#nowspinning a "new" #cantopop #RemixEP from #SandyLam #林忆莲, just 4 tracks from the mid 90s, an era when everything was only released on CD, so it's great to hear these on #vinyl for the first time. Reissues targetting #GenX consumers are big business. We struggled to find $15 back in the day to buy an album, but now think nothing of forking out $80 for just 4 songs. This disc feels worthwhile though, it's really high quality in every way. Except they've used a photo from the mid 80s, which is annoyingly incoherent. If you can hear the song playing, its title is #Determination. If you can't hear anything, it's because the music rights owner has muted it, which is stupid cos I'm like making an ad for them right here. #suzysdiscs
I've just emailed 4 theatre companies to tell them I'm regretfully not coming to see this week's openings. After thinking hard for 48 hours, I've decided that Suzy Goes See will be shutting up shop... for a bit, for the foreseeable future, for as long as is necessary.
The government implies that crowds less than 500 are ok, but also recommends social distancing. I don't know how you can make sense of this, when you're sitting shoulder to shoulder with 200 people, but clearly you have to decide this for yourself for now, before stricter regulations are applied. Also, I'd like to point out that it may be 200 people one night, but after consecutive evenings, we're talking exposure to thousands in just a few weeks.
Without Suzy Goes See, I may have to live a passionless existence for a while, which is scary to think about, but like many working in the arts, our need to innovate and create will simply manifest in different ways. Time will tell.
Take care, of yourself, and more importantly, of others. There are people all around you who are more vulnerable than you, and they need your vigilance. Do the best you can for one another. I love you, and I'll see you on all the socials 24/7 ❤
