Gonna go play that game now actually.

I know this is crazy but I can't unhear this

There's some Orange Juice song that references "Boredom," too. I know this because I've been slowly making my way through the full-length version of Simon Reynolds's Rip It Up & Start Again, which I've had 4 nearly a decade now and haven't read due to lack of interest.

He emphasizes the importance of Spiral Scratch a lot. Basically the primary catalyst 4 "DIY" groups like Swell Maps, Desperate Bicycles, et al.

I bought this used 4 a few dollars, in 2009. Thought it was an awful, agonizingly bland book. Like, Wikipedia's free. Right? I dunno. Not like the book did me some grave injustice or something.

This blew my fucking mind, like six months ago. For years and years and years, "Goldfish" reminded me of something I couldn't put my finger on. After a while, I decided it was just one of those melodies which sounds instantly familiar because it's so perfect rather than because I'd already heard it. Then I listened to Arrival for the first time in like 20 years. Suddenly, it all became clear.
