Transiens: 2011

Our tastes and preferences change over the course of our lives. The things we read, watch or listen to now, will not always remain the same for the rest of our days. This we know. Yet obsession occurs when we try to cling on to the memory of something wonderful that we have experienced. Subconsciously, we know that the feelings from these memories do not last. Nevertheless, we relentlessly seek ways to preserve these feelings:- through writing, collecting and archiving. (Ok ok, cut the BS and essentially this is just a collection of links to stuff that I’ve been collecting that are not necessarily written by me. ON TO THE ENTRIES!)

Hey, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango?

Filling Freddie Mercury’s shoes must rate as rock’s most daunting situation vacant. Fronting a performance by Queen, to be seen by a TV and internet audience of millions, with only one week’s notice is certainly a challenge few established singers would be willing to accept. Tarnish their memories of Mercury and Queen’s fans will never forgive you; try to outdo the ﬂamboyant front man and you’ll fail.
