Hello, Ok so it wasn't love that jumped through my window it was a cat. And technically ,no, it didn't jump it just stared through the open window. But you know what I mean. And don't ask why my window was open in the midst of winter as I'd have to explain the eccentricities of the central heating in my abode, and that would involve diagrams and a Liebig Condenser's and it would all get a bit tricky. Back to the cat though, my instant reaction in face of this tabby lardy intruder from down the road was to spit loudly and supposedly catlike, which is quite difficult to do without projecting phlegm, at said cat. As it wandered off eventually I heard a very strange noise, I swear it was laughing at me. Ho hum... Today I have become exceedingly frustrated with the contemporary music scene, by this I mean I've forgotten to bring any CD's to work to listen to. Therefore, I've decided to invent a new musical genre for the next century. That being: Gangster Indiepop. It shall be bands wearing clothes they stole from their parents, and songs about stealing sweets from the tuckshop, not paying for the whole journey on the bus, playing knock down ginger (and I don't mean punching Geri Haliwell) and other real life documentation's from the streets of Suburbia. And they'll mean it maaan. And while we're down with the Gangster scene, I still haven't bloody found that new Stereolab CD though I still have the case and cover. Which like Brad's haemorrhoids is a complete pain in the a(r)s(s)(e). If anyone wants to be part of the Gangster scene and copy it for me, preferably onto CD, they would get a lot of props and stuff, and I'd do them something or someone in return like. I just B*grudge buying the same CD twice. B*grudge by the way are the grungy alter-ego band of B*witched that play grunge with a Celtic flavour. Nice. And also bizarrely this week I've been told I could possibly be sent to Paris, France for 6 weeks to do some "user acceptability testing". I've know idea what this involves, but if it does mean saying yes this is acceptable and no this really isn't acceptable alternatively whilst drinking red wine and munching cheese then I feel I am totally capable of doing this. But I suspect my boss could be one of those nice apocalypticphobe types and he's just making up stuff for everyone so they have a joyous last three weeks of existence. Anyhow I must apologise for my length, it's got a mind of its own. Te ra, Martin ear confection recordings (http:/www.send.demon.co.uk) P.S I've noticed the appending of private messages to mails so I've subscribed my mum to the list now to keep her informed. Mum, can you clean the projected phlegm off my window and I'll be home at 5 for tea. Can I have fish cakes?
