I felt I could almost have been seeing
ROMAN FLEUVE Llaurra L sometimes talks about hot chocolate, which sometimes reminds me of Proust. Isn't in vol 2 (of 3) when he goes to live in the barracks and has chocolate with the soldier? I have to tell you gals, the way the soldiers love silly Marcel really rankles with me. The way he treats the gals at the end of vol one is even worse. I 'like' Proust and all, but I sure dislike it too. THE QUIET PUB WHERE WE FIRST MEET Ally96 sometimes talks about the Visitors and wonders why no-one else openly likes them. I know what he means: I like them, but only in the back of my mind. I mean, I think abstractly that I like them, but that they're mostly not so special. BUT - this is the point - then I play their CD again, and the first 3 tracks never fail to excite, to move, to thrill. I'm serious - the melancholy jaunt of 'Goldmining' with its bravura chorus leaps; the extraordinary tumble into the horses'-hooves rush of 'Bliss' with its backward guitar shimmering in, its incredibly poignant chorus; the audacious way the singer hurls himself up the enjambement* of 'sleeping / pills', which I think is in 'Back At My Pied-a-Terre'. These songs do buzz, do take me along with them, wherever it is they're going for a minute. And frankly, the rest of the LP is pretty good too; but I've usually managed to tie my laces by then. [*: a tube station in London.] TODAY I LEARNED AN IMPORTANT TRUTH ABOUT MEN People talked about Sex & The City. I have this to say about that programme: the obvious thing to say about it is, 'It's pure froth and fantasy, nothing to do with real NYC life'. But the funny thing is that when I saw it last week, it really *did* remind me of real NYC life. Only the facial hair was missing, really. That is one of two things that I have to say about television&NewYorkCity. But they're such *twentieth-century* topics that I'm going to bail out of the theme now. What next, a book about How And Where Miles Davis Recorded Kind Of Blue? IT REMAINS UNRESOLVED Has anyone ever thought that the gift of melody might be genetically transmitted? Has anyone yet bought the Lollies to serve as an Art Pop Project once a year? Where is Miller anyway? Not to mention Utah. COOKIE CHALLENGE Cookie96 once said: the band myself. Perhaps I could have been. I was in the city at the time (I usually am) which I think was funny; why did nobody write and say so?
I was too distracted with dashing into coffee-shops (houses?) looking for Nu-Yoikers. Which Nu-Yoikers? ANY Nu-Yoikers.
I don't understand.
Someone should write a song about it.
They probably have. They?
Maybe I should write a song about it. No, that would probably be a bad idea. It would never live up to expectations. It would never live up to Expectations.
Oooh!
As Calumn Shearer once said whilst driving down a side-street with parked cars on either side at 60mph; "I like a challenge". We were in pursuit of a bus. It's a short story.
I thought this was really funny, too. Again nobody said so. I wonder why not. Do 96's posts only get delivered to my account or something?
But Pinefox, surely YOU are a sensitive boy? Aren't you?
I'm a fluorescence.
the go-betweens. if i had to justify my love, it wouldn't be love You See?
No. Or rather, yes. I said all that on my Orange Juice post weeks ago, mon. WITHIN THESE CINEMA WALLS About that soundtrack. Sorry there'e been no news for a while, but things are moving again. The title has been changed to 'A Delerious Kiss In The Dreamhouse'. It was something else last week. It'll change again. Mark my Cazzas. Right now I'm renegotiating with the guitarist from Camera Obscura to play the lead stuff, after we scrapped the stuff we had in the can by Ally96 and Stevie Jackson. The former was too expensive, the latter not really talented enough. This CO guy could be the answer. This movie is going to play big, see. It's all about the money, it's all about the money. It's all about Cynthia Stevenson. It's all about Louise Lasser. I need a drink. Marcel? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
