There was a walk, back when I was living in Aberdeen, that always felt… I don’t know, charged? That may be the wrong word, but that’s what comes to mind, that’s what it felt like. As if there were some kind of magic in it, as if the streets and the night and the still [...]
It seems like ancient history now, but back in 1996, the Spice Girls seemed to be the most pop thing around. They were new, their music following the tried and tested “First two songs upbeat, then a ballad for the third single that just happens to coincide with Christmas” formula, and by accident or design [...]

(Something found on my computer, recently; I apparently wrote it in 2002, but I’m not sure why or what for.)
