There’s an Internet verb ‘to wilf’, short for What was I Looking For: getting lost in some rabbit hole, usually on Wikipedia, having long forgotten what your original purpose for opening the browser was. The other day, after some wilfing, God knows why I found myself on the Wikipedia page of the Oblivians, a Memphis garage punk band that was most active in the 1990s. I had never been more than a casual fan of their music, but I saw them live once, which was good, and this has always been my favourite song of theirs.
This song, the first one not on Tidal, seems a good moment to let you know that all the (other) songs shared on this blog can be found in a Tidal playlist.
