    Oh Mistersloane, stop being such a touchy nigger* * I mean 'nigger' in the sense of 'dirty ignorant subhuman ape', it's just something my friends call people when we want something stronger than 'motherfucker', not racist or anything, no biggie. PS: you missed out Guyana, as this scary article...

    Vampire *fucking* Weekend

    I remember some NME pranny writing that "our generation" should feel "privileged to be host to a band of that magnitude", or something, & that in twenty years we'd look back with pride that we were "there at the beginning" :D I think the reason for the gut-level disgust of Vampire Weekend is...

    Vampire *fucking* Weekend

    I dunno ... maybe the problem is that if you called them "really quite good", I think they'd be all smiley & happy & pleased. They're not aiming any higher. A band with that little ambition doesn't deserve a stage ;)

    Nice to see you're a man of your word anyway. Which one of them bought you the turntable? :D

    The classics are always the best. Incidentally, if you search Google Images for 'Millie Jackson's Back To The Shit' you get this: ... and this: Funny old world!

    You're telling me with that thing you can record anything you like? On brown 'ASSMANN' brand vinyl??? I'm masturbating as I type this.

    Size Zero Bullshit

    & you'll wear a pair of sunglasses!! Jeff Nuttall writes about this in Bomb Culture: the desire to be COOL, that is, almost psychopathically impenetrable.

    Size Zero Bullshit

    Like that? Yeah, it's interesting. All spindly flesh as hard & fine & smooth as bone. Changeless & unwobbling & therefore implicitly beyond life & time or something like that. It's all about fear of bodily functions, ageing & death, isn't it? Same reason goth kids costume as...

    From that article: "We are in R&D doing songs right now and are working on other applications that are more automated-response solutions, such as a smart phone. I can’t be very specific about it, but basically, it would be an interactive phone that would talk back to you in a desired person’s...

    Finest closing in literature

    For a decade, for me, it's James Joyce, 'Finnegans Wake', last page (& a bit): I'll slip away before they're up. They'll never see. Nor know. Nor miss me. And it's old and old it's sad and old it's sad and weary I go back to you, my cold father, my cold mad father, my cold mad feary father...

    Aeroplane's a beautiful record. Unashamedly simple structures, really direct & harsh & unfashionable but just punchy enough & so it still works for me even after all these years. Nice dissonance in the bagpipes & Jeff's voice. Good lyrics. & he's properly crackers too, which shouldn't...
