A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

It's not every day that you discover that someone made a podcast episode about your band from thirty-three years ago, so I wrote a thing about it:

"Every now and again a piece of nostalgia comes out of nowhere and stops the world around me for a while. I mean, nostalgia is weird. I am an extremely sentimental person. It's probably not a very healthy sentimentality I guess. I'm idealistic, I tend to romanticize things, which is a recipe for ending up with a lot of regrets.

The upside to that particular orientation to the world is that when you're in the middle of it, when everything is pure, unblemished potential, it's absolutely magical.

I believe this cycle of transcendent hope and disappointment are hallmarks of what someone might refer to, in a mildly uncharitable way, as the 'artistic temperament'.

Yes, as the kids would say, it me."
