    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    on which note, kfc recently launching a kind of wrap called the iTwist. i've been saying this for years. except i agree more with the person who said three. even more civilised. although having said that, a 37.5 hour week or whatever might not be too bad as long as it didn't involve going to...

    William Burroughs on Led Zeppelin (Arthur Mag 1975)

    i like the way burroughs brings up sonic weaponry and goes on to anticpate the fetishisation of sub-bass. eat your heart out, steve goodman.

    Hangover Cures

    yeah surely there's no secret, you just want lots of everything, including vitamin c i would have thought. and caffeine makes you feel better (temporarily). don't eat marmite though, it's griiim

    never would be nice but you see some girls wearing them again. i don't care about clothes at all when they're on other people, but any kind of flares winds me up for some reason. hazelnut allergies are quite common in the usa because the english puritans wouldn't touch them and consequently...

    your favorite junglist auteur

    i've only just noticed that on hitman, marvelous cain nicked his amens from renegade - terrorist. in the quiet bits you can hear the hoover bass that he hasn't quite managed to eq out. er, yep. as you were.

    Fucking Hell is this real?

    big up the boyfriend for keeping it and feeding it beetles :) people who are scared of spiders do seem to have an honest tendency to exaggerate the size of them... but don't weirdo exotic species come over in shipments of fruit and stuff sometimes? i think i remember stories about a black widow...

    what are you reading now?

    yeah stuff like the holes struck me as a bit dada maybe. i don't know anything about nouveau roman or christine brooke-rose to be honest, but i'll hit wikipedia at some point! i agree it doesn't matter at all. that 50s going on 70s crapness is really pungent, i like that. i'm onto trawl now...

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    i think you deserved more winks and nudges for that. yes. some of you need to shape up and eat tomatoes. i think i eat at least one big raw tomato (or sometimes a fried one) every day at the moment. that's why i'm so fit and healthy. i didn't like them when i was a kid, but that's no reason. i...

    what are you reading now?

    i like robert hughes. in a level art classes sometimes they used to show us a series he made for channel 4 (i think) called 'shock of the new'. it was about modernism in art and his stridency affirmed the subject matter in a sort of inspiring way. but anyway i'm reading albert angelo by b s...

    selling vinyl records in London

    I think the best strategy is taking it wherever the staff will have the best idea what you're selling. The policy is generally if they don't know, they can't offer you much. The people at MVE dance and soul shop in Notting Hill should be fairly good for all that music. And Camden as well for...

    The press release hall of shame thread

    ok, maybe not the most egregious item on this smorgasbord, but the frequency of lofty expressions in this one is quite funny. especially rate the use of "apropos". "A culmination of years of work spent refining his sui generis sound, *****’s eagerly awaited debut album is finally here. An...

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    "I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they're going to take my creativity from me." ha. i think i might really hate people who define themselves by their "creativity". anyway, she's had a little pop, can someone just hit her over the head with a brick now until she falls over...

    Funky/London/UK House

    all internet forums tend to make me alternately rage and weep over the worthlessness of saying anything, hearing what anyone has to say, or even in fact living. apart from dissensus, that is. and even then it can be borderline to be honest. can't understand how anyone tolerates ilx for one...
