    Stephen Merritt

    He would easily get my vote as the greatest songwriter working today. 69 Love Songs is just this towering entity. I'm having some relationship issues at the moment though, so my Wolf Eyes thing has fallen right off...

    Sensational

    It's a bit of an own goal for Wordsound, in my opinion, albeit informative. Skiz comes across as a nice guy whose ethusiasm leads him to bankroll everything from the occasionally godlike genius of Sensational (for whom these typing fingers have once skun-up) to various bobbins which I won't name.

    The sacred cows

    A few New Years ago I endured a day of bickering about who was going out and who was babysitting, amidst some particularly tangly personal relationships, but eventually ended up escorting two women to two parties that I wanted to be at but they didn't. Then they made me take them home almost...

    Jay-Z is killing off Glastonbury festival

    Well, I remember being there many years ago, on acid, seperated from my friends watching first Ozric Tentacles and then Hawkwind. Some kid wearing only very dirty grey jogging bottoms was hanging off the scaffolding of the stage, swaying from side to side and staring with druggy intensity at the...

    Jay-Z is killing off Glastonbury festival

    This is annoying me. Glastonbury should be about 20000 people and most of them should be crusties. It should look a bit like it's been drawn by someone at 2000AD. It should be kind of exhilarating in a post-apocalyptic kind of way, and drugs should play a major, major role. It should be a vision...

    the origin of nang

    I might start using her full name for emphasis, just to be hipsterish.

    hangovers

    Maybe it wasn't the McDonalds then. Maybe it was just the (comparatively) sweet clean air of central London. Hey HM Govt, I can't find the thread where someone (possibly you) was on about freaky street characters and mentioned the Cambridge guy on a bike with the plastic bag blaring...

    Yeah. That's my rule too. It's some shaky ethics, I realise...

    hangovers

    What I don't get is how sometimes you wake up feeling like death, but then when you've crawled out of bed and had a cup of tea you're suddenly OK, and yet sometimes you think you're OK when you wake up, and then at about 10:30 in the morning you realise you're totally incapacitated. I seem to...

    hangovers

    Sometimes I think there are an infinite variety of types of hangover. My most common awful ones are the kind where I don't feel sick or have a headache, but I get this weird throbbing in the back of my neck that makes me feel I'm going to pass out. I too get that thing of a verse of a song...

    fuck buttons

    Saw them a little while ago with Alexander Tucker. He was chaotic and a bit crap and I warmed to him. They were punching the air, bobbing about and had the same transgressive growl-vox on every tune. They annoyed me a bit. Audience seemed to be buying it, though...

    People with annoying faces

    This young lady also pushes all my buttons.

    People with annoying faces

    This guy keeps almost destroying my fragile sense of self of a Sunday morning.

    Urban handshakes

    Me and my mate used to have this thing where we'd do this inadequate middle-class teen boy version of a Macca/Paul Hardcastle thumbs aloft, which was basically making nervous eye-contact (but not speaking) and allowing the tip of your thum to appear out of your fist at waist height, maybe just...

    getting started with sun ra

    My pal MFU has got a bit of a Sonny problem at the moment. If you check this thread about halfway down he does a bit of a basic rundown on what he considers the greatest as of right now. But there's tons of stuff being unearthed all the time. He just told me he got the 28 CD box set in the post...

    Crunchy nut, you feel me. Please, no spoilers concerning Omar, as my man Ascoltare is only up to the end of S4! :p;)

    "An England Story"

    I was all set to buy this until I noticed the hideous lack of Kenny Knots.

    The Wire, Arrested Development - Prototypes of a new type of telly?

    Yeah, I enjoyed This Life, much as it pains me to admit it. A better homegrown example would be Cops, but still not in the same league as The Wire.

    DJs... what cartridges?

    I hear what you're saying. Part of my worry is spending substantial amounts and then taking them out to parties and things. I guess if money was less important i'd have a listening set and a DJing set. Reckon I'll bite the bullet and spring for these M447s, so thanks for the advice.
