Sucks to be 45 and out of shape. Just rode my bike, and it KILLED me.

I know I need to do it more, and it won’t be so bad, but I’m just not good at forcing myself to take a step like that. We’ll see how it goes

My Life with the Ghosts of Bush

Filed under: coolness, music, nostalgia — ericg @ 22:30:25

Fucking Byrne and Fucking EnoHas it really been that long? 19 fucking 81? I graduated from high school that year. First year of the Reagan blight, which was made easier (for me anyway) by the release of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. By this time, I’d allowed my young mind to be scorched by some pretty advanced shit, for the time…Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Velvet Underground, Zappa, Devo: this was something else. It sounded like the future of music, like shit was seriously evolving, like nothing would be the same again. Turned out to be true, in ways that only W. S. Burroughs could have imaged; but I digress…

Eno and Byrne have a new album out! Wubbada wubbabda whah huh???? Yeah I know, it’s quite different, yeah it’s “proper songs” and not audio collages with found sounds, but who the fuck cares: it’s Eno and Byrne together for the first time in umpty-billion years!

Plus, there’s a tour!

Holy shit, the world is NOT a COMPLETE pile of suck!

Nobody will read if I don’t post. Even if I do, it’s no guarantee, but if I don’t, then they won’t.

My wife just started on of these blog thingies, and she’ll leave me in the dust if I’m not careful.
