808 State: In Yer Face

A Small Story - 9 February 2025

I genuinely hadn't intended to write anything this week, Nothing much had happened of any note. The ideal week to give it a miss under my new 'Small Story' banner.

But then I woke up yesterday morning, looked at the clock and saw it was 8:08. I was mildly amused but thought little of it. Then, later in the day, when I went to the kitchen to start dinner the cooker clock said 18:08.

8:08 was in my face again - was the universe trying to tell me something?* If so, I'd better pacify it by choosing 1991 top ten hit In Yer Face by Manchester electronic combo 808 State.

I've still got the album this features on, ex:el, which has another couple of cracking tracks on it. I saw them live in the same year in Heaton Park, at the Cities in the Park festival. Don't remember a thing about it which seems kind of appropriate.
