# Fuck off. It's vectors. But I had to render it as a jpeg afterwards.
A fruitless exercise you might say.

# Oh, go on then.
A fruitless exercise.

# I suppose technically this is derived from vector objects, before being rasterised
since I made it in MS Word with a touchpad

# that bloke at the back makes it look ever-so-slightly like a rasta image

# I used to be in a "band"* called the Rastaz of Mok.
We filled two C90 tapes with unspeakable, unlistenable bilge that we thought was hilarious ("Roots" and "Thought-Emetic For The People")

Eventually, we kind of split, amicably. He became "Blondini" and I became "Craft Fair".
We didn't like to bother record companies or actually perform our drivel in public, because we knew, in our heart of hearts, it was shit.


*more like me and my mate Al, stoned with a 4-track cassette portastudio, a Commodore Amiga with 4-track sampling/sequencing software Octamed, and various shitty 80s instruments from Cash Converters

# I was in a band called PLOP.
We never actually wrote any songs, rehearsed or bought instruments.
But it was a damn good name.
Before pulp existed, by the way.

# We could revive PLOP.
Re-name it PLOPP, pretend to be Scandinavian, and get away with any old bollocks.
I've still got a few instruments, if you can source a couple of blond wigs.
And a drummer.

# Cool.
And could we have musical differences?
For a while now I've been waiting for someone to ask me why I split with my daughter's mum, so I can say we split up because of musical differences.

# Of course.
It wouldn't work without musical differences.
And if I'm involved, it'll inevitably degenerate into a howling, swirling, FX-drenched soup of inchoate wibbling noise with shouting over the top, so the musical differences will evolve perfectly naturally.

# I don't know who this is meant to be.....
Just the guy at the front reminded me of J J Burnell and the one at the back looked like Jet Black...

# Sounded feasible to me.
Like I said below, I'm a credulous fool.
