Music’s all snapshots & flashes; a song can be SO good it’ll seem a huge ,pivotal, line-in-sand moment & then the very next track is even better.  That song before?  Never played again*.   However briefly it shone though, it was *really* liked.  Loved, even.

(*It is listened to again.  Ususally.)

Elitism, boundaries, sniffy trainspotty prejudice aren’t issues.  Anymore.   (Not a great deal from the NWOBHM here though).   To mangle a football analogy – if a song’s good enough, it’s old enough.   It’s playing (/blogged – d’you see).   Someone somewhere liked a song, so they blogged.   I then stumbled across it & liked it too;  thought someone, you, might like it.  And so on & forward.  It was probably you told me in the first place...

To everyone ever mentioned or not; thanks you talented beggar  x
