You have to assume no-one is going to notice and even if they do they aren't going to say anything, so your satisfaction has to come from the deed itself.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-78346466464735815432017-12-27T20:01:29.397+00:002017-12-27T20:01:29.397+00:00I took a long time to warm to Kate. A schoolfriend...I took a long time to warm to Kate. A schoolfriend was obsessed with her at the start of her career and given his general musical taste it was hard to take her seriously. I came round to her around the time of Hounds of Love, which is a superb album and I've liked her ever since. <br /><br />Peter Gabriel is an odd one. I had a brief fling with prog when I was about 13-14 but the only genesis album I ever liked was Trespass, which I still like even now. His solo career is something more to be respected than enjoyed, I feel. I do like to see him doing his ridiculous mimes, though. And to watch Phil Collins' face as he endures them.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-65582149188000939602017-12-27T19:56:34.695+00:002017-12-27T19:56:34.695+00:00The Belle and Sebastian one was tricky.

It goes on "but then, I don't want any", which I felt summed up the point of the post, which was about lootboxes, but I left that part out. I am often far too tricksy for my own good, I think...<br /><br />I like The Captain a lot but Dolly Mixture, who back him on Glad It's All Over and his big hit, Happy Talk, are my favorite band of all time. Before I had a blog I had a website dedicated to the Dollies. It was only around for a year or two but I got some very interesting feedback from it, including some live tapes and an email from one of Sleater-Kinney I forget which one. I still have the source code for that website on floppy disc somewhere...Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-40220033708196299982017-12-27T19:46:33.444+00:002017-12-27T19:46:33.444+00:00You had me for a second there but I think you migh...You had me for a second there but I think you might mean <a href="https://bhagpuss.blogspot.com/2015/01/start-as-you-mean-to-go-on.html" rel="nofollow">Start as you mean to go on"</a>", which I uses as a post title in January 2015. That's from a wonderful song by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN2Iu_9CCiY" rel="nofollow">Black Box Recorder</a>, featuring Luke Haynes, ex of The Auteurs, who I like a lot.

I've been revisiting Family Snapshot by Peter Gabriel on repeat as of late. That saxophone hook has me in its thrall.<br /><br />Happy End of December 2017 and may your bags be ever full of things to sort through.
