Was reminded of Picasso’s pet owl from the recent Jennifer Ackerman podcast I shared with you, so I found some biography quotes about the owl and what a great pet it was(n’t)!...
I’m from a small-ish English town. In the early 00s it seemed like every weekend there was an alternative band playing at either the one dedicated music venue we used to have, in the civic hall or just in a pub/ working men’s club that all the local goth, metalhead and punk kids would go to.
The quality of the local bands varied a lot. Most did covers, some did their own stuff but some “big” bands came from out of town at the start of their careers. I saw Enter Shikari here one weekend then Crystal Castles the next.
We always had fun though. Well, as much fun as a goth is allowed to have and still seem cool.
Is that still a thing? It certainly doesn’t seem to be here. I still check local gig listings. The only bands who come here now are tribute acts or still 90s/ 00s nu-metal, emo and pop punk cover bands.
Some local bands play the few pubs we have left but they tend to be “Dad rock” bands, people from my parent’s generation or older covering pop and classic rock.
This post started out all melancholy but changed completely when I realised that either I’m so totally out of touch with “the kids” I have no way of finding out about gigs they’re playing or the whole concept of grass roots live music is dying out.
If so the younguns can tik their tacs and snap their chats or whatever the hell it is they do to listen to music and I’ll enjoy my admittedly more sedate mosh pits before the hip operation comes and I have to move a bit further back.
I’ve always put rubbish in my pocket and kept it until I can find a bin after seeing a Sesame street segment about it as a young kid.
But when I smoked I did sometimes drop my butts on the ground. Normally I would keep hold of them if I was near a public bin as most of them have ashtrays in the top I could dispose of them in.
Coincidentally I’ve noticed that l, at least locally to me, the council have replaced those bins with ones with no ashtrays which has definitely increased the number of butts on the ground. Wonder if having them is seen as encouraging smoking.
But sometimes if I wasn’t near a public bin I’d drop my cig, stub it out and leave it on the ground. I used to smoke hand rolled cigarettes with no filter, just tobacco and paper. I justified it to myself saying it would biodegrade but it still can’t have been good for the environment.
Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality....
If I hear that an Indian restaurant locally has been busted by immigration, I immediately head round.
Also, the reason most British food is bland is because of rationing during WW2. People who grew up back then ate food which was made with limited resources and that was the food they felt nostalgic for and made for their children, who then went on to make it for their own children.
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.
