friday random elevenish: “literal holding pattern” edition
We’re all, of course, in the same place as we have been, because that’s the way it is. Working from home has become habit now, and it’s not terrible; as I described earlier this week, I have a routine.
I haven’t really interacted with anyone beyond the immediate fam beyond phone or email, but we’re keeping each other occupied and usually entertained (or at least consoled). The work itself is slightly more bullshit than usual, but it’s a living, so to speak. I won’t bore the world (or out anyone) by describing office politics further.
Face it, you’re not interested anyway.
Things continue as they are, and likely will do for some time. Our (perfectly reasonable) bumroll stash should hold out a few more days, hopefully longer than it takes to get some back on the shelves and convince the idiots that they don’t need enough to build a three storey McMansion that’ll disintegrate come the first rain.
As for weekend plans….what do you think?
In any case, tunes. Mostly actual new discoveries for me, though #8 was, for whatever reason, a staple of radio for a while in college, and I owned the record #10 comes from on cassette, though I donated it last summer while clearing out the cruft. Still a good record:
- “Flying Saucer Attack” – The Rezillos
- “Little Bitch” – Specials
- “Bleed A Little While Tonight” – Lowest of the Low
- “Rubin and Cherise” – Jerry Garcia Band
- “Tangerine Speedo” – Caviar
- “Can U Dig It?” – Pop Will Eat Itself
- “Gentle Tuesday” – Primal Scream
- “Hippychick” – Soho
- “Tell Me When It’s Over” – The Dream Syndicate
- “Moment of Weakness” – Biff Naked
- “I Touch Roses” – Book of Love
- “Here In Your Bedroom” – Goldfinger
- “Tinfoil” – Limblifter
