And then I remember someone I know, and think I ain't done that bad after all.
I used to know a girl, way back in the day, we used to go out to the same places, we sort of knew of each other, but we never truly actually met.
Sometime around 2006 or 2007, when I DJ'd, she'd sometimes swing by and say hello - we were facebook friends, and I always used to advertise my events there.
Then one day I hear that she's moved to England, somewhere in the countryside where she lived with her fella. And that was that, the last I knew of her, even though I also moved to England a bit later.
A couple of years ago I suddenly came across her name, in the news, of all places. I'll leave her nameless here, though a google search could easily reveal the identity.
It seemed that somewhere along the way she'd hooked up with some right wing extremist gits, and... god, I don't know. They were all into that nazi crap, and they even had a baby and took pictures with him whilst saluting the flag or some such idiocy. What it boils down to is that eventually authorities wised up to this bunch of twats, and they were all (or so I'd imagine) put behind bars. Her, I know for sure, was locked up.
And it always felt like such a stupid waste. She's a beautiful, talented woman, she had a keen eye for photography... and to throw it all away for what? For people who don't care if she lives or dies?
It's madness.
To lose it all, in such a stupid manner... Well, even I wouldn't fuck up that bad.
And what does all this have to do with the band I'm posting about today? I'm not too sure either. I know I liked her taste in music, and I'm pretty sure she may also have posted some ORE when we were facebook pals. But maybe I'm also reminded about another girl, someone who we knew in common, who might also be guilty of posting ORE. I don't know.
It's hard to know anything, when you ponder the infinite stupidity people are capable of.
