Sinister: Birds, Buses and Dave the Moon Man

[Pete Ramsdale]

As a glorious addition to two of the current trains of thought (don't know 
whether 'trains' is the right word for this list - maybe they're just less your 
InterCity type and more your average built-in-the-early-sixties somewhat shabby 
rolling stock), I am pleased to announce that I got mauled by a bird on a bus 
once. All I did was go up and ask her if she sat on that particular bus often, 
and she bit my hand and pinched my biscuit. I have since purchased another 
digestive and had a couple of fingers sewn back on, but it really isn't the 
same. What's the world coming to, eh?

In a more musical context, I find myself compelled to rapturously plug the 
Looper album. It's definitely the best thing I have bought this side of Come On 
Die Young. Which was the best thing I bought this side of The Boy With The Arab 
Strap, and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, tedium or nauseam, whichever comes 
first. In particular, I do feel quite a large amount of empathy with Dave the 
Moon Man - not only for the amount of time we both seem to spend lying on lawns, 
pissed, with the dew soaking through our respective trousers, but also because I 
too seem to have the rather perverse habit of arguing against what I actually 
believe in, hoping beyond hope that somebody far more intelligent with much more 
self-confidence will come along and shoot me down, thus proving what I actually 
thought to be true in the first place. Erm..... discuss. Oh yeah, and the 
music's good too. Also bought the Gentle Waves album the other day. Haven't had 
chance to listen to it yet since my flat has recently been unceremoniously 
invaded by my parents, who just seem to spend their time sitting around 
complaining if I play music and gleefully watching me suffer because I can't 
smoke. I love them really, but they're bloody hard work at times. But, I'm sure 
that an equally badly worded opinion on the GW album is in the pipeline. 
Probably shortly after their departure on Sunday. So, keep your pointers 
weightily poised over that delete button.

Well, that's it for now - must go and do some work. Goddammit life's hard.

Hasta luego, amigos,

lol p xx.

 Life is full of regrets, and I've had a few, as Frank Sinatra
 once sang, before hiccuping loudly and falling over sideways.
