Tolkien 'bout my generation
Jun. 25th, 2009 08:33 pmWell, bollocks.
Obviously, this isn't all about me, but it's getting a bit bloody previous. Peelie, HST, Tony Wilson and now Swells. Yet Spandau effing Ballet are gigging again. I'd like the good cultural reference-points to last longer than the shit ones, please.
I can't see straight enough to transcribe 'Godzilla vs. The Tetley Bittermen' so you'll have to thieve it.
Let's hope the NME see enough sense and/or money to reprint the 'Ride the puffin' (and other names) articles w/Quantick.
(I'd advise not reading his last few articles from the Philly Weekly if you're of a nervous or hypochondriac disposition. Fine writing, but by Bob it's grim stuff.)
Edit: If you've known me long enough, it should (have) be(en) painfully obvious that my writing style began as variable parts me, HST & Wells, with the odd lump of Ballard thrown in for a laugh.

[Edit: We may now add 'elementary[1][2] camera repair' to the list of sometimes-useful skills to which I can lay claim. Profit!]
[1] Elementary cameras, certainly.

Sod. New m/b has expired in a pile of squeaking (Single and entirely undocumented long peeps) and an upgrade appears to have shagged Courier authdaemon.
[FX: Hackery]
M/b still hosed, but with any luck under guarantee.
IMAP swerver doing auth again. I think the packaged version depended on mysql. (Not on my bloody computer you don't)
Still feel entirely bloody lost without my proper computer to hand, mind.

So it goes
Aug. 11th, 2007 12:51 amI'm from too far south to use words like 'gobshite' in anything other than an ironic sense, so I'm just going to assemble some words.
I don't know what the generation of wannabe Mancunians who were 'mad fer it, like' will think, but for us pre-Smiths angst-ridden teenage miserablist malcontents, Tony Wilson was the bloke who put out all the good records that Peelie played.
And now they're both gone, and just y'know...Fuck.
