While it's not of the industrial rock genre, you just
reminded me of Wire's "(A Berlin) Drill". What an
onslaught of percussion in that tune! I've gotta
reobtain it on a contemporary recording medium one of
these days. It's probably a good tune to hammer to.

It is. But it's old

I'm even older.

The kids today are hammering to Death From Above 1979.

I'm not a kid, nor am I trying to be. Although my wipeout
today reminded me of my younger years. Not that I wanna
wipeout again (rounded a left turn too fast, encountered a
huge, hitherto invisible rut in the road, flaired my curve
out to traverse the rut on its shallow end at the right side
of the right lane, couldn't get back into the curve of my line,
and the next thing I knew I was too quickly approaching the curb.
I ended up doing a push-up on the sidewalk. I managed to get the
bike up on the sidewalk with me, both me and my bike landing on
our right sides. I'd holed the knee of my new jeans (on my way
home from work,) got a stingy knee, bruised or cracked a rib,
and shook up the part-bottle of Coke in my milk crate. But I
had to boot it around that corner because all these big trucks
were homing-in on me as I was waiting to make my turn. I was
wearing my helmet, which of course escaped unscathed, and did
nothing to mitigate my minor injuries. At the outset of the
ride, I stupidly eschewed putting my gloves on, though.

To add insult to injury, after walking-off a couple of blocks
past my "incident", I'd discovered I had lost one of my work
boots out of the milk crate. So I had to double back to the
scene to retrieve it.

I must've been quite a spectacle; I had to reassure the
motor vehicle onlookers that I was still alive and okay.

The tune for that experience might be The Screaming Blue
Messiah's "Jesus Chrysler Drives A Dodge" ( "... went past
a semi, sideswiped a semi, must've been carsick, must've been
a shower ...") Another oldie but goodie.


cheers,
Tom
