Sinister: Oh, Him. He's Just like the Music he listens to: Short, sweet and as twee as pos

[Jay Eckard]

Damn that little butterfly Boy from MSN. Damn him and his short subject 
lines. I am loquacious, by gad, even prolix. I need my space.
Fortunately, I seem to have enough of that of late. I moved, you see. Across 
town to a proper little house in Durham. It's quite cheap and very nice. 
Even the cat likes it, he's all picking fights with the new tomcats. 
Probably losing, as he is my cat, and consequently well, short and pretty 
twee. For a kitty. He's been sporting a little badge on his collar -- along 
with a bell -- that has MERGE RECORDS on. Merge is the label than M Bond and 
Essex Green are on. Also the Magnetic Fields used to be, but they moved. 
Anyway, M Bond and the Essex Green rock. Or rather, they Pop. You should 
look into them.
Alex went on about the new Lucksmiths. I think that's great. I'm in my "I 
Love the Lucksmiths" phase right now. I listen to "Off with his Cardigan" 
every day as I get ready for work. It makes me happy even before my 4 or 5 
shots of espresso. I can't wait to hear new stuff.
Speaking of Great and New and Australia, there's this band called 
Architecture in Helsinki. Two of their songs were sent to me by that noted 
World Traveller, Phil-two. They also pop quite hard. Go also and listen to 
them.
I am currently preparing my little new place for the arrival of one Laura 
Llew. The cat will be decked out in all his finery and waiting to stare at 
her. They're close like that. She's coming to see the Delgados. Well, she 
says that, but I think she's here to stock up on booze and boys. Or at least 
hang out in bars and look at boys. Like Gordon the Bartender or Damon Who 
Never Looks at Me.
Speaking of not looking at me, there's this boy who comes into my shop who 
is hott, hott, hott and I finally realized why. He's a dead ringer for Jeff 
Buckley. AND he has a twin brother (who doesn't look quite as much like Jeff 
-- it's the hair, I think). I am of course quite in love.
Though THAT always turns out badly.
Except for Mark Cassaratto (Which is similar to the actual spelling if not 
the actual spelling) who sent me BUS PORN! That's right, actually adult 
pictures of the No 22 Bus to Putney Common. It was so much I had to stop 
blogging for days. Days, I tell you.
Well, this has gone on quite long enough and it is very late. Today's 
payday, so I have booze to drink and debts to pay.

Later, yo

l'Autre (Gay) Jay

This post brought to you by New Order, "Bizarre Love Triangle" from their 
new Retro comp., "Poor Boy, Minor Key" by M Bond from his Transfiguration of 
Vincent album, Lazy Line Painter Jane, "By the Sea" by the Essex Green from 
their album The Long Goodbye and "Brittle Women" by Glass Candy from their 
disc "Love Love Love".

PS: Whoever did something inappropriate with me and Miss Crush better 'fess 
up quick-like. That ain't decent, yo.

PPS: Speaking of "yo", be very careful of the sites you visit at work. I 
went to the blog of a certain person on the list who frequently says "yo" 
and the boss walked in. "Um, no boss, I SWEAR it isn't porn!" I said when he 
chastised me for looking at adult sites. "Then why is there a picture of a 
boy in dishabille?" he rather reasonably enquired. "Umm." I said. "I know 
that's your thing, Jay" he said sternly "But NOT AT WORK!"  Now I'm all 
confused if by "my thing" he means being gay, gay porn, gay porn at work, or 
gay porn at work of Sinister Boys.
