hello :) ...hmmm..this is the first real oppurtunity i've had to post in a couple of weeks..i never thought full time work would be such a full-time job...i barely have time to go home and sleep before i'm up again and braving the wrath of disgruntled book club customers...people can be so RUDE sometimes...i dont mind so much though..it feels satisfying in a strange way..winters coming but i know i'm actually working towards something, saving up money and then going off to see the world for a while..staying in this town for a few more months doesnt seem so bad right now..i'm actually looking forward at the minute..ready for some kind of adventure..wow..i'm being really positive :)..i'm off sick today though, being comforted by the strange electronic sounds of the new hefner album...its quite nice i think...but maybe they're trying a bit too hard to take a different direction...listing all the gadgets they used to make the album on the inside cover is surely not neccessary...there really is no need when you can come up with such fantastic records as the fidelity wars... ...i liked the story about the belle and sebastian club night in Greece...i always seem to attract sketchy old men too...i dont think they find me attractive so i can only assume they see me as a kindred spirit, a fellow nutcase they can discuss matters of the world with which is a bit worrying...maybe i just radiate wierdo vibes..last weeks paticular lunatic was an allegedly hardcore religious fanatic who didnt drink, smoke or swear (it must have been his night off) who kept telling me how swedish people play the guitar and calling me 'rock and roll man yeah' and accused my friend of being a native indian who was wearing special contact lenses to hide 'the evil red' in his eyes...in my own small way i had a little b+s club night of my own though when i persuaded my ska-punk loving friend to play 'le pastie de la bourgeoise' at his dj night...admittidley it was just as everyone was leaving and the looks on the faces of the fourteen year old skater audience was enough to curdle milk...but i smiled and danced anyway...i felt like an elderly uncle 'grooving' at a wedding... ..on the subject of the reindeer section...i cant help loving the album...keeping in mind that it was recorded in two weeks (i think) with assorted musicians who have vastly different styles of playing and making music i think it was a pretty succesful experiment..there are more than enough decent songs on there to warrant buying it...it could have maybe been trimmed down by a few tracks..but 'nytol' and 'firebell' and 'will you please be there for me' and many others make it one of the best albums i've purchased this year...but thats just me...so actually dont bother buying it...i have terrible taste..hmmmm...i think i've gone on too long.. ta ta :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
