vicious circle

  • the the boneTo The Bone – Copulaters (self released)

    If you gave it any thought at all, you might guess that I love music. For me, it's somewhere between everyday blessing and salvation, this vast, extraordinary tapestry which occurs all around us and will never end (whether we humans are here to appreciate it or not).

    The flipside of this are supermarkets, shops and eateries, all of whom seem to think that what we really want is to be bludgeoned with their usually-shitty taste in music. 

    “Oh, pooh” is often the response to my helpless wail. “What's your taste in music like?” Which ain't the point: if I was running a business which depended on foot-traffic I wouldn't be shovelling my musical taste at them, and certainly not at a volume which forces people to have their brain bludgeoned.

    I must apologise for taking so long to get around to doing this review. By the way; this, and one more, will be my last for a bit. Amid the deaths of friends and the horrid scramble of Krimbo, those japesters at Meta have seen fit to hit me with the relatively new “you must provide a video to prove you're human”. Well, any quick glimpse of my messages to other folks would prove that, and since I simply cannot get the damn thing to work, I now accept that I've lost my Facebook page.

    Amusingly, some bot or other set up a fake page of me, and while I pointed this out to the Metaberks, it's still up there. But you know how it is when you use a service, whether it be a cafe or park bench, if the thing is increasingly unfit for purpose, I'd was going to give the incompetents the boot early next year. Pity that pleasure has been denied me.
