Hi T,

I've checked out your blog, pretty good. Keep reading mine for pointers.

Keep on keeping on (don't commit suicide)

Podlings

2011-08-19T15:52:00.000+01:00

There can only be x number of pod people in the world:

I became a pod person the other day after I realised that I was under without 'podtime' at my disposal. After paying the man lots of money I received a pod. I had been given a pod before by a former podhead but the batter was fried and there was no juice left in the pod. LAter that day I received a call from an Upper Chorlton Road Podhead. HE had accidentally put his pod in the washing machine (he had been drained by a Skeksis). Now I am happy with pod where ever I walk and he lives in murky paranoid silence, saving up all his money to buy a new pod.

The picture above shows them as they normally are; the picture on the right shows a podling after being drained by a Skeksis.

"oh hi this is Jean from Eduran"
"Hi Jean, I'm glad you called, I hope you're well"
"how would you spell that? You're? You are or your?"
"Like Chris Rock says, it's about the context...Sonic youth got around it by using "yr" in all cases. Their song was actually called Expressway to you are skull but Thurston keeps that on the DL"
"Keeping knowledge safely locked away"

Bell: card-carrying communist

2011-03-11T10:55:00.000Z

'We were all doing it' said paul, squeezing out his best diplomatic tones. 'We were all chasing the dragon.'
'Now now paul, I don't think Timothy and Felicity were chasing the dragon,' said Mrs B with a sigh, 'it doesn't look good for you this time Paul, I saw you, behind the Wendy house, chasing the bloody dragon.'
'Yes they were! At first it made them sick but then they really liked it. I told them "no!" but they had already reached the point where you're not bothered about what other people are saying'
'Come on Paul' said Tim, urging Paul out of the room.

Mrs B furtively looked at Tim, 'You two go home... and take your rancid rotten fermented soya bean paste with you!'
'OK, OK, Tim, get the Miso. It's in the fridge' piped up Felicity from behind Paul.
'Right I'll get the Miso, but I bet Bell has drilled it'.
Bell was an overweight, blonde Labrador who knocked around the kitchen eating whatever came her way.
Tim went into the kitchen.

'She's dead!.. Quick, Bell's dead!'
Sure enough, she had eaten the Miso. She was rife with good bacteria. Good bacteria was oozing from every pour, the stench of fermentation was pickling the room and seeping from each hair follicle on her back.
'Oh Jesus, poor Bell' grimaced Felicity, 'no Paul, don't look!'
By now the bacteria was pumping silently out of her teets like heat erupting through a pan of porridge.
'You and your fucking Miso bullshit!' wailed Paul on seeing the dog.
'Hang on a minute' interjected Tim, 'isn't it society's fault for making Bell want to consume everything in sight?'
'Tim's right, as a mother, you want your dog to have everything that the other dogs have, to the point where it's never enough.' admitted Mrs B.
'Miso is an ancient Chinese foodstuff. Funny this really, considering China's political history' added Fliss.
'It's actually called the 'Peoples Republic of China' now, dickhead'
'Alright Tim, she's just saying that perhaps Bell was trying to communicate to us that communism is going to usurp our western model of capitalism.' said Mrs B.
'Maybe, or maybe she just couldn't get enough of that cold unami flavour!' chuckled Paul.
Everybody laughed.

Lauren Kirk

LAuren Kirk.

Lauren Kirk introduced me to music, namely the outhere brothers x-rated version of boom boom boom. We would play two crude dudes whist eating super noodles instead of veg. I was on a weedy iceberg lettuce vibe at the time, so "chicken-esque" monosodio flavours made me pop. My concept of Lauren Kirk lies somewhere between squid and the voidoids. We would march round the playground in unison chanting "har ha ha har ha" wiggling our hands in prayer position, saying hello and goodbye to Mrs Kenderdine and tim; it was well proto-hardcore.

Records are being played by me at the bay horse the third friday of every month. Generally the vibe is repulsive so any good company is welcome. i am downstairs by the toilets, bored out of my brain killing tracks I once liked as people peck me for "fergi", no, not the royal, the one out of the black-eyed peas that wet herself.

Above: Kraak Poster exhibition. It existed for a good 4 hours before the dibble whiffed the skiffle and decided shoot rats in barrel and shut the shop. Still, here's the proof. Some of my old posters on the right complete with two of the post-it posters from the heady days of the 9-5. No frames here, would be like framing Marsbar wrappers...

Go and behold Geeek Magazine a downloadable Manchester zine with illustrations from this kid, straight from the offal on this blog (issue is winter 09).

Crosby Stills Nash and the other one, kindly posed for a photo the other day whilst they were having their usual xmas pint meet up in The Olde Boar's Head, Middleton. Stills plumbed for his favourite half a Fosters with a lime top, Nash stayed faithful to his packet of cheese and onion Walkers, saying "for the record, you just can't get these o'er the pond". Everybody laughed.

BEACH FUZZ TAPE

2009-10-20T14:27:00.000+01:00

Golden Lab uses nouse and follows the band wagon into the burgeoning cassette industry.

Actual tracks on this piece of plastic; we're talking sad/happy/peck/buzz -something for every mood, including a couple of pumped up "fuck you, I'm driving at 35mph" blinders. Other picks include the "oo" track* - similar to Quick's OO Burger, two become one, where NM cleverly disguises his highest voco-pitch (classic) as a synth (mushroom shiz), and "tom's number"* where TS takes us on an aubrey-weirdsley journey round the fret board, which feels like the day you realised you like green olives.

soap scum

2009-09-02T16:49:00.000+01:00

The soap had foamed over many of the visitors that had come to stay. It had now been whittled down to the label along a two inch width of soap to a depth of 4mm. The soap had enjoyed a life of fanciful lather and therefore was, of course, perpetually dirty; the skin was now rife with bacteria, body debris and other bathroom scum. However, it was nice to think that the impenetrable core would always be clean.

Their early stuff

A perky picture of The Beatles, a band of friendly mop-tops from our green isle's very own liverpool. It's called liverpool because its waters are like the delicious lipid-rich tissues of foie gras from a plump french goose. In other words, lots of people used to get drugs into england via liverpool then store them in their livers.
