FLASHBACK: HOLE NOSTALGIA

Have you ever been out somewhere, and heard an amazing song, and gone home, and tracked it down, and it’s unlocked a whole cupboard full of musical memories?

This weekend two of the Polyester ladies heard Hole’s Drag, a meaty fist of grunge-pop that we didn’t recognise, because, as the lady on the till told us, “it’s a B-side from the Malibu single”. (Yes, we go to shops where they play B-sides from the Malibu single and where they say things like, “It’s a B-side from the Malibu single.” And your point is?)

So the weekend was eaten up by rampant Hole nostalgia – B-sides, old shows, YouTubing madness and all sorts of back-to-95 dreaminess...



I'd defend Nu Courtney to the death, but I gotta say, I really miss the old one.
