fat bottomed girls / bicycle race

while waiting for my wife getting her hair done, i took a walk down to borders, lavishing body heat thru the sunday crowd.

1 hour to kill, i hit the music section for updates. discovered a 2006 The Church cd. i felt outdated, disacknowledging releases from bands that i used to follow. been too engrossed with games and resting of late, what new to the world became a disabandoned building.

in 1988, The Church had released "Gold Afternoon Fix" in 3 formats. there was the cassette, the LP and the cd. both the cd and the cassette had 2 additional bonus tracks, with a more flexible running time of that format compared to the LP. tho the stylus of my technics turntable was getting worn and static wasnt my kind of fidelity, the LP was still my ultimate choice of purchase as the 12" bares that great artwork and the vinyl just comes close to the heart. if i recall well there was also a limited box set where and it comes with a little gift.

my mom enjoyed "radio gaga" and "i want to break free" when i play them before school. family was simple and life was too. inside me, an ambitious youngling that someday outgrow to a uncontrollable freak that has eye for details that never like to settle for fakes or bad productions.

i'll collect it all from that band. AMK library had NME subscription that was rare in 1989. in school nites, not a goth, i'll take a bus and head up the magazine section to enrich myslef with the weekly issue of this brit rock music newspaper. they had the lastest scoop. i zapped an article with the discography of The Mission. they were called The Mission UK in the US. Julianne Regan did the female backing vocals, fronts All About Eve, another band that i digged. now i turned and behind me the racks of moulding discs, i cant find their cds. i do regret selling some of this music that i grew up with, that i came to buy later.

Marty Piper-Wilson did guitars for All About Eve at their final days. uncannily he plays for The Church which i never understand the link between the 2 bands. and many bands had their final days with me, that their music outgrow my diminishing taste. and what i have become 2day i wish i was yesterday.

i bought Rob Zombie's "Hellbilly Deluxe" Deluxe verision cd, Church's "Uninvited, Like the Clouds" cd, Queen's "Grestest Video Hits 1" dvd, the Mission's "Waves Upon the Sand & Crusade" dvd. many things i buy bought me a temporary satisfaction and entertainment. anything that last more then a day would be more justifiable, but .... the impluse always surpassed the thoughtful mind. the aftermath of bills is when reality hits me.

i want to ride my bicycle.
