well, hello! Fancy seeing you here, long time since I've posted. I'm about to Finish working this Friday for the Financial services company I've been with For the past six months. I've become chummy with the IT bloke, and tried to convince him to get "Take your carriage clock and shove it" as the phone thing when you know, people are waiting for the phone, and they go on hold. The hold music, I think its called. But it didn't work. ho well. UsUally I come home from work and fall asleep for a few hoUrs. But I've been making an effort and going on sinister chat. we have sUch smUtty fUn. Its not big, its not clever, bUt it makes me laUgh. Ken will be Upset I'm sUre saying its not big. oops. Cigarettes have found their sneaky way baCk into my mouth again. I don't know why or how, just one day, I was sitting there, and boof, there was a Ciggie hanging from my lip. Never leave your lips unattended. I've also deCided to Continue writing my fanzine. I was going to throw it all in and Concerntrate on sleeping, but I got an interview out of Camera ObsCuras Gav, so thats inspired me. Its hard you know, keeping it going. I mean, SCotland has a handful of good fanzines already. and when theres this slight deterioration in the interest in the loCal sCene, how Can anyone keep it alive? its tough work you know. Knowing though, that there is very little in the mainstream publications for people liKe me, helps. I mean, all I have to do is picK up a copy of the NME and froth at the mouth at how rubbish it is. And when its got Kylie on the cover, you Know that there is no hope of them actually having some unKnown talent between the pages. Lets face it, there is no competition for indie fanzines. The NME is not an indie/underground/alternative publication. Its like being little saplings in a big forest. And theres a huge gap in the folliage above. The toughest bit, is Keeping up the determination, and just worKing away, and loosing money. Maybe you agree with Me. Enough alrEady. love, idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke. And it felt good. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
