add to the official discography. Too bad the burn isn’t terrific – it’s skipping on my stereo CD player.
Rehearsal went well tonight, first time with everyone in this latest iteration of Lake Holiday present. Clicked pretty well – we were sounding pretty good. Laura picked up on all the material really quickly, having an actual musical education must help. That rehearsal space is pretty cramped for five people with gear though. Must get a fan or something in there, cause it stinks after a couple hours.
I got every streetcar and subway this evening, took me barely 10 minutes to get down to the space and back. Fantastic.

The Days Of Our Nights
Been giving this Luna album a critical reassessment lately. I had been lukewarm to it for the longest time – liked some of it, indifferent to some of it, but for some reason since Romantica came out I’ve been appreciating the contrasts between the two. Where Romantica is summer-y and bouncy (as bouncy as Luna can get, anyway), TDOON is more reserved, but in a stately sort of way. Summer, winter. On it’s own, I didn’t quite get it but as a companion piece to Romantica, it’s superb.
All these superfreaky memories…
Gotta wonder about the implied sensitivity of listening to this Soft Boys song all day today, of all days. But you know what? There’s enough people being sombre today, no one needs another thimbleful in an ocean of tears.
A very strange day – partly from being totally exhausted after last night’s escapades (yeah, movie and a concert now qualifies in my book as ‘escapades’), I’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop all day. Checking news sites round the clock, expecting to discover something horrible has happened but finding only memorials and tributes, all the while refusing to turn on the television…
Kept banker’s summer hours at work today… in at 10, out at 3. I simply couldn’t focus on much for reasons stated above. Came home, crashed for a couple hours… and not just a power nap – crashed HARD.
