WAVES

Listening notes: Listen to Lou Reed’s 1982 LP The Blue Mask. Think about blue ocean and a cloudless sky, or mist hanging gently on a calm lake. Drift awhile in an influenza fuelled fever. During the song Waves of Fear imagine Little Grapefruit on a grey-green stormy sea, with no escape.

Apologies for the intermittent posts. Blame university deadlines and a trip to Edinburgh to try to work out the origins of the different types of teabag envelopes my mum used for her writing (with no conclusion, as the shops she frequented during visits to the capital change supplier with price fluctuations). Flu, contracted I suspect on the bus, has led to a battle for an extension to my assessments.
