Concert plans - NMA

I managed to get a ticket for New Model Army tomorrow. It was sold out but luckily there was someone selling their ticket. I wanted to share one more song of theirs, that meant a lot to me when I was young. it feels very edgelord-y now listening to the lyrics, but it still gives me a feeling of elation to hear it. Also, the album Thunder and Consolation is one of the finest albums tha the 80s gave us, and that's a hill I'm going to die on.

Today I got sucked into the swamp that is the Twitter discourse on ideological purity, and now I'm feeling very old and tired. I was reminded of a song by one of my favourites, the post punk band New Model Army. The chorus goes as:

All we wanted was a cause that we could fight for
One chance for the heroes to win the day
All we wanted was a chance to see the world
In black and white instead of a hundred shades of grey

I feel that's apt. Incidentally, NMA have a concert tomorrow. I should probably drag myself out and see them. My mind could do with a cleanup.
