What Love mean to me: a car trip from Manchester to Norfolk, August 2001. Ex's peculiar brother is driving, and insisted on stealing my copy of Horses for the journey. I hoped we'd bond. We didn't. Somewhere round Chesterfield he puts on Forever Changes, which I hadn't heard before. It's the remastered version with out-takes, and one of the songs starts off with an ace grinding riff, der-der-der-der-ner-ner-ner-ner plink plink plink...no, sorry, let's do that again...der-der-der-der-ner-ner-ner-ner. When the song proper starts I don't think I've been as disappointed since we stopped at Mansfield services and they'd run out of Frazzles. It sticks in my head for three weeks.
So it took me until last year to realise just how AMAZING Alone Again Or is. Feel sad now I never really got into them as much as I ought...people say it's the album that poked the needle at sixties idealism, but Alone Again Or doesn't really fit that. 'I could be in love with almost everyone/I think that people are, the greatest fun/but I will be alone again tonight my dear...' Could be the slogan sprayed on my wall. It's Roe Thugz, actually, but the spirit's there.
