[446] you'll be different in the spring, I know
Feeling... aimless, but okay. Existentially struggling a bit, but I took a nice hot bath in the afternoon and am catching up on my stories, so hopefully it shakes itself out. Can't seem to book a hearing test, so I don't know what the hell I'm going to do there. Maybe just go back to the clinic for my bloodwork results and shrug at her??
Going to see a community production of The Wizard of Oz tomorrow, so that should be fun! Captain America on Saturday, probably. It's supposed to be -40 all weekend. Who wants to be my Valentine????
Wikipedia Sez: Rock Bottom is the second solo album by former Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt. It was released on 26 July 1974 by Virgin Records. The album was produced by Pink Floyd's drummer Nick Mason, and was recorded following a 1973 accident which left Wyatt a paraplegic. He enlisted musicians including Ivor Cutler, Hugh Hopper, Richard Sinclair, Laurie Allan, Mike Oldfield and Fred Frith in the recording.
(and a little bit from later in the page because hahaha what):
Indeed, much of the album had been written while in Venice in early 1973 prior to Wyatt's accident, where his partner and future wife (the poet Alfreda Benge) was working as an assistant editor on Nicolas Roeg's film Don't Look Now.
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Art Rock, Canterbury Scene, Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock
Release Date: July 26th, 1974
Prior Familiarity: None. Not my first Robert Wyatt pull, though.
What I Did While Listening: Sat around and coloured after a long day of trying to get my shit back in order and mostly not entirely failing, kinda??
Verdict: A strange little album, filled with strange little songs, absolutely bursting with character.
Favourite Song: Sea Song
Leshia's Rating: ⭐⭐⭐; it was almost a 4, but some of the backmasking and screechy saxophone bits got real annoying.
