I’ve hit a new stage of live music withdrawal, the dwell on how much you miss your favorite bands as you make memorabilia collages and cry stage. I acquired some frames last week. I brought them home only to notice then that one of the frames held a movie poster signed by none other than Chris Evans. I spent Christmas Eve re-purposing the frames, replacing the signature of Captain America with the signatures of Biffy Clyro. Christmas was spent wallpapering my yoga space with setlists, ensuring positive vibes only during meditation. Christmas also came with a surprising number of livestreams including ones from Gavin James, the always entertaining Callum Beattie, and Max from The Arkells who was getting Chinese delivery for those spending their day alone.
Net week we have a number of ways to virtually celebrate the new year. And maybe I will finally get around to sending out some Holiday cards that have a link to my 2020 Music Mix in it…maybe…
