Thanksgiving is always nice. This was the first family dinner we've had at my mom and Paul's house since they moved to the country. I keep telling them that they're practically living in Ontario, but it was a really nice drive out there and getting to see all the yellow and red leaves was a bonus. I've decided to go up north for a hiking day trip before it gets too cold - just have to put some new tunes on my MP3 player and i'm set.
I had a few rye and gingers before dinner and during the turkey dinner wound up giving my mom a hard time because she said that "she liked" Sarah Palin. I couldn't believe it. I proceeded to launch a tirade outlining all the reasons why she is an evil lady. Despite that, a good time was had by all - well, maybe not the turkey.
You know that feeling that you get when you hear a really, really good song for the first time? It doesn't happen that often for me, but when it does I relish the moment completely. This song is something very special to me - it really showcases my favorite guitar and drumming styles fused together. I've come to expect nothing but quality from all the Factory Records bands, and I had heard the Durutti Column before from 24 Hr Party People but i was sure that it was just the guitarist Vinni Reilly. This song came outta nowhere and absolutely FLOORED me. Anyway, here is one of the greatest songs ever written, imo, that was recorded 27 years ago and which I discovered today, the 13th of October, 2008.
Anyone wanna guess what the drummer was on? I'd say LSD or Ecstasy! haha...
When they switch to four on the floor around the 6 mins mark...that just does indescribable things to my body. Yes, I'll admit it - I'm turned on by a 4/4 time signature. sooo goood.
Oh man, I know what I'm doing tomorrow - I'm tuning up the Les Paul and breaking out my digi delay pedal and I am gonna learn this song if it takes me all day. It's gonna be so, so sweet. Life is all about the simple pleasures.
