Micro-rant...incoming.
Posting this makes me both happy and queasy. There's a little bit of
news on Editors, which is great, but it came via TikTok. Sadly I always
knew they'd end up using it as a platform, but it's still a bit of a
downer. It's not their fault, they're in the business of getting the
word out and I'm not in any way bashing them for their choices. It's
just that promoting anything to do with TikTok at the Archive makes me
feel very uneasy. Ironic, considering I operate in the Google
eco-system. Life sure is complicated.
Micro-rant...over.
The video features Tom singing Heart Attack in rehearsals, and you would
think that the main talking point of this video would be that and the
new song that appears very, very briefly towards the end of this clip.
However, there's more going on here. If you pause the video at various
points you'll see a whiteboard with song titles to the right of Tom as
he sings. So far, I think I've managed to make out 5 or 6 of them in this
order:-
Heart Attack
Racing Rats
Bullets
Karma (?)
Bricks and Mortar
Bones
I'm pretty sure I caught a glimpse of Violence further down too. Heart
Attack as a set opener would be a real statement of intent, a definite
mood setter for what's to follow. Interesting stuff.
brought to you with lots of lemming-love :) x
