[234] and don't the sun look good today?
My first proper nothing day, mostly due to my increasingly-dire throat situation. Turns out blowing out your voice and then continuing to attend wrestling events every 1-4 days for the next two week can really fuck you up! It's a shame, because I wanted to check out a couple of educational IMAX movies since it's closing for a week tomorrow, but ah well. It was also almost thirty degrees out, so fuck it, a day in was probably the right call.
Last night was a hoot, Joe vs. Punk was great, the Jay/Juice vs. FTR tag match was even better, and the Regina crowd was small but mighty, if more Punkpilled than I was comfortable with (I think I was one of five people total cheering for Bullet Club, which somehow made the ending that much sweeter tbh). I met some nice people in line who recognized me from the Winnipeg show (!?!?) and got a sticker for their wrestling podcast, lol. Then I ordered some late night McDonalds and watched a bunch of Castlevania because that is how you take a vacation. Today, I just hit up the nearby Safeway for some essentials and then spent the rest of the day lolling around, making pasta and drinking children's NyQuil! I ate the pasta out of a Boston Pizza fishbowl! We shall see what tomorrow will bring! I want to go to the movies, but the theatre is over an hour's walk away, so I may just end up making it a one-two punch of NOTHING to close out my time in Regina. I've got a whole apartment to myself, why waste it!
Wikipedia Sez: 16 Lovers Lane is the sixth album by Australian indie rock group The Go-Betweens, released in 1988 by Beggars Banquet Records. Prior to the recording of the album, longtime bassist Robert Vickers left the band when the other group members decided to return to Australia after having spent several years in London, England; he was replaced by John Willsteed. The album was recorded at Studios 301 in Sydney, between Christmas 1987 and Autumn 1988. 16 Lovers Lane was the final release from the original version of the band. The Go-Betweens broke up in 1989 and would produce no other material until Grant McLennan and Robert Forster reformed the band, with a completely different line-up, in 2000.
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, College Rock, Indie Pop, Jangle Pop
Release Date: August 1988
Prior Familiarity: None.
What I Did While Listening: Rode the bus to Regina! Album 2 of 3.
Verdict: It's fine? Very '80s, but not in any particularly memorable ways. Good vibes, would have liked more variety to them.
Favourite Song: Love Goes On, maybe? Really not a lot stuck out here.
