It's not so much struggling to find the words.....the tough part has been choosing the tune.
Just about every time I think I've come across the ideal bit of music to try and get folk interested in TVV again (including myself I have to add) it hits me that I've featured it before....sometimes more than once.
But hey....I need to learn to stop worrying about it. Does it matter if 99.99% of you are already familiar with the song, whether via this blog or otherwise? Of course it doesn't.......
So it's a new approach that is going to be undertaken in the days, weeks, months and hopefully years ahead. I'm taking the oft-given advice by my dear friend Comrade Colin to only blog when I feel like it and not every day just for the sake of it.
There are a few on-going series that will be slowly resurrected and maybe a few more ideas will emerge. But in the meantime, having dug deep into the vinyl cupboard to find something meaningful and relevant today, I offer this bit of plastic from 1988:-
mp3 : Camper Van Beethoven - Life Is Grand
And for good measure here's yer b-side:-
mp3 : Camper Van Beethoven - Love Is A Weed
More inane ramblings tomorrow....

... nothing wrong with this decision at all as far as I'm concerned ... the main thing is that you're keeping on in the first place ...
Good to have you back JC.

Life Is Grand and so is TVV. Cheers!
Good to see you back, JC!
Great move. Good to have you back.
Thing about working, is that when you DO get to look at your blog, everyone has made the comments that you want to......
JC, it is so nice to see you back. I have missed your (not so inane) ramblings.
Maybe you should start a new serial post to kick start yourself into liking what you do. The The would be good, or maybe somebody/something you haven't paid too much attention to in your blog years. Only a suggestion - it's just so nice to have you back.
I have been a very quiet reader of your blog for, I guess, 5 years now. This is one of the few, maybe only, blog I always find interesting. Whatever you feel like writing I am sure I will want to read. Great to have you back!
Frequently interesting and entertaining, you are one of the few music bloggers I actually enjoy reading. Your passion burns deep - much like mine - but whereas I have a strop when I don't think anyone gives a stuff and pack my blog in, you keep going. And good on you.
Have you seen Webbie's tribute to you over at FootballAndMusic?
Crank up the accordian
And he only popped out for a pork pie!
Hurrah. Welcome home. We just love you.
Good to see you back on your beat JC.
