My EP People Pleaser is finally out, everyone! Hope you guys stream and enjoy it. It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears...And many years to make this album come true.

Buzzcocks during the recording session of 'Another Music In A Different Kitchen' at Olympic Studios in Barnes, London, as captured in 1978 by Jill Furmanovsky in a photo used for the cover sleeve of their ‘Singles Going Steady’ compilation.

Well, we know of Greece's contibution to western civilization, democracy, arts & culture etc, as well as of Buzzcocks’ contribution to human happiness through pop perfection, but do we know of Greece's contribution to Buzzcocks's pop perfection? Maybe the secret lies in the Greek spirits.

“...RC: -The b-side, ‘Why Can’t I Touch It?’, is one of your best. It sounds very spontaneous.

Pete Shelley: -We came up with the idea just a few days before we did the session and I think the secret to it was that, after we recorded the backing track to Everybody’s Happy Nowadays, we went out to a Greek restaurant in Stockport, near Strawberry Studios where we were recording. We had lots of retsina and ouzo, then came back and started recording Why Can’t I Touch It? 

So we were quite, well, “relaxed” shall we say...”

John Maher even remembers he was concerned about a small cock-up ('malakia' in greek) he had made because of all the ouzo power, an out-of-place hit on the snare during the recording of the song, which Martin Rushent solved by upping the volume in the mixing process to make it sound deliberate, as mentioned in the audiobook "Ever Fallen in Love: The Lost Buzzcocks Tapes", published in 2021 with the blessing of Pete’s estate.

Alkaline Trio - Crimson (2005)

La prueba perfecta de que géneros como el punk pop más fiestero pueden teñirse de negro y generar algo más profundo y oscuro. Un clásico de esa intersección con el incipiente emo más comercial.

30/7/24 [draft from yesterday, again]

woke up at 9 and didn’t end up going back to sleep because my parents kept on talking about how i couldn’t as my provision/keyworker’s coming round. i know i usually get sleep, even if it’s in small amounts, but i never feel like i do. i scrolled through a few pictures of patrick stump until i had breakfast. i honestly felt so exhausted today following how my sleep and eating is at the moment.

my provision [person i have to see instead of going to school] came round almost immediately after i got up so i got dressed listening to escape the fate and then i obviously have to see her. i was about to say good morning to boris on the driveway when she pulled up so i ran off into the living room and waited for her to come in. i think she could tell that i was not having it today so we just awkwardly played uno for an hour. it’s hard to explain stuff like this without sounding ungrateful, i know it’s better than being at school, AND i know it makes me sound stupid, but i’m so scared of her. i really don’t like having to see her.

after she left i went outside and cuddled boris. he was literally the most affectionate id ever seen him in the four years we’ve had him. he usually just goes back and forth and brushes his head on me but today he wouldn’t leave me alone [in the best way.] i took a few videos of him rolling around on the floor and being playful because he’s just too cute. after being out with him for around 35 minutes i went back inside and finished watching tv from yesterday.

my dad came into my room at some point with something behind his back and i assumed it was some weird ass bug because he does tend to hand me stuff like that a lot. i didn’t believe that whatever it was wasn’t alive so i looked away and he put it behind my pillow and walked out. turned out it was a FALL OUT BOY CD!!! he got a deal on ebay and thought he might aswell get me something he knew i like. i love him so much.

after talking to my dad about fall out boy i went back to my room and carried on watching tv. while doing so i made another collage [shown at the end]. i’m not entirely happy with it but i knew it’d be a little iffy as i don’t have anything too interesting to stick into my book. i also didn’t have enough receipts/stickers [etc] to finish it anyways, but at least i liked making it.

i watched tv up until 4 when started collecting pictures of chris drew and other people like that to print out sometime, and then at some point i went upstairs to play roblox with my sister as we haven’t had one to one time in ages — or time together whatsoever for that matter. we played pierce the veil obby, natural disaster and fashion famous. it was really nostalgic playing roblox again.

my phone battery got low so i went back downstairs to the driveway and cuddled boris for like 30/40 minutes. mum came back from shopping so i had a couple grapes and watched a few videos on roller coaster crashes. after that i went on a walk with my mum to this abandoned well i haven’t been to since like 2018. [couple of pics also at end, the rest are at my insta @//iloveechicheng]

when i got home i looked for boris at his favourite spot [perched under my dads car] and when he wasn’t there i momentarily freaked out and as i looked up i noticed him on the windowsill looking out at me from the kitchen?? he’s literally never sat on a windowsill, at least not to my knowledge.. it was so cute OMGG

at this point it was about 9:30 so i stayed awake for as long as i could until i had a 20 minute nap and then went up to my parents to ask them questions about boris because they were still awake [1am i think]. we didn’t argue as we were all just so tired. afterwards i went downstairs intending to have another 20 minute nap but i woke up at 2 so i rushed to say goodnight to boris before i fell asleep again.

* ignore how weird the collage looks, i had to blur out most of the stuff on the receipts

have a good day/night -_<
