just so you know, in order not to waste space on the list ive waited nearly a week looking for something i can respond to, so that i can just mention offhand that i have had a promo copy of the new hefner album for nearly a week now. i shall proceed to do that in this missive, but dont worry, i will do it with such grace and subtlety that you wont even see the join. the bill wells/future pilot aka album is a thing of mournful beauty, but theres not actually as many tracks as there appears to be. i mean, there is, but half of them are just that robot who plays live with looper saying "fuuuuuture pilot aka", or variations on that theme. but its still great, as is the future pilot aka vs a galaxy of sound lp, which also has some bill wells stuff, and so presumably some stevie jackson stuff. useless information: going by the sleevenotes to the mini album theres only seven people in the octet. and one of thems a pastel, so she doesnt really count either. however (here it comes, pay attention) i havent had a chance to listen to any of this stuff for a while, as for NEARLY A WEEK i have had a PROMO COPY of THE NEW HEFNER ALBUM. that should do the trick. on the subject of stuart murdochs dancing, from close observation at bowlie it seems to be based on the 'swing your pants' style, as popularised by trevor and simon on saturday morning tv when we were little. stevie jackson went for the much more dignified 'slow nod', which served him quite well when used in conjunction with the more well known 'aloof gaze over the crowd'. look at my subject line! its the first line of a song i just wrote for second guess. one day i will break some hearts. observe: "once long ago i was happy i think i remember ropeswings and blackcurrant drink im pretty sure that you were there ive got this image in my head of flowers in your hair it doesnt work that way anymore brief moments of lucidity are all i can hope for they dont come often so understand i have to cling to them when i get the chance" it sort of relates to that innocence lost theme that someone was talking about, yeah? if anyone wants to know what second guess sound like, well, you know that feeling you get when youre lying awake in the early hours of the morning and suddenly you cant feel the bed below you, like youre floating or something, and you know that as soon as you move a muscle itll all be over, but for now everything makes sense and youve got the answers to all the questions, and youre trying to not move, to not even breathe, because you want the moment to go on as long as possible? well thats what second guess sound like. one day youll thank me from tjohn "and do you think its possible to be sensitive and strong?"
