Birthday observations upon this, my 34th:
The morning DJ on KKGO (an Adult Standards station here in L.A.) declaring Frank Sinatras No One Cares as an overlooked and underappreciated work. The unintended irony of his statement wasnt lost on me. I laughed out loud and the dog gave me a quizzical lookperhaps he just wanted a biscuit.
Picked up the new Saint Etienne yesterday (Tales From Turnpike House out now on Savoy Jazz). Early impressions? The most quintessentially English album since Blurs Modern Life Is Rubbish and dare I say, The Kinks Are The Village Preservation Society.
Rock snobs dont get old, they only get snobbier.
I dont feel 34 but I dont know what 34 is supposed to feel likeI think 35 will have more of an impact, after all that age is mentioned in one of the most recognizable (if not wistful) songs in the Sinatra canonWhen I was 35.
You know how the song goes. If not, you should. They are all very good years.
