Blue Saturday

Yeah, I thought it was gonna be one of those government health warning films when it started. Half expected a hooded figure to appear stage left and shank one your dancers.

that's a rly good set of records

good hangover music. alarming thing is I have no memory whatsoever past about 8.30 last night and either I didn't spend that much or I mugged somebody at some point

i mean I lose chunks of time after a bender now I'm approaching dotage but man this is totally erased from the record with not even a peep of remembering

nah i grew up in a small town called Rugeley in Staffordshire

omg is this something I knew and forgot, or never knew!? Cos guess where I spent te 3-4 weeks I visited England in 1998? Haha.

(so if you know a guy called R0b P0rt3r I am going to die laughing)

nah I've told you before and you've forgotten! and I don't know the guy afaik, but then I was long gone by '98, except for visiting mom and dad. never see anybody I knew when I go back there. am cool with that tbh

Hah don't blame you tbh

how'd all this work out btw

stayed pretty sober Saturday in the end so things were quite placid really, didn't go out, no harm no foul. the stuff in my head and my heart well it comes and it goes

interesting thread

the thread of disquiet

there's a lot of those

how is rugely anyway? i was going kinda wtf at trayce's idea (in the miserable american cities thread) that the british midlands could be worse than american ghettos, but i've never spent 3-4 weeks in rugely

/rugeley/

sometimes it's good to let that stream of consciousness flow downhill.

Rugeley is small and ugly and stultifying but is surrounded by Cannock Chase and other prettiness which makes up for it.

My first love was from Chasetown. That sounds recognisable.

yeah from what I know of Chasetown it's true

+ i salute this thread, wish i'd been around ilx on saturday, was trapped with can't-take-it horror thoughts on cosy-away-trip to devon. No, dorset.

we didnt end up buying any body lotion, but went on a four hour drive thru connemara after that. No complaints. Should have taken camera prob.

been trying to work a scooby rooby roo joke around rugeley but fuckin mondays yknow

when yr most famous son is a 19th century poisoner you know you've gotta be a great place

that scottish dude that managed derby?

that wouldn't even rank among the dozen most depraved things billy davies has done

Apparently Nicholas Winterton was born in Rugeley so poor old Palmer isn't even the evillest dude to come from there

openings that make you regret giving up 'ur mum' jokes xp

Cannock Chase was nice yeah. I saw some deer.

The band rapidly fell out of favour. Paul Heaton of Hull's more well known band The Beautiful South heavily criticised them as being middle class pretenders, and the rot set in thereafter. Their third album To Hell with Humdrum had only a few new songs and mostly featured BBC sessions of tracks from Sleepwalking.

feel like i get seppuku as a desperate/despairing shout of sincerity, but the having of children prohibits it.

booze is the slow motion version, really.

Pretty sure this is a Tune. God knows why. video is hysterical.

best song i ever heard,

i was born in the 90s yet when i heard this song, it wrentched my heart bad, not like crying, just the pull of the music, makes you go all tingly

weirdly this bell-end is not far off, either

This dude taught me 9 tenths of everything I know about club singing, and is also a bit of a legend.

if u don't dig Stockhausen well fuck u

probly won't kill myself today but am wondering how to get out of driving lesson/life

this is where I talk myself out of shit don't fret

yesterday's diary was good. selected lowlights

"Aboulia

bliss-y descent into trance, laying in front of the TV dipping in and out always something to stay up for

drift thru day the same way floating down see-sawing like a feather swinging thru the air gently to ground silence and calm music and no conversation no words of no importance

FECKING CHATTER OF CLEANERS IN THE LIBRARY MY REFUGE

i have a store of names
skylight
peace that passes out of understanding voices of complaint make me bristle but then what am i?

moaning judging interfering voices of petty petty
- diseased aesthete -
build yr marble tower on the bones of the peasantry
alles gut

touch of fingers lips
missing
THAT hurts
still felt something, idiot

we write each other off?
we write ourselves off?
Generations :// de/generate"

THIS

The House of the Prince keepeth festival, and the sound of those who rejoice is in the mighty dwelling. The gods are glad when they see Ra in his rising; his beams flood the world with light. The majesty of the god, who is to be feared, setteth forth and cometh unto the land of Manu; he maketh bright the earth at his birth each day; he cometh unto the place where he was yesterday. O mayest thou be at peace with me; may I behold thy beauties; may I advance upon the earth; may I smite the Ass; may I crush the evil one; may I destroy Apep in his hour; may I see the abtu fish at the time of his creation, and the ant fish in his creation, and the ant boat in its lake. May I see Horus in charge of the rudder, with Thoth and Maat beside him; may I grasp the bows of the seket boat, and the stern of the atet boat.
