This trips along nicely. A little ride in the night. May have to click the post title to expose the embedded player.
Or I could try this:
WARREN ELLIS LTD Articles.
Preview of forthcoming new record.
Weird WP/theme quirk: if you’re seeing this on the front page, click the post title to get to the single post page, which reveals the embedded player.
Dunno about you, but I’m definitely up for some big howling electric drones today.
Yes, I’m supposed to be working. I was just having a cigarette (and still need to cut down some more) and thinking about a title for a thing, and my brain alighted on “Sleeping Gas.” Where did that come from, I asked my brain. It was a Teardrop Explodes b-side on a white-label 12″ issue of something or other by them that I bought in the 80s from the record shop in Rayleigh high street. It was on the b-side next to “Tiny Children.” Which I loved. I suspect I loved it more than whatever was on the a-side. This is a thing that often happened to me.
Like, I used to play this to people while hiding the sleeve and asking them to tell me who they thought it was. Obviously, I can’t do that here with a YouTube embed, but, seriously, it did not sound like them — until right at the end.
This was the b-side of “Running Up That Hill.” I had a girlfriend at the time who I strongly associated this with, and it still makes me think of her and smile.
B-side of “Victoria,” I think.
One of the more famous b-sides of the period.
I could go on for an extended period of time, but, yes, work to do.
B-sides. That was a whole thing in my life, way back when. Damn.
A recent AMBIENT ATOMIC ORBITALS podcast. “Just lush ambient with the odd drone thrown in for good measure. Maybe a couple of curve balls too.” Doing this embed by hand until I figure a better way of logging podcasts I like.
