| Is your life worth whingeing about |
The above image is an inlay to a CD by experimental Lo-Fi band The Harridans.
In the foreground you can clearly see the emaciated figures of the prisoners of war as they endure the terrible conditions they find themselves in after their capture.
The background however is a brochure for summer breaks around the country in such places as Cornwall and Devon.
When I put this CD inlay together it was to show two completely opposite sides of reality: The first represents the harsh, hellish side of life that some of us have to endure, and have had to endure, while the other is to many of us representative of heaven as we sun ourselves on golden beaches, yet still finding the time to moan about the price of an ice cream oblivious of the hardships that some individuals have to deal with in their lives.
The Harridans music is about separating the light from the dark, but without diluting, or ignoring the true nature of reality and all contained within it.
The list of songs contained on this CD by The Harridans are as follows:
1: Chilblains, Migraines, Dunblaines
2: Decline
3: Don't forget to defecate on the hymn sheet
4: Ever-Dwindling status of celebrity morons
5: HAARP death ray
6: I am the eye in the sky
