It's my birthday today, and as far as I know, nobody died in the music world today.
I got an unexpected birthday present via the internet, in the form of an audio file of the punk/crustcore band I used to sing for in the eighties. Some of you out there may remember the post I did on the band, Backslide, some time ago. I've been in sporadic (very sporadic) contact with Tim, the bass player, over the last year or so. He's got his own project (kind of a dub thing with pirate overtones) called Melodica Deathship, based in Ireland. Lightyears better than Backslide. Imagine my surprise when he sent me a file of an old Backslide show.
The show he sent me was the first one (of two) we played. It was, appropriately enough, at a birthday party. Listening to it now, I must admit to a small amount of embarrassment at my occasional inability to "sing" in time with the music. I can even pinpoint the song where I forgot some of the words and just started shouting nonsense. It was loud good fun though, and I'm glad I have this relic. I might even post it here someday.
