howdy... ...i've just about recovered from the recent flurry of B+S activity...i can get back to the usual incoherent,rambling, entirely content-free posts of old...although the peel session songs have got me unreasonably excited about the forthcoming EP (and future albums)...if this is the standard of stuff that they wont even bother properly releasing then sweet jesus i cant wait...'magic of a kind word' is just the most fantastically danceable peice of greatness since..well...jonathan david...especially the sixties style 'woooooo' shout halfway through...and as for the belle and sebastian do twee hip-hop stylee of 'shoot the sexual athlete'..mmmmmmarvellous.. ...i'll have to think of something else to do on national belle and sebastian day...getting to london is too expensive for my already ridiculously stretched budget...perhaps i'll just run around some feilds with 'tigermilk' on my walkman, eating cake...being unemployed is more depressing than i imagined..i'm not even technically a student anymore so i cant use that as an excuse for being poor,lazy and unwilling to work...i am in fact, merely a bum...a very bored bum at that... a trip to the dentists the other day was almost a highlight...especially the bizzare cable channel they have running in the waiting room...from what i could gather, 'the smile channel' had an output consisting of looped videos of chimpanzees throwing protective goggles around, refusing to sit up straight in the dentists chair and visiting second hand clothes shops in soho...perhaps patients are so busy trying to work out what the hell is going on they will forget the instruments of torture and unbearable pain that awaits them...i think maybe i have hit a brick wall when this constitutes entertainment..i have been living in waiting rooms for the last four weeks..an endless round of job centres,employment agencies,surgeries and banks..all i've managed to achieve is the knowledge that i know less than i imagined about computers (ie nothing) and no bugger will give me a job...things, as usual, havent worked out quite the way i planned them to..actually thats a lie..i havent planned anything really...thats the problem...i never know where i'm going or what i'm going to do with...life..and stuff...i should be feeling wonderful i suppose..freedom for at least a year..to whatever i want..with no responsibility, commitment etc..hmmmm...bit i just can work out what to do with it... ...reading 'the bell jar' and listening to 'pink moon' probably hasnt helped...in saying that however, i only brought 'pink moon' last week and going on reputation i expected it to be half an hour of pure naked, unbearable misery...i actually found most of it to be kind of uplifting, especially 'from the morning'...nick drake depressed? tcha!...where was this post going?...i've completely forgotten... ta ta... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
