ok here we go
first acknowledge they who have inspired
the time being
sk writes an inspiring daily blog
i got onto it because i love his music
the church have been a constant in my life for 25 years now
i still remember the very first time i heard them
when you were mine came out of a radio tuned to triple (double) j
at my work in 1982
i still remember thinking then that sounds brilliant
i bought the blurred crusade record that day
took it home
and played and played and played it
my flatmates kind of got it but not really
but i was hooked
from then on i went to every gig withing reaching distance
and bought every record
25 years later its just the same
i love 'em
they ground me
they lost me a bit up until a few years ago
coz i wandered off
listened to and loved all sorts of other stuff
but every few years i'd have a relapse
put tbc on full volume in my car
and love it all over again
when you were mine the best rock song ever
just for you the best love song ever
it takes off
the guitar solo is exquisite
you took has the best intro ever
and everything else inbetween cannot be overplayed ever
ok that's it
there's more coming in my love of all things church
but for now....
last night
i went to the state theatre and saw inland empire
new film by david lynch
i got a call from a friend
late in the day
saying would i like a ticket
i hadn't had much sleep the previous night
so hadn't thought about going out
but when he rang
the overriding rule kicked in...
never refuse an invitation
savour every one
let fate take it's course
or let karma come in
or just enjoy the company of friends
so yes i said
got picked up and driven into the city
and told it's a 3 hour film
uh-oh i'm thinking
sleep is surely going to come calling
when it does i will just excuse myself
and get a taxi home
...we take our seats near the back of the stalls
a full house
the film starts
i'm hooked - i decide to go with it as long as i can
3 hours later i'm still hooked
and asking my friend what the time is
not believing 3 hours have passed
many people walked out
even up to about 10 minutes before it finished
huh?
but i loved it
laura dern was stunning
she was gorgeous
she was brilliant
she held it together
it was a visual journey
no idea
what it was about really
but it was captivating
the soundtrack will be a whole new discovery
i think i now understand
why david lynch is so revered
....more soon?
