jonathan howell said: My Mum by contrast came out with the most ridiculous statement "You shouldn't listen to that sort of thing in public, people will make assumptions about your sexuality", I just laughed at her (she also said the same thing about reading Oscar Wilde in public) my god man! what will people think of us if god forbid a bit of MORRISEY filters out and onto the street from an open car window...? "nueters", they'll whisper all hushed and eye suspicious, playing peeping tom and trying to get a good look b/f the light flicks backs to green and sends us off and out of ear shot... and what about bands like JOAN OF ARC...? all blip-blip and beeping, whining semi-electronic under the safehaven title "emo"...what will people think...? androgyny...for sure. i'll be sure to keep my headphones at a mouse squeak peeping... and "picture of dorian grey" safely hidden behind a copy of "archie and jughead"...(will they think i'm a dirty old perv if i read bukowski in public, brier?) and i'd suggest all you boys and girls to do the same. but then again...b&s has somehow become synonymous with "charlie brown" in this tiny sector of terrible america...b&s (specifically b&s) has become known as "charlie brown music"...somebody blurted it one day and it stuck (who was it jessica? did rox coin the phrase?): "turn off yr goddamn charlie brown music!" and they slip in a more widely accepted "bikini kill" and i sit in the back seat and watch the scenery go past, head scratching and thinking about Linus tinkling out "seeing other people" on that genius piano of his, all safe and thumb-sucking with blankey. its picture perfect. new album: b&s do charlie brown. and you know it would work too, but no one wants to admitt it...Linus was so very twee...and Charlie couldn't talk to his dream girl, either...the similarities are rather shocking...somewhere, somehow stuart and charlie must have crossed lines...i'm blaming it all on Linus...never trust the silent ones... stephen hewitt said: C'mon kids, get with the programme, shyness is soooo 90s. I for one would much rather read tales of random snogging than tales of missed opportunities... you asked for it...so, i finally managed to seduce mr.billybartender whose ohsosexy in that supergeek kind of way with his love of M*A*S*H and his treefrog tattoo which he call by its scientific name: riggormortus amphibien, or something dangerously intimidatng...so finally, after false starts and him losing count of a handful of nickles and "bashing melons" and amoung other curious incidences... i'm standing in near the bar cutting limes. sexy with the knife. and he likes the way i cut limes. it turns him on...i giggle up to him, nibble on his ear when the other on-duty bartender isn't looking...the straw that broke the camel's (or the treefog's) back...so he grabs me by the back belt loop while i'm still knife in hand, drags me all flushed into the office and i never put the knife down and didn't know what to do with it...and b/f i know what's happening i'm back against the fake woodpanelling and billy's mouth is against mine...suppose all the shifts of talking about licking beer off of each other and how to give proper head, and let-me-put-my-hands-conviently-HERE-so-we-can-pass-each-other-behind-the-bar-oops-was-my-hand-really-THERE got to him...tales of success. lisa wins and she doesn't even wear contact lenses...billy does. -listdomlisa who plays piano like Linus. kiki: i threw a coin in the fountian to keep you from poutin'...
