Mar. 23rd, 2007 05:27 pmFinals are over, so I'm off of school for a week. Hopefully I'm off of work too, but I've yet to hear back from one of my bosses about that. Agh. *sigh*
Greg is supposed to be showing up any time now, but he's not here yet, so I'm writing an LJ post. ;D
So, I'm reading a really interesting book right now, Rip It Up And Start Again: Postpunk 1978 - 1984, and I'm in love with it because it's a history of what I realized to be my most cherished era of music. (I could get into my strange musical favorites here, but I think I'll leave that for some other time.) I shall share with you all one thing I learned from the chapters that I've read so far today: nowadays the association of the black and white checkers pattern seems really cliche, but circa 1980 when the ska revival/Two-Tone was really big, the checkers represented the multiculturalism that ska embraced. :D
I totally love knowing these kinds of random factoids about things.
Meh, Greg's here now.
I'll probably post more later.
