The Original Acid Trip
This weekend is Passover, the original acid trip of the Bible. I find it inspiring that you too could go to say the mall on mushrooms with your friends and if you see things like cashiers burning in flames or doors randomly opening and you just have to tell some people so that the story spreads, and maybe thousands of years later people will have dinners devoted to recounting your experiences in the mall that day.
All joking aside I do think about how this holiday and other ones like Thanksgiving help (attempt to) get everyone together, even if it’s not feasible seeing how we’re on the second year of covid holidays.
It just makes me think about and hope for all the working artists out there whose livelihood is in performing that concerts can continue on soon.
Here’s an interesting interactive article from the New York Times about how the structure of songs is changing to be centred around some sort of quirky hook.
El-Hassan (Frankie Goes to Milan)
Something different to change things up: A slightly Italo-disco number.

Wishing you happy egg-based holidays and welcoming the rainy month of April into the mix.
