poptimistsI was tryin to work out why the thought of the next 10-15 or so Now polls fills me with more nerve than glee, harbingered by my slight anomie today due to the imminent victory of Massive Attack (a song which is RLY GOOD!!) (as is say "Ms Jackson" whose potential anointment also gives me a vague sinking feeling). Why this resentment? I figured that it's probably because we're now swinging into the period when I rolled up my sleeves and got my hands dirty online - setting up FT, setting up NYLPM, founding ILM etc. - and so the particular battles and twists and turns of orthodoxy that characterised them are all still semi-fresh, wounds that might yet be re-opened when the wrong reflex gets triggered.
(despite the fact that "we" WON!!)
"Chap with artistic intent - five rounds rapid!"
Of course the other side of me thinks, the more recent the Now polls get the more INTERESTING and factional they get - these next few years are still unformed canon-wise after all...
(I probably need to stop caring about the effing canon AT ALL, but then I wouldn't be me, sigh.)
