I've enjoyed the J Geils Band sound for almost as long as I can remember. J Geils Band, Devo, Blondie, that's pretty much the first music I can remember. But it wasn't until this past month or so, when I renewed my interest in J Geils Band, that I really took the time to listen to the lyrics to the song Centerfold. There's a lot more to that song than even I would've suspected.
Also, on a somewhat unrelated note, the current trend of electropop or electroclash, or whatever the fuck the hipsters are calling it, doesn't have SHIT on Human League. I could listen to (Keep Feeling) Fascination for *days*.
I find something profoundly comforting in an Elmore Leonard crime yarn. They've gotten pretty formulaic over the years, with a flawed yet ultimately cool cat as the protagonist, clearcut bad guys, and supporting characters that could go either way until the last few pages. Quentin Tarantino would still be working at a fucking video store had it not been for Leonard's blend of seedy characters and breakneck dialog.
Fuck. I'm sounding like a goddamn book review. Fuckit.
I've recently started feeling a desire to spend some time in NYC. It's been decades since I've been, but the only folk I know in The Apple are migrating back to The Coast, and I don't wanna just go as a fuckin' tourist. Just another item to add to my "to-do" list.
