Weak as a yam

[cosmolinguist]

All of a sudden this evening I'm not going to yoga, I'm going to see Skunk Anansie, a band I know nothing about beyond how cool Skin is.

Three people who should be going instead of me are all too ill, so I'm here having an immune system that works but also I spent the 90s listening to John Coltrane and Muddy Waters and shit, I don't know anything cool. I'm just going because D said "we can snuggle!"

He did deliver on that promise! Lots of snuggles, even though it was way too warm in that venue (even if there wasn't a deadly and disabling airborne pandemic, places should have better ventilation!).

I recognized exactly one song, and I had to keep my eyes closed almost the whole gig because the lights were like perfectly designed to make my nystagmus flare up, but I still had a very fun time!

What a funny introduction to a classic 90s band.

I don't know the band, either. Will go find and listen

NICE (not that people were ill, but that you got to go/had a good time!) I love Skunk Anansie!

Just listening to John Coltrane and Muddy Waters in the 90s is much cooler than listening to whatever indie was on Radio 1! (or Minnesota equivalent) Glad it was a fun gig though.
