How do you know you're old? Probably the best way is to have children, those metronomic little ticking time bombs; a constant reminder of your mortality. But surely the next best reminder of your increasing obsolescence is the music that got you off when you were a kid. Likely it still gets you off, and if it really got you off you're probably still willing to defend it against any challenge to its obvious superiority over anything "out there today." Well, you know, each to their own. Most music sucks when it's new - thank goodness young people have such bad taste. All I know is that Jingo de Lunch rocked. It sounded great when I was young and it still sounds good to me.
Good enough to listen to 44 minutes live!
But it also makes me feel old. Because I'm no longer pissed off. I am no longer willing to stand for hours in a broken down hovel with toilet paper stuck in my ears and beer all over myself. It was fun at the time. And the music still sounds really good to me - even when a lot of other music I listened to at the time has gone flat. Thanks Yvonne @ Company!
