L'amore ai tempi del tour bus


Hello Sadness, il nuovo album dei Los Campesinos ammetto di non averlo ancora ascoltato anzi, cosa più grave, non muoio dalla voglia di farlo.
La testimonianza in prima persona, intitolata Female Musicians Never Get Laid, scritta da Ellen, la bassista della band indiepop gallese, invece l'ho trovata interessante, non tanto per l'argomento sesso in sé, quando per lo stralcio di vita reale da musicista in tour offerto, con i problemi annessi, di relazione e anche, ehm, di spazio.

"You could attempt sex in a tour-bus bunk, but I once tried to undress a man in that coffin-sized bedroom, and it was just awful. He was a guitar player in a band that'd played at the same venue the night before, and I was a drunk who was seduced by his comment "Your hat is cute." We eventually passed out half-naked after repeatedly hitting our heads on the roof of the bunk and keeping the people around us awake with the sounds of our clumsy exploits." (Nerve.com)
