Last month marked 20 years since I found this site. My fandom had begun way beforehand, but it was a genuine pleasure to find a forum dedicated to the band that was also mostly devoid of the sort of toxic behavior that seems to define so many corners of the internet. I formed a decent amount of friendships here - some just digital, others I actually met in person over the years - much to my surprise and delight (I still think about my random Laz encounter now and then). I just do 1-2 drive by posts per year and such but I will always have a soft spot in my heart for this place. I wish it was more robust but I'm part of the problem, obviously.
Also, I recently watched a smattering of performances from Coachella, none of which really elicited much of a response, but, I did see some imagery from the crowd that I found very interesting. I understand that the younger generation embraces technology in ways that I simply don't, and that I need to modulate what I deem to be regular behavior at music festivals and such. That being said, I have attended such events in the past and just am not used to seeing certain sights, and no amount of embracing generational shifts can prepare you for things like observing constant live streaming, influencers posing for photos in front of a performance then leaving immediately and not even pausing to enjoy the music, and other things of that variety. Anyway, I took a screenshot of something I noticed in some of the footage that simply didn't resonate with this Gen X old man, and it left me confused and perhaps concerned for future generations of concert go-ers....
And I didn't love or hate the HTDAAB reassembled stuff. As long as "you want to kill me and I want t die" didn't materialize, I was going to be fine with it.
Also:
I love Andor and Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light. And Hacks.
I watch Dune Part 1 and 2 every other month or so.
I've been binge reading the Mick Herron Slough House books.
Devin Williams makes me sad.
"This Could be Texas" by English Teacher was my favorite new album of 2024.
Bye.
