this is one of my all-time favourites... and i refuse to believe that "songs for the general public" is 5 years old already!!!
a perfect glam rock track/album honestly so so fun to belt along too!!
the lemon twigs are so underrated and their sonic evolution and dabbling into many different defining 60s/70s genres with such mastery is so satisfying.... the d'addario brothers are so talented and you should listen to their father's old stuff too!!

Listen, this ain’t a hot take, and I’m pretty behind on this tune- but as far as song-titles that start with “I wanna” go… this is currently in the 12th inning overtime with I Wanna Be Your Dog by The Stooges.
Seriously, the only thing I dont like about this song is that it ends. The Roses could go in and out of jams for 20 minutes using Ian Brown’s chant as a refrain and I‘d be listening to it all day.
It’s crazy. the music just comes at you like an airborne toxic event and overtakes you. The magic of the mix, I guess.
I still don’t think that their self titled is deserving of the best british album of all time. Madchester was a cute moment though.
Whatever this is, need more now.

Absolute slacker rock classic

this is one of the most famous songs ever, so excuse my obvious-posting. And being late to the game. This is actually the song that got me into VU this past year. Sure, “Venus In Furs” is pretty sexy and grimy. I was shocked that the same band that made that song made this song. Gave me pause!
if I have kids this will be my lullaby for them. I sing it to my cat while she’s falling asleep- “sadie says/ that im really sleepy/ and a little hungry too”.
I can’t get over how beautifully observed the lyrics are. Each verse really cuts into something so human… “I hate the quiet places/the cut the smallest taste/of what will be”. Felt. That.
anyway enjoy.

absolutely hate how the government is insisting on phasing out bamboo scaffolding and replacing it with steel scaffolding... like why??? bamboo scaffolding is deeply woven into hong kong culture and instantly reminds of home because it's just so unique and so distinctively hongkonger... i fucking hate the lack of efforts of cultural preservation because what else do we have left?
in recent years i could already feel a slow, sinking feeling that the local flavour of hong kong is slowly slipping away... i just don't want the city i was born and raised in to be more and more unrecognisable as time goes on.... even from the tiniest details of everyday life
there are so many iconic landscapes, features and walks of life that i value so much in the city that i just don't want to be seen thrown in the wayside and i know many hongkongers feel this way too
