I’d like to apologise for my lack of posts recently. The more optimistic among you may believe that I am no more, but unfortunately, I am not quite so easy to kill. I am kind of like a disgusting cockroach in that respect. Nobody likes me, and scientists have yet to discover the reason for my existence, yet I live on, hidden in the in-between spaces of your homes. The reason I haven’t been blogging lately is that I am studying for my exams, all of which I will probably fail (because I am stupid), so I am too exhausted to write much. Today, though, I would like to wish a happy (belated) birthday to two of my heroes: Robert Smith and Randy Rose. (Even though there’s zero chance that either of them will read this, or even care if they do happen to come across it.)
Robert Smith, lead singer of The Cure, turned 55 yesterday. His hair is still very groovy and continues to defy the laws of reality, which is a relief. (I must say I am a little disappointed that he has not dyed it pink yet.) I have a theory that it is actually his hair that writes all the songs, but I have yet to find any proof to back this up. (Maybe there is a rodent living in it and controlling his mind, like in Ratatouille.)
According to rumours, it was recently Randy Rose’s birthday, too. Randy Rose is the lead singer of the experimental rock band The Residents, though his true identity is not entirely clear. If Tuxedomoon and most older Residents fans are to be believed, his real name is Homer Flynn, the group’s manager. They certainly sound a lot alike. (For the curious, there is a Tumblr dedicated to Flynn called Dirty Homer Flynn Confessions, which is just as horrifying as it sounds.)
Randy’s hair is much less magnificent, but that is a very nice tie.
Coming soon: more trite nonsense. Since I’ve been doing a lot of posts about music recently, I’d like to focus more on comics and literature for a while, seeing as they’re more my thing. Hopefully, Smith and Rose will someday make beautiful music together.
Wow – trying to work out how many “Goth Points” you’ve racked up with that Kafkaesque intro… ;P If I don’t see any posts from you I actually feel a little despondent, truth be told. I love the warm nostalgia of being reminded of a great band/song/ artist, and then all the happy discoveries of new bands, artists, writers… I mean, Mary Goes Round? How did that slip past me? When I took control of the music choices in the car the other day, my boyfriend wondered what had gotten into me. xD It *was* a very sunny day in Spain, but as far as I’m concerned, every day is “French Cold Wave Day”. Good luck with your exams. 🙂
Hi Vicky! 🙂 I’m so happy you enjoy my posts. Makes me feel all good inside.
You have a good taste in music. 🙂 Every day should most certainly be a French Coldwave Day. It’s one type of music I’ll never get tired of listening to. 😀
Don’t fret, you are much better at updating your blog than I. You are not like a cockroach at all. Though, I hope you live forever like one. I wish you lots of luck on your exams! I’m excited for your literature posts since I’ve started reading often again. Right now I’m reading Frankenstein for the first time. 😉
Thankies. 🙂 My exams are over now, thank goodness. xD Ooh, I’ve been meaning to read Frankenstein for ages!
