Hi guys! It’s the weekend, and I kind of want to go out and be wild and social. It’s not something I’m very good at, so it’s probably a good thing that this isn’t happening and am kicking about being artsy/techy instead.
Saw this in the papers earlier this week, and couldn’t help but think that it’s something Inverness town centre could definitely use…
It’s a mock-up store front used to hide ugly empty buildings and show potential buyers what the building could be capable of. A pretty snazzy advertising plan, in my opinion – especially compared to what was before.
A few weeks ago I would have said Nairn could have used some of these as well, but we recently got the real thing.
Been thinking about music a bit recently – nothing exactly philosophical, mind. After trying to talk music with some colleagues and tripping over myself going “b-but I’m known for having bad taste” and being told the bands I like are fine, I’ve twigged that I’ve been spending too much time worrying about who’s going to yell at me for liking the wrong band. It’s nice to stop caring and just enjoy my eceletic tastes.
Speaking of which, this weekend I’ve been head over heels for my new alt-rock favourites Ludo’s concept album “Broken Bride” – have a listen here, where you can stream the whole thing. It’s best listened to in order, but my favourite standalone track is “Part III: The Lamb and the Dragon” for it’s almost metal-style riffs and darker redux of Part I’s chorus.
It has a great storyline that strikes a few chords with me due to all the regret that’s been gnawing at my thoughts lately. The main character “The Traveler” spends 15 years building a time machine so he can go back and save his girlfriend, who was killed in a car crash in May 1989. The machine malfunctions and sends him back to prehistoric times where he’s attacked by Pterodactyls, before running past them to his machine and getting sent forward to the end of time, where the world has been hit by a zombie apocalypse and a Tyrant King resembling the Antichrist is summoning a Dragon to destroy the world!
It’s silly, but with a sweetly romantic edge and a stand out ending. I enjoy it! Especially because it gives me a chance to sing: “I CRASHED BEFORE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST, PTERODACTYLS SCREAMING.”
Last but not least, a song I enjoy that’s a bit out of my normal listening range…
