Notes

In a rare development, there’s a theme to this week’s playlist. I won’t spoil it for you but I think you’d be able to figure it out.

Also, I’m becoming very self-conscious now, because when have I ever assumed a readership when it comes to these ramblings? But then again, if I didn’t assume that these words would be read, why would I commit them? Even if the reader was I, the writer. 

Oh for heaven’s sake.

There’s a theme to this week’s playlist, it’s bloody obvious, and everything else I’ve written thus far is a farce to which I now endeavour to create some notes about.

I do not remember the original genesis, but I think there was an attempt to explore indie rock akin to Japandroids. Listening to Japandroids inadvertently leads to my fascination with their cover of a Nick Cave song. That then spun out into this idea of, what other songs had the same title and were they all the covers of a cover of a cover? Or were they their own thing? 

In summary, it’s a combination of both, but if there was any observable thread, it’s that there is a certain frenzy that comes from evoking the spirit of the ripper.
