I can sort of cope with the idea that Eno is a bit self-satisfied at times. The diary book he wrote, "A Year With Swollen Appendices" is a mixture of thought-provoking and smug on almost every page but he's so good when he's good that I always feel obliged to give him the benefit of the doubt...

Furthermore, Kid Shirt Nochexxx review & interview here.

Feel compelled to point out this isn't backpacky! No offence... :D

Stop, Brothers, you're killing me!

This reminds me of an as yet untested game me and my girlfriend invented to play in job interviews whereby when you are asked a question you roll your eyes back in your head and pull a sort of shamanic mong-face before snapping back to normal and answering with articulate lucidity. As I say I...

I think I would have struggled to have held in some straight-faced question about really massive cutlery.

Well that's cheering in a sense. On the heads up asses question I heard Radio 4's take on this story yesterday and it seemed to be unwittingly attempting to reinforce the notion that we are essentially too stupid to live.

I tip my hat. Very good.

Uh...*Butthead-style-laughter*... No. And this kid thinks he can beat my goat curry! :p

Personally I think the idea of you and Bobby sitting in the park all night adds nicely to the mythology. Playing to a packed and sweaty house one minute and shivering your tits off with a can of Stella on a bench for the rest of the night. It's like some Belleville Three shit.

yah mo b there.

Wiley is http://twitter.com/vneckjumper. You'll be surprised to hear he's got a touch of the egomaniac about him. I'm now strapped in for the rollercoaster ride of your tweets Mr. Eden...

I can think of more than a few combinations with comedy mileage, but essentially the idea of band dynamics mixing it up with board dynamics plus massive self-conscious musical geekery/axes to grind (:p) would overpower my sensibilities I feel. Can you really play bass though Mr T?

What a terrifying concept Mistersloane!

I know this isn't the Wetherspoons thread but has anyone been in that one in Forest Hill? Went in there on about Jan 3rd in seriously post-Xmas depleted mode and it was like some kind of end-of-capitalism scenario soundtracked by The Caretaker crossed with, well, a Wetherspoons.

No this was Mother Earth. Also an interesting clientele.

Yup. They guy I particularly liked was this black dude in a rather outre shiny suit, sunglasses and a pith helmet, who always seemed to be in there holding a bottle of white wine in a wine cooler. Really rocking the insane African dictator look. I tried to get a photo of him with my girlfriend...

I'm not a Londoner but my girlfriend worked in the wholefood shop Stoke Newington for a bit and occasionally I would keep her company by sitting about a mile away in the weatherspoons on the High Street. Very entertaining from a people-watching point of view. I would second the comment someone...

I normally find annoyingness quite a turn-on, but the woman has to be attractive as well, so Sam Taylor-Wood doesn't really tick any boxes for me. Sorry, forgot the NO BITCHING rule. :eek:
