is everything here? ... yes, ok...so i'm ready then... right... "Hi there sinister!" "When i don't post forever i have to go back and read that months worth of email that i wanted to respond to but where too lazy to do so at the time etc. and now... "i was going to harangue Steve Christopher Walken about 'how do _you_ know that that is _really_ what brian wilson meant? and where do you get off thinking that the _last_ drug addled completely incoherent napkin with information on it that bw sent to the record company is even worth considering? how are we going through the motions of assigining value to these jottings and correspondances?' etc. but i won't. he likes the nation of ulysses. "can i say something about ribena? its ok, but it isn't as cool as vimto because vimto comes from saudi arabia. its also no patch on peardrax, which is the most complicated and many faceted artificial flavour ever! also the bottle is very appealing and somewhat leaky, meaning that the object which embodies the peardrax demands your respect and attention. or everything gets sticky. "my mother likes belle and sebastian, she likes them enough that when i played her FYHC she was able to say 'its really not as good as the other ones is it?' my dad doesn't like stumu's voice, which is fine, since he like Charlie Pride and CHARLIE PRIDE ROCKS! "pf should be glad that inspector forster was only a new shoenberg, if he was a new webern or even worse carter he'd have been 'totally fucked'. he wouldn't happen to be norman forster would he? i'd be careful, he might turn you inside out! pf also mentioned the proust can be a right asshole, which is certainly true! the way he gets all weird and possesive of albertine in vol 5 is downright terrifying. i just saw 'celeste' and thought it was pretty awsome! there is both good and bad in proust. i often reflect on this when administering colonic irrigation at the senior's home. scary old people. * "and we were talking about cheese, personally, i was devastated that none of you mentioned lait-cru morbier on your list of favourite lactose-y products! what the hell people? have none of you ever looked beyond the dull havartis, goudas and cheddars in the cheese shop? i think jay mentioned meunster! which is so awsome and fatty and good! here is a recepie for a sandwich of solitude to eat alone when no one will be near you to smell your breath after (good manners and bad breath get you no where): take one bagel, cut it in half and melt some meunster cheese on to it in the toaster oven. Next, get that big jar of kimchi out of the fridge and put a big bleeding red gob of the shit onto one side of the bagel. then put the other corresponding side of the bagel on top, the result is a kimchi muenster bagel sandwich! it is 1--fricken awsome 2--kind of smelly 3--very spicy! enjoy! "jay also stood up for mustard! mustard is the single greatest thing ever!! other than tintin we must also love the belgians for putting mustard on their fries! how awsome is that?! its the best! when i run out of food all that is left in my fridge is saurkraut and mustard, ever! but i have several kinds of mustard...with pepper corns, various white wine varieties etc. mustard is 'so for real'. "ian nicholson said "long fin killie' which fulfills my early nineties too pure quota for the month. they were odd wern't they that band? "andrew churchman already covered the whole 'camera obscura are actually from san diego' thing, i almost got to see them but they got held up at the canadian border...as did yaphet kotto and some other band that i was supposed to see last night. so i went to the 24 hr home depot and looked at lighting and lumber with this friend of mine who wouldn't stop complaining because i had made him go on a 40 minute bike ride to an obscure section of the city and it was cold. jesus, what a female reproductive organ! andrew also went on about the lapse, and how toko used to be in the lapse, and yes thats true...the problem with the lapse now however is that toko isn't in the lapse. when i saw them i was more impressed with the guy's sweater (it was a nice sweater) than with their music. it wasn't 'in the bush' by musique, i can tell you that! "jeff burke bitch slapped tim kinsella of joan of arc...and i was going to leap to his defence...but then, really, he's right. tim kinsella is really pretentious. and i like tim kinsella because i'm an over-educated nerd with problems relating to the world around him, so guilty as charged! its just hard for others to perhaps know how good something like joan of arc is when you haven't spent all afternoon ping-ponging back and forth between jameson and lyotard and frankly have gotten only so far as hating one more than the other but still think they're full of shit and just wishing that your girlfriend would drop by with some korean walnut cakes and you could have a nap as has been the case all to frequently with me. somehow, i think pretentious nerd people making pretentious nerd music is more honest than those same people pretending that they never went to school and never saw too many french movies and that they want to ROCK AND ROLLLLLLL!!!!! (making little black sabbathy hand gesture) GRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! and pretending that they never stopped liking Iron Maiden and that they are so violent and such etc... when they are not. at least Tim is being his artificial, pretentious self. not that thats an excuse or anything...just that i like that ok? "also, i saw fredrick jameson lecture twice last week and i chickened out of an excellent plan to pie the old motherfucker. shit. i was going to yell 'PASTICHE!' as my battle cry when i would have flung the fictional tart at his blubbery yale-school new criticism face. it would have been so awsome. "the belgians are laughing at me. "i saw andy *angel* blackwell last night...he was at the famous vaseline party. i was there too, seeing the hidden cameras. who are totally rad. forget kings of convenience they might be popular but they'll never be interesting, despite big gay joel being a bit of an asshole sometimes he's in charge of a truly awsome band. so thats that i suppose.
