Track of the Week - 26 May 2019
There's been a curious smell at the back of the house the last few days. It drifts too. Sometimes it's nearer the back door, sometimes it's outside the gate near the parking spaces.
It might be something a cat or fox left, could be some sort of plant or maybe something's died. To add to the strangeness it only seems to manifest itself when the temperature rises. It's a mystery.
Anarcho-punk rockers Flux of Pink Indians had their own new smell in 1981. This short poem that headed up the Neu Smell EP was about nuclear waste. I doubt it's that at the back of the house.
(I couldn't find the poem on it's own. It's only about 35 seconds long so you can stop after that or carry on listening to a lesser-known punk classic called Tube Disasters and the rest of the EP.)
