WHAT AM I DOING HERE???!!! thought 19-year old Martin McBusted as his authentic 1984 Cheri-red digital alarm split his unconscious booze reverie. He rose into a sudden world of wall and safe and clicked the little box still. Uncommonly alert, his eyes slid across the landscape of his white Habitat duvet with the primary colour robots on it, friends from his toddlerhood of infinite possibilites and happiness, resurrected and transplanted by nostalgia and irony in time and space to celebrate him becoming an automatous man; put it another way, moving to a flat in a side bit off Sauchiehall street with the rest of the band.
Warm reflections bubbled up in him, propelled by friendly cheap Jack Daniels and coke, still with him this morning. What a party last night, dancing the night away at Peel Milton's GUY!!!!! Foxxxx night to 80s hits and the latest nowness by his peers and so-near-peers. One moment of the set last night continually replayed in his head and body, forming a rhythm with the sweet spirit surge in his blood. "Slideshow at Free University" into a 172 BPM Gabba remix of Sonia's "Listen to Your Heart". So unexpected, and yet, when it happened, so natural it was like they were 2 parts of the same song waiting till that moment to be complete. Martin thought about going downstairs, and how it was only 9.45 on a Sunday morning in May 2005. "Yes" he thought to himself "I will eat that mini-pack of Start".
