for one, memory, but i'll come to that
cue later...
what could be more entertaining
than watching two woodland pigeons
flying to and fro
with pinched twigs from trees
in their beaks,
building a nest in a tree in my garden?
woodland pigeons?
no, not the urban type,
the urban types you see limping with
one claw-foot that resembles a pirate's
stump, ready for the next act
of gangrene;
woodland pigeons, meaty *******,
much bigger than
their urban "cousins"...
with what resembles a priest's dog-collar
around their neck.
the memory entertainment?
just remembered stealing
queens of the stone age album from
wh smith, and getting away with it...
wh smith? oh they sell all sorts of things,
i think it's quiet a miracle that they
still exist, in the current climate of
amazon dot com.
you really don't need to leave the house
these days, which is a shame...
but then shopping online has
that element of delayed gratification...
the instant thrill of clicking and buying,
sure... but the adrenaline rush is spread
over several days, until the ****** thing
you bought arrives.
i used to remember times that when
i would run through a shopping mall
when i heard about a release date
of a new ps1 game... those days? bye bye,
it was nice living in the summary
of the 20th century that was the 1990s...
correct me if i'm wrong, but i still think
pearl jam's yield album was the zenith
of some sort, not the zenith of the oeuvre,
but some sort of zenith...
and as grunge goes,
nirvana will always have a cult status,
by comparison...
but pearl jam matured, and they sort
of became the godfathers of indie,
in some twisted way...
well **** on me, if we're not going
to discuss opposing opinions within
the realm of dialectics, we can at least
indulege ourselves in chameleon eclectic(s),
or have such a variety of opinions
that they almost seem pointless to discuss...
but in the modern world,
it's only in the realm of music
that we can be friendly, having opposite
opinions, and become passionate about
each other's opposite stance... that's it,
only music;
but one unshakeable opinion i have is that,
pearl jam is the only band with the most
genius marketing project of the album
sleeve... ten? well, they just started...
but after their debut?
phooooooom! into the stratosphere....
no other band i know does their end
product to just a meticulous end result...
sure, tool came 2nd with their
lateralus album... but that's
about it, ah ****, and also 2nd comes
radiohead with their kid a album...
but i don't know of any band,
quiet like pearl jam;
strange, going to a nightclub and hearing of
new generations getting intro. to grunge,
and then the declassification of
pearl jam from grunge... to simply: pearl ham...
i don't know what they can be classified
as... perhaps it's a canadian thing.
