1997. Lizard lounge was really happening and I was DJing every Friday and Saturday from 9pm til 3am. I more often than not would pop down on a Thursday night for a drink. I didn't have to get to work in the morning because I had my own company by now. Nevermind Promotions and also Swerve Records both being really one man operations. So a lot of drinking and getting up really late. Often I'd get home about 4 am in the morning and then play FIFA soccer for a few hours. All well and good but I could never get an anchor on it all. It didn't really do my first marriage much good either. Where do I start and where do I begin indeed.
I would spend quite a bit of time riding along the St. Kilda foreshore listening to my Walkman more often than not with the Chemical Brothers blasting away as peddled into the wind. When the wind was behind me I drifted along to this song. I have this image of this song playing while the seagulls hovered above me. Listening to headphones was like having your own soundtrack. It's not often I get a chance at the beach to listen to music now with 3 kids. Oh well!
Chemical brothers were big at the Lizard but if I got the chance I would play this early on while people were just arriving. It's even better in wide screen through massive speakers.
