Track of the Week

In honour of my bestie leaving me in t-minus: one month, I have decided that this week's track of the week will be an ode to our friendship.

The Virgins - Hey Hey Girl

I have memories driving through Melville with dodgy people, doing dodgy things, listening to this album. Because it was literally the only thing we listened to for a year.

I know that The Virgins are for some reason hated, like this is an actual quote from NME - "These feckless wasters are destined for the ninth circle of hell. where they'll be frozen in the icy lake of Cocytus while The Might Boosh band play in the background, their heads in the mouth of Lucifer (who is, in this fantasy, Henry Rollins), their backs forever being skinned by his claws." They however also said this, "despite all this, this album is jam packed with pop hits; the most vomit-inducing shamelessly hipster band we've ever clapped eyes on might have well made one of the hits of the summer."

Needless to say, even though my best friend is leaving me to start a gang in Cape Town called Metaface, where he'll be leader and they will call him numero uno, I will still have this album and free accommodation in Cape Town. So, it's not all bad.

Love always,
Nicole.
