It’s difficult to
get started at the moment at our place. The house still looks a mess in the
aftermath of the flood. We’ve still got an industrial drier blasting out on the
dining room, trying to get the last vestiges of moisture out of the newly
exposed floorboards. Added to that, there’s the football, which I’ve been glued
to for over a week now. Just as well, because even though voting in the EU
referendum couldn’t be more important, I’m fed up with it, particularly in the
aftermath of the Jo Cox murder. Annoyingly I can’t even play my records because
all my equipment is mothballed in the front room, waiting to go into storage.
So, I know this
is a music blog, but the vote on Thursday could change everyone’s lives,
particularly those below middle age. Unfortunately it’s been turned into a
clash of ideologies and those in the Leave camp are the best advert to vote
Remain. The EU isn’t perfect, but when I look at the leanings of most of those
who want out, as well as the fact that a lot of rights workers enjoy in this
country have come as a result of EU legislation, I think the choice is an easy
one. I’ll leave it at that.
So the music has
been on hold for a couple of weeks, but will resume over the next few days. It’s
been a while since I put a chart together, but I haven’t bought much so far
this year and, judging from whatever I have in my shopping cart at Juno staying
in it while I bide my time, I have a feeling that sales aren’t what they used
to be. Still, that doesn’t have any influence on the way I consume music, but I
have set my sights on more limited and less frequently released editions these
days.
I’m all about togetherness
and internationalism. I hope my friends are too.
