The two greatest things to come out of Glasgow in the 1990’s resurfaced in Seattle this week.
Trainspotting 2 opened in cinemas here, 21 years after the first and two months after it opened in the UK. I’m guessing the film and hobby – hanging out on train station platforms taking note of the passing engine numbers – didn’t translate to the US. My autosuggesting American keyboard – usually pretty culturally clued-in – has nothing to offer until I enter the “g”.
And Teenage Fanclub came to town last night. Kurt Cobain’s favorite band. And, as it turns out, the band that makes me happy more than any other. I am all grinned out today.
