"I'm hearing music from another time"
Spanish bombs in Andalusia
I'm flying in on a DC10 tonight
So last night I'm down at Bodega to hear the Clash tribute band, Wazzo Clash (The long-time local punk stalwarts Wazzo Ghoti playing as a tribute band). It's pretty good, the musicianship is at least up to scratch and there's a good, enthusiastic crowd and lots of jumping around in front of the stage.
There's a guy wearing a 'Punk's Not Dead' shirt, which makes me wonder. Wasn't punk supposed to be against the whole idea of what we're doing tonight? Paying reverence to 20 year old bands? Getting together to listen to a band play someone else's songs, not to hear something fresh and new?
I don't know. I don't really care - I'm not a punk, I just like some of the music. It's just entertainment.
I leave early because I'm there on my own - Paul rang me just before I left to go out to say he was jetlagged and about to go to sleep; and Drake and Casey were heading home to bed after working a 15 hour day.
Flatmate hunting today (translation: sitting by the phone waiting for people to call).
