If I had to try and make some sense out of it I guess I would have to say that I worry I’m going to be waiting so long I’ll forget what I’m waiting for. Does that make sense? You worry you’ll forget what you’re waiting for and then you worry one day you’ll forget that you are waiting for anything at all. Maybe you’ll get up one day and go to work, and after work you’ll come home and sit down in front of the TV, for instance. Or the radio or whatever. And you turn the volume down because all of a sudden you have the sense that something’s slipped your mind. And you sit there and wonder about it for a while, your interest is piqued, you know there’s something…there’s something, but what is it? And finally, you just shake it off. you turn the volume back up. You figure you must have just left something at work, or forgot to pick something up from the grocery store, or something like that – something trivial. Surely nothing important. So you shake it off. But what it is – what it really is – and this is the part that gets to me when I start thinking about it – what it really is is this is the exact moment in your life that you’ve forgotten you’re waiting for something.

So then, without even knowing it, this is when you’ve lost your hope.

What happened to X-Ray?

I was an avid reader of this pocket sized magazine and as you can probably tell I tend to hold on to the past (I mean it has been 6 years!) You’re probably thinking – get over it already, though I do note that no update on this great piece of music literary has been made. As an excellent source for exposing new music I would read the recommended albums of the month and think ‘Yeah! This is my kind of music’ and immediately went out to buy at least one from the list. Ever since then (yes, ever since 2003) I haven’t found anything to fill the void.

So I guess I’m asking, what happened to X-Ray?

All the best,
Gemma

Forgive me, it’s nearly 4pm and I still haven’t eaten yet.

My intention is to comment on the things I find along my way. If you find them interesting too then fantastic [feel free to share/comment too].
