Have you come across Kirk Hamilton’s strong songs musical analysis/reconstruction? I am not a music nerd or a musician (most of the technical stuff goes right by me) but I enjoy these if I enjoy the song.
This has made me revisit some key parts of my childhood: Smash Hits (always gorgeous); the painful shift from middle to upper school; and devising a dance routine to Like a Prayer in a friend’s bedroom, innocently unaware of the official music video. Thanks for the flashbacks.

I can't say I loved middle school that much, but the move to upper school was like a horror movie. Thanks for reading!
Excellent, as always. Thank you for this blast from the past - or was the blast from the Argos fan?!
Haha, thank you for reading. I can’t believe I never noticed the fan before – it made me howl for some reason.
Thank you! And yes, I still have my vinyl somewhere. Last time I checked, it still reeked of patchouli!
