Actually, Anthony, I said I never go *above* 14th Street. Above 14th Street New Yorkers are accumulating what Pierre Bourdieu calls 'Cultural Capital', below 14th they're striving for what Angela McRobbie dubs 'Subcultural Capital'. It's the difference between the stuffy old Lincoln Center and funky Tonic.

'No man is a hero to his butler, or his groupie,' Jarvis Cocker once remarked to me as we strolled wistfully through Regent's Park. 'Or to his bulletin board comrades,' I replied with a sigh. Our frank, vulnerable exchange, caught on film by a Finnish TV crew, was disarming.

By the way, have I mentioned that I'm in Tokyo? Today I was cycling through Setagaya. My girlfriend, twenty metres behind, heard a bunch of Japanese youths exclaiming 'That was Momus, on that orange bicycle! Can you believe it? In Setagaya!' For them, you see, Setagaya is humdrum and Momus is exotic. For Momus, the opposite is true.

By the same token, the I Love Music board, for me, is glamour itself, however ludicrous a figure I cut, pedalling past on my orange opinions.

Man, I wanted to see yximalloooo but seriously

If it came to a choice between championing mediocrity and losing all my friends I would have no hesitation in opting for the latter.

I'll tell you a funny story. I went to dinner in Japan at the house of a famous TV comedian, Suidobashi Hakase. He's a protege of Takeshi Kitano. It was quite a gathering, with legendary author and tattooed hardman Ishmaru Gensho also present. We tucked into sushi prepared by Hakase's bald manservant.
Hakase had just published a book in which all his friends narrated their early experiences with masturbation. Kitano and Gensho had whole chapters to themselves. In the middle of supper, my girlfriend announced that I was fond of gansha, a more modestly-scaled and intimate version of bukkake. I blushed, but Hakase and Gensho seemed delighted that I had taken the trouble to learn Japanese customs, and from that moment on I felt like they'd accepted me into their club.

Hakase later married Chie, one of the two girls with whom I was living at the time. She had first introduced herself to him with a playful photo of herself dribbling condensed milk from her mouth. Apparently this is quite a common method of flirtation -- a lover I had in Japan that same year produced, on our first date in a cafe in Nakameguro, a portfolio of photos of herself, one of which featured herself in an open white National Standard zip top, with some white substance trickling down her chin onto her breasts.

Please do not invoke "Being Boiled" when discussing the meritless offal that is Britney Spears. Thanks.

Sorry, have you heard this particular song? Or what are you basing that on. Thank you.

-- I know, right?, Saturday, 20 October 2007 13:06 (Yesterday) Link

I'm basing it on the fact that Britney Spears is incapable of making music of quality and distinction. Thanks again.
