[503] they all sound the same when they scream

Christmas is done and gone for another year, and thank goodness for that, but god, those four days off were nice. The horrible cold snap has finally broken, which means TRULY INSANE AMOUNTS OF SNOW. The movie theatre is closed due to a burst pipe. I fucking hate winter so goddamn much.

Things at work are way too quiet. Not for my sake, because I love doing nothing, but because my techs have barely any work to do. Hopefully sales can get their asses in gear and things pick up soon.

Worlds End was a great show with a dogshit ending, much like last year's, only more so on all counts? Maybe I will do a post about it later this week. Long live Mixed Nuts Mayhem.

I need to get back into Stardom properly this year, starting with Dream Queendom tonight! Also gonna jump back into Nooj with Wrestle Kingdom, since I fell off regularly watching back when EVIL was dominating the G1 lol. Maybe I should start sneakily watching wrestling at work to get more in, the days are simply too short!



Wikipedia Sez: Real Life is the debut studio album by English post-punk band Magazine, was released in June 1978 by Virgin Records. It reached number 29 in the UK Albums Chart. The album includes a re-recorded version of the band's debut single "Shot by Both Sides", and was preceded by the non-album single "Touch and Go", a song from the album's recording sessions.

Genre: Pop/Rock

Styles: Alternative/Indie Rock, Post-Punk, New Wave, Punk/New Wave

Release Date: June 24th, 1978

Prior Familiarity: None.

What I Did While Listening: Started to tidy up before bed and then just did a bunch of Sporcle quizzes.

Verdict: Punk or post-punk albums that strike me as anything more than just fine are few and far between, and this is not one of them!

Favourite Song: Shot by Both Sides is alright I guess? Nothing really stood out to me here aside from My Tulpa, because Tumblr has made tulpas funny to me forever (I should rewatch The Empty Man...), though the remastered edition did end with a pretty fun Goldfinger cover that I took to.
