The Digging Remedy
Plaid will release their 11th studio album 10 June, titled The Digging Remedy (http://www.thediggingremedy.com), along with new t-shirts & a tour!! The tour dates haven't been released yet, but I am holding out much hope that they will come to New Orleans, or somewhere close enough for me to go see them. That'd be one last band on my bucket list to see live before I die. Others already crossed off list:
~Björk
~Sonic Youth
~Primus
I've seen a ton more than this, obviously, but these 3 (plus Plaid at the #1 spot) are artists I'd wanted to see perform in person for years & years. Financial limitations are the only reason I've yet to see Plaid... A few years ago, they came as close to me as Texas, but I was unable to make that one.... Maybe this will be my year.
Sure, it's true: I already have 3 Plaid-themed tattoos, more than any other recurring subject on my skin, and maybe I'm going overboard, BUT I have planned for a couple years to get this one also, which is now featured on the cover of the new album:
Four Plaid tattoos? Am I going overboard? If I am, though, who cares? All my tattoos have double meanings to me, most of which I keep to myself, & this one is no different. I do occasionally worry about being misunderstood as a sycophant or something, but in the end, you have to do what makes YOU happy, right? This will make me quite happy, as will the new album, I am sure. I've yet to be disappointed by my darlings Plaid.
