i'm going out for a while (so i can get high with my friends)

I do actually have a rather wonderful job. Minimum wage is more than made up for by the incentive to see bands for free at Brixton Academy. Last night was a transportation back to teenage years, when everybody skateboarded, (heaven is a halfpipe of course) baggy jeans were in and weed was the drug of choice; Feeder played. Don’t get me wrong, Feeder post their drummer’s demise were not what they once were. Their airwave friendly tunes took them out of the realm of Wheatus and Sum 41 and into the category of Athlete and Embrace (remember them?) BUT back in the day drinking cider in the park and hanging around the town centre on weekends was nothing without a soundtrack of ‘Buck Rogers’ and ‘Just a Day’. So despite all the slightly unfortunate people who chose to ignore the unsaid rule not to wear a band’s t-shirt to their gigs, last night was a thoroughly welcome trip down nostalgia lane.
