Todd Solondz does a much better job satirizing American suburban family life in "Happiness" than the

White space. Pink noise. Either I have just been excommunicated, or this is the quietest day on sinister since September 1995. Youn said plenty interesting things, like she does. director of "American Beauty" does. Yeah, but wait till you see A Kiss In The Strawberry Dreamhouse. The spoons from the Velocity Girl and the cheese-grater / fish-slice act from Helen Shapiro are going to be worth the admission fee alone. It's all about the money. It's all about Lucille, it's all about Adelaide, it's all about the money.

Did anyone see "Ratcatcher"?

Yes. It is very bad.

...

...

Or maybe the Foxgloves could contribute a speeded up version of "Daystar" then, with loud guitars.

Maybe they could. I'll have to ask them. But I heard that one of them thought that the film was very bad. So I don't know how they'd feel about the extra work of making the guitars louder. Still, they are harlots, that's what I heard. It's all about the honey.

I love Pam Berry's voice when she sings 'GARden' and Alasdair's when he sings 'aWAY'! Her voice really reminds me of pines - something fresh and green - delicate but strong at the same time.

It's funny you should say that. Her voice always reminds me of worms. Glowing worms, in the dark. Or maybe stones, or shells, or old movie stars. I don't know why.

Joey Sweeney, who's a writer for the Philadelphia Weekly now I guess,

I guess. But be sure not to mix him up with TONY Sweeney. You won't do that, will you? Good. I just heard that there is a legendary Poetry Cafe version of that Clientele song, by the way. It lives somewhere in Chelmsford. I think that I'll go out and get bored.

Matching voices for duets would be fun. I think Harriet Wheeler would sound nice with Alasdair, too.

Well, yes. Harriet Wheeler would sound nice. I mean, has she ever failed to do so? I bet the prospect would sound nice to AC, too. But frankly I would not be able to tolerate it, it would just make me too jealous. I would rather HW came and sang with me. If she didn't want to do that, or if my pop colleagues objected, then she could always come and do something else. Walk in the park. Cook. Go to a footy match. I'll pay, Harriet, honest, even if it has to be Stamford Bridge. We'll never get to Cardiff now. I mean, really, we don't have to sing. We can do whatever you like.
