The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2022/2023

Had red hair as a child

 31 December 2022

Today I have very strong feelings. Today I feel Courtney Barnett. Today I feel Run The Jewels. Today I feel Lorde. Today I feel TV On The Radio. Today I feel Alt-J (∆). Today I feel The National.  Today I feel a Radiohead. I feel like them because I know what it feels like to be ranked, to be judged as a Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever in an Arcade Fire. At school I was enumerated because I had red hair, The Xx and Gorillaz. I was humiliated, plus I was Gang of Youths, so imagine. I didn’t speak good Bawley. What do you do then? You lock yourself down in your room, you cry and then you try to make a list. You try to judge and rank others … You don’t start helping or reforming, you start listing. This is what we should be doing.”

It’s not easy each new year to read all these lists of songs ranked, published, poured over 16, 15, 14, …, 2, 1 years ago. Now everyone knows we can’t stop, we have to make the best out of 2022 and make the best Bawley Cup ever.  Julia Jacklin is ready, MGMT is ready, it will be the best Bawley Cup ever, of course.”
