This Is A Blog
This definitely counts as a daily blog. Definitely.
I went to work today. The nature of my job means that I am not at work more often than I am at work, so that's worth making a note of, surely? On the way I listened to A's "Hi Fi Serious", a record that I haven't heard for years but repurchased from Poundland the other week. It still stacks up as a decent entry level rock record and the guitar solo in "Pacific Ocean Blue" is absolutely tremendous. I choose to forgive them for the couplet "I want to be the grass underneath your feet, I want to be the shops on your high street".
I'll also forgive them for calling themselves "A". It was supposedly on the basis that they would be first in the CD stacks in record shops. The band clearly didn't anticipate the rise of the internet age where predictably they've become ridiculously difficult to search. They seem to be doing a one off gig headlining the fourth stage at the Download Festival this year. I imagine it'll be decent fun.
EDIT 25/12: They added another warm up gig at what is literally my local toilet venue, the Tunbridge Wells Forum. It was indeed decent fun and I've reviewed it elsewhere on this blog. They closed with "Pacific Ocean Blue" and the aforementioned terrific guitar solo, of which Van Halen would doubtless be proud. I would probably go and see them again if their mooted tour comes to fruition.
