two things made me laugh today..... this from warren ellis: "i also think i hallucinated a show called cash cab, where a cab driver appears to abduct new yorkers and ask them gameshow questions. if they get the questions right, the ceiling of the cab lights up, the cabbie gives them cash money, and they leave the cab, where local [...]
the problem with democracy is that it gives voice to all manner of morons and fuckwits (like m'self) with nothing to say..... .....there. i've said it. i've come out the political closet as a self-hating fascist or a communist or some bastard libertarian. not really. maybe. i don't really like democracy sometimes. i kid of course.

more crackly ancient beauty from mississippi records today, following yesterdays post on the magnificent skip james vinyl reissue. washington phillips was a preacher, instrumentalist and gospel singer. he did not die in an asylum in 1930. he probably did not play the bizzaro dolceola instrument that's often accredited to him. he did play more than likely some kind of [...]
jeebus bless those good folks at mississippi records. not only did i pick up this collection of skip james songs from the 1931 session today but i also bagged washington phillips' what are they doing in heaven today? all on sweetsweet vinyl. lovely sleeve too, with this picture of skip and john hurt glued to the front. mississippi records [...]

who('s) doing does did this? vegan in furs by of montreal previous vegan cream love
i'm zooming in on that sunburned skullface spinning round my goddam turntable. i'm hearing all kinds of crazed shit pour out of these huge black and wire monoliths like the mad tar ramblings of braindamaged comedians and prescription medicine addled heavy metal psychotics. i'm thinking kill the girl save yourself kill the girl save yourself [...]
so yeah thanks to the the germridden fleshsack (or manky guinness glass) that infected me with the fucking ebola or hantavirus or something. resulting in two days of sweating spewing and shaking. yeah thanks dude(tte). i type this from my deathbed sickbed comfy chair. on the plus side i have dropped a dress size. and managed to pass off the symptoms [...]
those nice folks at chemikal underground were paying me in, so i wandered along to stereo (it's become my jagermeister soaked, chickpea stewing second home of late) to see their new signings the phantom band and to indulge in some vodka based liver-bashing. before i could do that though there was... man with acoustic guitar. and then there [...]
i could feel the rampant rogue waves of estrogen shrinking my scrotum. i was a pioneer. the only lonely heterosexual male in a room full of overly-sugared women and their occasional homosexual male companions. the fear set in around the fourteenth advert for handbags and perfume. every cackle and shriek brings a cold sheen of [...]
let me ask you this, electronick porn travelers misdirected here by the fickle hand of fate, how many of you have been to a gig in the belly of an actual hundred and twelve year old steel sailing vessel? a three masted barque, two hundred and forty five feet in length, thirty seven feet beam and [...]
okay m.p.s.d.s.c.l i'll rise pointlessly yet purposefully to the bait-occassion-challenge. what i've been blotting out the real world with today: strangely john fahey appeared in my ears also (not literally thankfully). poor boy long ways from home. sounds about a hundred years old. in a good way. john fahey went insane in 1964 and died shortly there after. [...]
when vegans attach by clutch
there's a new wire record out in four weeks and one day ((if you don't count today) and you're reading this right now *cough*). that should be all i need to say, fools. here's a track from it: one of us by wire ...what you want more? okay here's a video of heartbeat complete with colin in bigwhiteshirt singing [...]
glasgow, i love you but you're bringing me down... i want to lay the blame on neil diamond playing across town or people staying in to watch the latest moronic attention whores spread their shapely waxed legs in the big brother household. i want to but it's probably not true. i want to apologise to cath [...]
somehow i doubt the film will do him justice... "it was a dark and stormy night when i set out from my house to jack nicholson's place far away in the valley on the other side of town. it was his birthday, and i had a huge raw elk heart for him. i have known jack [...]
i have an odd sense of chronological displacement just now. what with those shock headed peters albums; and the full-on skinhead neo-nazi i walked past agog today, like something from shane meadows this is england all swastika tattoos, bomber jacket and boots; and guy ritchie making some no doubt ballshrinkingly awkward jazzed up sherlock holmes (faaaahk [...]
there once was a photo from way back when. a moment deliciously captured, of this dude. clusterbombs of light fired and frozen behind, silhouetting him, with henry-from-eraserhead hair and this goddam beard from another glorious era. standing giant and angled and askewed, captured mid-something, limbs rigid, like the guitar he's wielding just shot him full [...]
