It's finally here, the year of the Rat. Not that it will be more significant than any other CNYs, I simply love the long holidays. It's longer this year as the new year falls on a Sunday. On a less celebratory note, we are on the brink of another plague threat. The Wuhan virus claimed its first victim here just two days ago, followed by two more yesterday. I remember that year when SARS wreaked havoc in 2003 & plunged the economy into the gutters. Bleak times ahead, it seems & that's a little too soon considering many of us were treated with crumbs as bonus at the close of 2019. The irony of celebrating the year of the rat knowing these critters were disease carriers back in the old days.
That aside, I'm looking forward to have some guitar moments this long weekend with very little other things planned to fill the holidays. Here's Like Rats by Godflesh from their 1989 release, Streetcleaner. Wishing everyone a virus-free holiday.

Absolutely my favourite album opener ever. The sense of feedback mounting out of control is fabulous!
