What ho, interpals.
What delights or tribulations await you on this chilly winter's day? For me, it's another drone-fest in the arse-clenching tedium that is my 'career' followed by an evening huddled in my cockney hovel, rocking back and forth and weeping, cradling the mangled, half-eaten body of my latest victim.

Because I have no television connected, I missed 'Fry & Laurie reunited' last night. That fucked me off a great deal.

Who was your favourite band/singer when you were 15? Are you proud or embarrassed by this or simply don't care a fig?

But favourite singer was probably a toss-up between Tanya Donnelly and kd lang. Ew.

There was a trip to see The Pretenders in Redcar. It wasn't a professional job just run by an enthusiast, and was setting off early so that the seaside could also be enjoyed. None of my friends were sufficiently interested to shell out the cash so I was due to go by myself. My Mum, thinking that it would be no fun for me, booked herself and her Mum onto the coach and they explored the delights of Redcar whilst I went to the gig.

Today I am still struggling to reacclimatize myself to our godawful weather and my job, which it appears no-one bothered to cover while I was away. Am also getting very frustrated by my body's refusal to sleep past 5.30am despite how absurdly knackered I was the night before.

When I was 15 I was graduating from hard rock to heavy metal and starting to grow my hair, so probably Pantera, or possibly (embarrassingly, with hindsight) Megadeth, who were the first band I saw live. Lost my glasses in the moshpit. Actually faced away from the stage for part of the remaining gig by mistake.

Indeed.
I'm off to see them again next year.

Slowly running out of tobacco.
Then I'm making soup, I have chicken stock but not much else apart from spinach. So it'll be an experiment.

With spinach.

Are you off sick or something?

I don't count work.
If you get your mind right you only spend two minutes at work each day. The minute you arrive and the minute you leave.

That would be 1974.
I was lucky to live next door to a total muso and she loaned me loads of stuff and my best mate had 4 older brothers and sisters who were all musicians. My listening list for 1974 reads like a Who’s Who of rock\prog giants. However my favourites (I had to buy a new copy of Axe Victim after a couple of months) were the new boys at the time Be-Bop DeLuxe. Fucking incredible they were and that was the year of the first Kiss album, Yes, Genesis and many more. I’ve just realised how spoilt I was during my youth. All that and the punk scene as well. Marvellous.
In for a downer later. My goddaughter's husband died last week, funeral at 2:30. Think I'll take a hipflask of rum for afterward. Although that might not be well received so I won't be sharing.

I don't know their work actually - I shall investigate.
I get them mixed up with Ducks de Luxe and Mink de Ville.

I liked Futurama best of all their albums.
Axe Victim may be more to your taste though. Or perhaps Sunburst finish. No, I'll go with Axe victim.

Sorry to hear about the funeral. Generally the post service gathering becomes a very positive thing. With anesdotes and affirmations of the departed's contribution to people's lives.
However (fortunately) I've never had to attend one for anyone younger than myself. It must be harder to be positive when the person has been taken with much of what they would have wished to do unfulfilled.

I was fortunate enough to meet and have a couple of beers with Bill Nelson a few years ago. He seemed a thoroughly decent bloke and was dismissive of his guitar hero status. I think he had a distinct stlye.

Thanks.
But I really don't like you at the moment.
A pint? With Bill Nelson?
Is that envy or gamma radiation affecting me?
I did once gob on Jimmy Nail though.

REM
I can't stand them now. Although there's a song on their album "Out of Time" called "Monty got a raw deal", I think it would really speak to your soul...

Don't give him a bigger sense of entitlement.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 25 Nov 2010, 9:42, Reply)

Ok
I think the song was actually called "Monty can go suck a fuck"

That Michael Stipe, he so crazy.
