Wait, do you live near me? Or maybe you used to. I was next to the Sound Garden this weekend.
“Where are you from?” never gets a quick and easy answer from me. How are we defining this? Place you were born? Place you live now? Place you lived the longest? Place you spent your most formative years? Even that last one isn’t an easy answer for me.
Whichever of those options gives you the most interesting choice is how I would approach it tbh.
Where I grew up (ish)

Don’t know a single track by an artist from Barnet. I reckon I could have gone on to make the best one with a bit of encouragement and direction earlier in in life. Hell, I might have done it already.
Oh yeah, you’re down in the city, right? I was born there, my family moved east immediately, but then I eventually came back and have been living up north in the suburbs for several years now.

Except for me of course, I’m luminous lol

Not an amazing song admittedly (though fun) but I DJ in a pub next door to a market. The very market that Kelly Jones writes about in ‘More Life In A Tramp’s Vest.’ Always mildly amuses me whenever I play it during a night.

Ah, so many posters from so many places that actually had people and places and culture and whatnot
My village (not city)'s only cultural icon was an esteemed potato breeder in the early 20th century

I actually just looked up ‘Bands from [where I’m actually from]’ and the first result was for council tax bands, which is about right.
