Sinister: Levez Vos Skinny Fists Comme Bodiless Flamingos.
Hey, hey... feeling good in every way... I've got a holiday job in Habitat which is much nicer than Sainsburies (Sain's berries? Are they poisonous?) and not as pretentious as the people in Books Etc. who spurned my natural emotions by losing my CV twice, and that hurts, but also they make me feel like dirt 'cos I haven't read Camus, and that's woo-oo-rse, yeah. Had the hilarious "realising that we all know that sex to music is tacky but hey we're bored so what tune what you ideally lose your virginity while it played, and no emphasing yr imaged sex-yule stamina by picking something by GsYBE or Mogwai Fear Satan or something..." conversation today, it went: Paddy: Marvin Gaye - Lets Get It On Me: Undertones- Teenage Kicks Everyone Else: Yeah, Lets Get On, Definately. Or Sexual Healing. Dan: Flying Without Wings Everyone Else: oh... my... god... he's not joking... [projectiles thrown] I'm going for four red chilli peppers here, I'm too young to be smutty but I don't care, I'm too twee for hardcore porn so this is the best I've got to give, one day I will get a camera and then will the bodyparts fly in, oh yes. As will the crush votes. Oh yes.
A couple of weeks ago, Julie Burchill tried to sound Important and Controversial in the Guardian by writing about grown-ups who profess to like P!O!P! and how they should leave shiny, fluffy music in the territory of teenagers.
Which is complete and utter bullshit, of course, and shows how indescribably little Burchill knows about anything, least of all the teenagers shes so "down" with*... P!O!P! isn't made for teenegers these days, it's marketed at 8-12s, there's no difference between a seventeen-year old like me being official Daphne & Celeste fan club member #1069 and Alistair Fitchett praising them on Tangents. Except he's cooler, and my website isn't dead. Also, I have a six foot by four foot poster of Robbie Williams on my ceiling, and for all I know so does he, but I doubt he freaks out every morning when he wakes up to see the huge looming face of Robbie in clown face-make up. Still, no need for coffee... *Substitute "on", for xtra smut. What else...
We were about to enjoy performances by Madison Avenue, Oxide & Neutrino, Sugababes and S Club 7 Yesyes, but the Sugababes are fantastic, ever if 'New Year' is no 'Overload'... almost as good as 'Boys' by B.O.N, for which discovery I thank Erica MacArthur, even if her P!O!P!Star friends Baxendale have yet to sent me my competition prize record... Hmmm... the sugababes are almost as good as boys, mmm boys. Although I'm not really gay, I'm just so narcistic that I fancy boys who look like me. There should be a sini-meetup at BaxendTrash on Monday, for do they not proclaim on their website: "Har har har, and we don't even OWN a black leather jacket between us. Mayhem we imagine."? Yes. Yes, they do.
I was tempted to listen to Beyond the Sunrise in light of revelations that it's infact filthy S!M!U!T!, but lets face it, it's always gonna be crap, isn't it? This isn't a link to the crush page, but instead some belletristic fiction: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2000/10/27dolores.html . Still tha fucking nail, tho. See what a hip listee I am? Brad references. Yeah. Someone said that L!I!S!A! and Christiaaaaaaaaan should be togethor, maaaan, and someone should come in to wipe the walls clean, well this is true. They could even join in, I think they'd both enjoy that. My qualifications for this job are in the mail. Fake Irish/American accents and blue tinted glasses at all times since 19/08/00...

I thought Julie B was rather on-point there actually. Don't get me wrong, I think she get's too caught up in hating everyone too much of the time, but this time she's not suggesting burning beautiful things at the stake (with the obligitory "he's a list of good-looking women I *do* like" tagged on the end) She's not saying you can't enjoy it, she's saying don't try to understand it, don't pick it apart and poke at it. Adults are not going to have the same emotion, the same love about pop music as young people will. Though Tim from Baxendale does a pretty convincing impression of being the eternal popkid, we know that in real life, he does go home and listens to Momus and Hefner and the Boards of Canada, as well as Geri Halliwell and Oxide and Neutrino whilst penning songs about his failed love affairs. Yes - he's a charmingly hapless romeo. This isn't Craig David material. Yes I am a stuck record. Shut up! I don't think you can turn around as a weathered, rent-paying adult, who has seen all the mess and dirt which comes with the teritory of growing up and moving out - I don't think you can then generate quite the same level of fantasy and excitement a 13 year old girl would over the verse chorus verse verse chorus. Didn't you find, when Alistair first wrote about Baxendale on Tangents, it was with a sense of sadness? and he put it down to age and the fact that he couldn't really loose himself in the whole thing anymore. He called it "lack of ability to suspend belief", probably because he's a writer and he's got to make it sound more fancy. Most of my pop dreams were over by the end of Primary School - my friends all decided they liked Nivarana and Guns and Roses because their sweaty sisters did, so it was byebye TakeThat wristbands, Hello Skull Bandana. I am back to liking commercial Pop again after a fairly long stray into the wilderness. There's a list of my favourite songs of the year here: http://members.boardhost.com/natureshated/msg/4173.html Right, I'm going to go and rub my thighs furiously in a Vic Reeves style in front of a picture of Jude Law. Bah Humbug.
