Remember, Remember etc
Day off from work today. I returned to the gym for the first time in about a month after back trouble. I could only manage about an hour, which is probably fine but I am continuing to feel the consequences of my additional heft. I then took my second trip to the bingo in five days to prepare me for the next thirty years of bachelor living or something. I had a freebie that I was given the other day, that's my excuse. Anyway, I was a man saying the number "38" away from a full house and £100 in cash.
Oh God, what has my life become.
Surrey Quays at least provided a fine vantage point from some top calibre fireworks. Having given Halloween a kicking the other day, I am better disposed towards Bonfire Night and oohed and ahhed appropriately, if internally. Good news came today in the form of Alcopop Records announcing their Alcopalooza event at the Brixton Windmill* in January. It will be headlined by Tellison, playing "Hope Fading Nightly" in full.
They have just released the excellent "Wrecker" from said record as a "pay what you want" download single with B side. They sold four personalised bowling shirts (one for each member of the band) to promote the release. Fortunately they sold out before I had to ask myself if I loved Tellison enough to buy one.
*The Windmill is absolutely tiny. Think of the smallest music venue you've been in. It's smaller than that. Unless the smallest music venue you've been in is The Windmill in Brixton. I went there ten years ago to see Get Cape Wear Cape Fly. On the journey home, I was verbally abused by a man on the train for the entire 25 minutes back to Bromley South. Good times!
