Try to imagine the Yardbirds getting into bed with Ligeti in the smoking ruins of divided Berlin

You've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time...... Saw the Junior Senior video in Toni & Guy. Irresistible on a bright morning. Like me in my new red t-shirt. Hairdressers or whatever they're called nowadays make me nervous. Keep hearing the Pink (can't write P!nk) song and feel an urge to point out the Fresh Garbage hook, plus must mention Beck. How we laughed at Evanescence which is simply no good. Something about candles that suggests the desire for martyrdom, a fiery yet transcendent death. Such a sorry display. The Fast Food Rockers will be in the charts soon. Then you'll be really sorry. A nun in the bookshop which was playing Public Image Ltd. I can't place that tune on the telly. English people say telly... Jets. Graham Coxon rereads JD Salinger. Hail to the Thief cover like 'The Hot One Hundred' by Peter Davies. Lube Donut VCR Loss Bacon. Z's friend's cat is called Foot Foot, she looked at me like I'd know where the name came from. I did. Foot Foot is the cat in Gummo too. Bobby Crush wrote the Orville song. Pamela Des Barres' voice on the radio as delightful as it is on the GTOs album. Chancing upon Trevor Nelson TV show about northern soul scene. What larks they had in Tommy's holiday camp. It is poor etiquette when in public places to acknowledge favourite songs by mouthing the lyrics, tapping the fingers, shaking the hip and generally drawing attention to the fact that you know what this song is, and are beneath its spell, because you have the music in you like Kiki Dee once did. How come Moloko were allowed to sing three songs on Later. Holland-Jupitus-Laverne - let's leave it at disheartening. A Baconesque triptych if ever. But negatives are not to be processed here. Stick to the path! "What kind of music do you like then?" You cannot ask that. Also, you are not permitted to intervene when you overhear the young people discussing how Sigur Ros are from Sweden and are very influenced by Radiohead. I'm not judging you I'm judging me.....
