Sinister: chimpanzees, instruments of torture and things that go 'whoooooo'

[Desmond Torpey]

howdy...
...i've just about recovered from the recent flurry of
B+S activity...i can get back to the usual
incoherent,rambling, entirely content-free posts of
old...although the peel session songs have got me
unreasonably excited about the forthcoming EP (and
future albums)...if this is the standard of stuff that
they wont even bother properly releasing then sweet
jesus i cant wait...'magic of a kind word' is just the
most fantastically danceable peice of greatness
since..well...jonathan david...especially the sixties
style 'woooooo' shout halfway through...and as for the
belle and sebastian do twee hip-hop stylee of 'shoot
the sexual athlete'..mmmmmmarvellous..
...i'll have to think of something else to do on
national belle and sebastian day...getting to london
is too expensive for my already ridiculously stretched
budget...perhaps i'll just run around some feilds with
'tigermilk' on my walkman, eating cake...being
unemployed is more depressing than i imagined..i'm not
even technically a student anymore so i cant use that
as an excuse for being poor,lazy and unwilling to
work...i am in fact, merely a bum...a very bored bum
at that... a trip to the dentists the other day was
almost a highlight...especially the bizzare cable
channel they have running in the waiting room...from
what i could gather, 'the smile channel' had an output
consisting of looped videos of chimpanzees throwing
protective goggles around, refusing to sit up straight
in the dentists chair and visiting second hand clothes
shops in soho...perhaps patients are so busy trying to
work out what the hell is going on they will forget
the instruments of torture and unbearable pain that
awaits them...i think maybe i have hit a brick wall
when this constitutes entertainment..i have been
living in waiting rooms for the last four weeks..an
endless round of job centres,employment
agencies,surgeries and banks..all i've managed to
achieve is the knowledge that i know less than i
imagined about computers (ie nothing) and no bugger
will give me a job...things, as usual, havent worked
out quite the way i planned them to..actually thats a
lie..i havent planned anything really...thats the
problem...i never know where i'm going or what i'm
going to do with...life..and stuff...i should be
feeling wonderful i suppose..freedom for at least a
year..to whatever i want..with no responsibility,
commitment etc..hmmmm...bit i just can work out what
to do with it...
...reading 'the bell jar' and listening to 'pink moon'
probably hasnt helped...in saying that however, i only
brought 'pink moon' last week and going on reputation
i expected it to be half an hour of pure naked,
unbearable misery...i actually found most of it to be
kind of uplifting, especially 'from the
morning'...nick drake depressed? tcha!...where was
this post going?...i've completely forgotten...
ta ta...
