this is something that almost always helps me sleep when everything else fails.
but i have thought about that - all the options. i'm so Thankful for them; but when we were young we'd save our leaf-raking money for an album and that album was it, the only new music for a while.
even if it was a disappointment, i listened to it at least a few dozen times to make sure - and inevitably grow to appreciate it.

No guarantee that any of this is connected, but from a 2014 interview:

I was in a high street the other day – it was three chicken outlets, two bookies, a Poundland and a Costcutter. A place where you pawn your possessions, a place where you stock up on shite food and a place where you lose your cash on a bet to get you out of there. Who made that happen?

My late wife loved Shane McGowan's work so much. Before she passed from ALS, we spent months going through thousands and thousands of songs to compile a playlist. When she liked a title, she would "ding" her bell like Hector Salamanca. The very last song on the playlist was the Pogues' "Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Go." Irish to the depths of her soul, with a dark, dark sense of humor. Miss you, Julie . . .

Heyo! Working late tonight; got a late start and dealing with end of year/holiday crapola on top of it all, but loving the tunes. Finally had...breakfast/lunch/coffee. Treated myself to a piece of spinach pie and a bit of a peach strudel -- have not seen peach strudel in a bakery in a zillion years. And a giant coffee. Have to restrain myself or I will weigh 7,000 lbs and be visible from space; bakery is dangerously close to my place...
