Sorry friends, I’ve been away from the blog. I fractured a bone in my arm last week… I thought I was skateboarder, turns out I’m not. It made typing not enjoyable, so outside of work, I tried to stay off the computer. Feeling a bit better today and I feel like a tool for not blogging (I don’t know why, not too many people read the blog…but it is such a habit I guess).
My song today is a nice trippy one from No Age. Their record An Object is out tomorrow…this one I might pick up. The video for the song “An Impression” was bouncing around the internet tubes today. They call it “punk” which is cool… art-punk? Its a thing.
I am constantly of the mindset that I am going to start a band, and the band was ALWAYS going to be called Bellinger…until this weekend when I heard the story of Len Bias on The CBC. Then I thought, cool band name.
To me, the two are weirdly connected. Henry Bellinger was one of the first Canadians killed on the Western Front. And I always think of him in the sense of, here’s a guy that had so much potential, probably had some plans, probably thought he was gunna get the job done in France, and before it really started, first battle… he is dead.
Len Bias is a going to be a basketball star. Gets drafted by the Celtics, signs a million-dollar shoe endorsement deal, leases a sports car and two days later, he dies of a drug overdose. Never plays an NBA game. Strange.
Go with yourself.
