Nice to know that my t-shirt has stirred up a debate... not that I'm particularly concerned with people making comment on it, you know, I don't expect people to approach me in the street or anything. It's just to dress more and more bizarrely in front of my friends - the more rawk they get the more gay I get. And I suppose this was aimed at me, your fluffyness:
Look! That is why Pop Music (TM the duke I supose) is so shite!
People are saying, oh well it's alright, and settling for dull boring
plodder, like Gomez, Catatonia and Gary Dad to name but a few!
ITS YOUR FAULT!!! Have some standards! Say, NO THIS *IS
CRAP AND I WILL NOT play along with the easy way out
anymore!!! Heck!
To quote John McKeown of the yummy fur (bear with me here) "Chart pop targets are a mile wide and there's no satisfaction in hitting them" that's to say that while you (and I frankly) find these people boring they are on OUR side i.e they are making music for arts sake unlike 75% of the people in the chart and we're not going to change things while we fight amongst ourselves. BTW I've changed my mind about Gay Dad, by the 5th or 6th listen it's just dull. Still, better that than fucking boyzone. Right? Do you people know who is number one over here? The offspring! We need a revolution now. What else was there, oh yeah, a friendly little mail I got from geocities informing me they'd been taken over by 'yahoo!' Hmmn, the temptation of Tripod grows stronger by the day. That little logo at the bottom of my page makes me feel ill. Rootjoose? Aren't they christian rock? That just scares me. Not sure about the dearth of imaginary characters popping up at the moment. Sleazy Stan's just like ye olde unreformed brad, doncha think? Plus that disgusting fraggle rock rhyme, which I remember from school too. I can remember 2 more verses aswell. Oooh, and...
1. Nick Drake "Bryter Layter" (1970)
2. Tom Waits "Rain Dogs" (1985)
3. The Band "The Band" (1969)
4. Gene Clark "No Other" (1974)
5. Nick Drake "Five Leaves Left" (1969)
6. The Beatles "A Hard Day's Night" (1964)
Five of my favorite albums (plus someone called 'gene clarke' !?!?) I have new found respect for mus biz creative types. My dad's got 'rain dogs' - it irritates my stepmother no end. Best line: "I never could stand that dog." It's funny in context, believe me. MLS, a few people have informed me, are still around (well, it's Jake really...) and have a new album out in a while, having found a new record label. I think Sex & Violins was done via parlophone so it's probably died, unfortunately. Oh, and finally I've finished all my work and now I'm going off for a couple of weeks so you won't be hearing from me for a while. If anyone wants to contact me I may check an account I have at boywiththearabstrap@chickmail.com from time to time. Glad to get a semesters work of essays out of the way in one week - One was about disney and I found some really scary sites while researching the subject. Go and check out http://www.qualia- net.com/religion/joe_lion.html This is a description of how Disney's lion king is blatantly attempting to convert america's children to witchcraft and homosexuality. It's not a joke. Well, I'll see you all in a couple of weeks james xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <nofill> "Across the mountains of your chest, through the holes in your string vest" Inane rambling, manic rants, funky piccies, pointless tables, self indulgence, emetic colouring...
