I was sitting outside on a bench. Silently reading a book. Out of the corner of my eye, a dark object started to come into view. A furry creature. Not a goblin (I don’t think they have fur). It was a cat. A black cat. I can be superstitious for some odd reason. I try not to step on cracks (although there were times in my youth when I made sure I stepped on every single one), I throw salt over my shoulder, I kiss the clock at 11:11… I do a lot of stupid things like that. So, I noticed the cat. I noticed the path I was going to take to re-enter the building, seeing whether it would cross that path. It was creeping along slowly. It angled to the right of the quadruple glass doors and security pad. It spotted a hole in the meaningless chain-link fence protecting business enterprises from a stone wall. It turned back… took a glance… popped through the hole… looked back again as it meant to wink. Jumped up and crawled through the assumed small passageway between the buildings. It hadn’t crossed my path. Excellent.
I’ve had a lot of good luck lately. This was just another sign. And I’ve had a lot of good luck in finding good music.
Music helps me through the bad times, the good times, the blah times and the every day times. That’s why I like to share music. That’s why I enjoy the company of many friends, lovers and family. Well… maybe not many lovers…
Deep Sea Arcade- Crouch End
Jack Rose- Kensington Blues
Nas- Queens Get The Money (Over their heads, like a bulimic on a see-saw… fucking brilliant)
The Modern Lovers- I’m Straight
Here’s a video by a band from Los Angeles… I like the concept. I like the song. I should see them live… they are called “The Movies” (how appropriate)… the song is called… well, I think you’ll figure that out…
