thanksgiving
oh my lord, my hands are out of control and are tapping out words on this computer in a small room in southern california today, right now, here. i don't know what's going on, it looks like we are either...
a) writing and recording the galaxy's most beautiful music. even better than shakira's latest single 'hips don't lie' (which the last ever song played on the legendary British programme Top of the Pops which weirdly enough saw the track jump back from number three to the number one spot again, after spending seven weeks on the chart).
b) being scammed by low-down, good-for-nuthin mofos on ebay who won't deliver that effects pedal a month after paying for it... can't we all just get along and be true to our word? seriously, our civilisation rests on mutual respect and love. a chain is only as strong as its' weakest link etc etc....
c) personalising bottles of water with our intials because one of us would open a bottle, taken a sip and then put it down on the table and then there would be a table full of just opened bottles of water and no one would know whose was whose. it's not like any of us have any weird diseases or anything but to me it seemed kind of unhygienic. and our health is like a big plate of fruit, y'know?
d) apologising for our website being fucked. i think this might have been my fault. what happened was that freeserve got taken over by wanadoo and wanadoo got taken over by orange and i changed my email address seventeen times since then and i lost the old password and account details which resulted in everything being kaput. but we are getting a new website soon, i think. with forums and words and pictures and colours and lights and whistles and bells and baubles and trinkets and free cash for everyone!
e) listening to tinny speakers burbling out some david bowie or some autolux or maybe some neil young or or flaming lips or tom waits or buffalo springfield or stephen stills or wilco while eating specially imported smarties and going from yorkshire tea to grapefruit juice to pinot noir to crystal geyser to unnamed vodka to lemon snapple to heineken to bombay sapphire to crystal geyser....
f) addressing the issue of vibe. does this mean a cardboard princess diana smiling as she watches traffic on a balcony? should everything be covered with xmas lights? is gore and flesh from american 1950s superior to five hours of worldless russian dystopian future-death-love?
now i have blisters on my fingers and someone has just come into the room and asked why we aren't recording? what?
