"We are trapped in time; our curse is that we are forced to interpret life as a sequence of events-a story-and when we can't figure out what our particular story is, we feel lost somehow.” D Coupland
Submarine in my opinion one of the best Irish debut albums ever released & I think it was way ahead of its time. Well done Paul! Loving your memories 🎸
Really glad to hear you are enjoying them Peter. Spent years trying to forget the band after we broke up - now, it’s important for me to do the opposite.
When I get to the end of each of these I feel like a kid again waiting for the “same Bat time….same Bat channel” next episode. Great writing that brings memories to life!

Thanks Dean - always surprised how many cite Submarine as their favourite …glad you are enjoying the stories :)
I love reading these Paul. There is a resonance in your writing.
I happened across my vinyl copy of Submarine the other day....it's well overdue a listen.

Ha - jayzuz I remember that too!
Thanks Bren - what a compliment! :)
Bands like Blue in Heaven & Into Paradise were really good live too !!!
The Rock Garden had some great bands playing … Mercury Rev & Spiritualized being stand outs !!! What a time to be going to gigs in Dublin !!!
Sitting in Haneda Airport Tokyo reading this and I’m transported to a time and place Paul. Beautiful written. Amazing times.
Thanks Joe - they really were. If I had a Time Machine….first stop :) Just for a day.
