I need a readout system for my body. I want to push a button, beep bop deet do (yes, my readout will have sound) and instantly know the origin of unexplained bruises or body aches. I am willing to insert chips or matrix-like plugs if they are stylish or concealed in a top knot. An upgradable system with add-ons such as “why did I come in this room” or “what is on my grocery list” would be useful too.

September Gurls

The annual listening loop of Big Star’s “September Gurls” has begun. Soon it will be followed by their entire catalog with a bunch of extra “Thirteen” plays for good measure. And if history repeats itself this will lead to some Box Tops and eventually settling into a Kinks/T.Rex marathon with repeat plays of The Undertones’ “Teenage Kicks” for fun. Finally, I will snap out of it with the help of Rancid and The Clash. Every September.
