A Gifted CD
The CD was compiled with others in a case that, if memory serves, was a bit like a photo album with those filmy sleeves. When late-elementary or early-middle school me discovered it while helping my grandmother babysit some of my cousins for the summer, finding the title of the CD seemed impossible. The display side was almost entirely black with a small relief of a coiled snake. Younger-me thought it must be called 'Elektra' since that was one of the words that stood out.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails . Content Warning.
Thirty years on, Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral still feels like a fresh breath of thick, toxic-filled, self-hatred-driven, cathartic air. This album is not a pretty journey to take. Anyone who has heard it will attest to that fact. So why have I chosen to write about its importance to me personally?

Speechless at the Sting and Blondie Gig!
Eight months ago, She Who Books Things told me we were going to see Sting and Blondie on the same bill in June 2024. Happy days, I thought. My only worry was the weather. Outdoor gigs and Belfast aren’t a great combo. Call me soft, but four hours standing with the wind and rain slapping me up the face? No, thank you.
