Diary of an up and coming sociopath

In a rare fit of good fortune I finally found a complete set of Brian Wood’s “Fight for Tomorrow” on eBay, and it is now mine. Now I just face the agonising wait for shipping from the US. This series kind of slipped through the cracks, and I get the feeling it was overshadowed by Couriers. Fight for Tomorrow wasn’t ever released as a trade, as far as I know, which means that with his increased popularity due to DMZ and Local, it will almost certainly be issued damn near immediately, just in time to make me regret buying the single issues.

My Red Dwarf VII DVD arrived today, as did my final Pixies bootleg. I haven’t had time to indulge properly in either of them though. I remember buying the series 1 of Red Dwarf in my first term of Uni and thinking “Wow, when series 8 comes out I’ll have been finished with Uni over a year, and now here we are. with only one more set to go before it’s complete. I remember as far back as even watching series 7 when it was first aired as well, something like 8 years ago. It was a great disappointment, as I recall, but in light of series 8 my opinion of it has become strangely rose-tinted an d I’m quite looking forward to re-watching it.

As for the Pixies discs, it’s fair to say that there’s only so much variety that you can find in having live versions of the same tracks over and over. It’s a memento unrivalled in its brilliance, but quite how I’d choose whether to listen to Reading, Alexandra Palace or Brixton is way beyond me. I just enjoy having the recordings to add a bit of variety into my pixies listenings. Now, if only they could record some new tracks live, we’d be talking.
