I'd have an anxiety attack if I attempted one.

Capitalism has always had and always will have a steady pool of unemployed. It's the nature of the beast and to do with complex things chez can explain. If anything I'm in favour of handing out serious amounts of money to the disadvantaged so they can change their lives.

Stonking list and not a one can be fucked with tbh. Blue Lines and Dummy were genre defining. Still play that Sundays album now, although it took about a decade to really appreciate its 'under the radar' charm.

Getting those ep's was like a ritual, I remember dating a girl with an eating disorder (only keep cereals down) and I had really bad asthma and used to carry an inhaler around..One of the 'rough boys' had hung himself after overdoing the glue..There was a real miasma of different and competing dialectics to do with life and death and I really believe only the music and the moonlight got me through. I started losing intrest in the chess club when the younger ones started beating me and I put away my Bobby Fischer book of openings and started saving for a keyboard.

Nice list bro.

Holy Bible was a monster of an album and of course who doesn't have a soft spot for Tom Waits?

The board is feeling the power!!!!

I know but I never got passed it (I discovered JMC all at the same time in the mid 90's). Did flirt with Honey's Dead when I was dir a short film in Birmingham (on cassette) to drown out the many complaints from the actors (about the sandwiches) and an overweight lighting cameraman (that we really needed a proper generator). Half the footage was underexposed which for me was joyous and 'interesting'....The others seemed a bit depressed about it..especially Fuji who were funding the whole caper.

Remember in a bedsit once the neighbours asked me why I listened to chinese music all day.. It was this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYWjyQQN0Qg

Prefer Psychocandy. Those were early days with girls and me and I had two I fancied equally. One big on JMC (her place was dank and dark - a bit daunting truth be told) and the other the Cocteau Twins and Dead can Dance. The latter had a huge tree outside her bedroom window and in the summer at night with the window open - various Cocteau Twins lazily spinning up on her Rega (Kef speakers I helped her choose) were some of the happiest days I can remember. I had just started in on Burroughs and Henry Miller and was going to Paris a lot on the ferry to see a friend from school who moved there (as a bet slept in the Pompedieu one night in one of the paintings storeroom) Those were valid bands and enchanting days when magic happenned daily.

Not as good as the first series. Getting a bit ridiculous now.

Flaming lips is popular with lesbians apparently.

Think you would have made a good music journalist if your idea of your own self importance is anything to go by.

Just like hanging around the Tate Modern. The place has a wierd otherworldy vibe.

Leftism is that electronic stuff?

Music journos are fukin clueless like. Write gushing pap about anything if there's a press junket involved.

Tooj is very big on the Cocteau Twins. Really like some of Guthrie's later ambient/dreamy stuff. Good to write to.

Might do as he only cost 2m. Would be ideal for us to drop off behind the single striker.
