I’m drinking ginger tea, and listening to an old Chris Cornell album. It still feels funny to me to call any of his solo stuff “old”, but at this point I really can’t deny the fact. Anyway, I listened to a track of the album he’s releasing soon and it was a really odd experience. If you can suspend your disbelief that Chris Cornell’s voice is coming out of a dance club hit, it sounds like an average-to-decent dance club hit. With the added bonus that Chris Cornell’s voice is in it. If the merest hint of “Soundgarden” assails your psyche… it’s all lost. I don’t think I’ll buy it, and sadly that means this will be the first Chris Cornell thing I’ll pass on willingly…. but it’s time to let him go. Besides, I just got a sweet Soundgarden rarity (Japanese issue only!) last time I was at Sonic Boom, so I’ve got pleanty of the past to live off of.
There were several triumps today, mixed into that (temporarily) overwhelming malaise I get. I’ll do the rest of today in the old list format, since it’s getting late and I’ve got one of my biggest triumphs to celebrate ;)
Good:
