We closed out a very weird July (aren't they all) with an "FTS" program that was probably better than the shows that came before or after. Wouldn't you know it, my digital recorder ran out of batteries near the end, so I had to rely on the post-compression recording that the station computer does automatically. I suppose the machines and I were on the same wavelength on this night.
I'd remarked a few weeks ago that I wasn't on "any relevant forums or facebook fan groups." Well, that's changed. I did give in and join the 4AD group. It's what you would expect, for better and for worse. I can't help it, I am just very curious about how people create social identities and networks around music, which seems to be the point of it all, does it not?
Anyway, as it happens with randomly moving targets all the time, someone there derailed a post to diss Colourbox, to which I can only say (because my imagination is limited) GET YOURSELF BENT, SON.
I guess I won't be making any BFFs around those parts, I can already tell.
