Yes, i’m spending the morning listening to Neon Bible by Arcade Fire. One great track (intervention) and several songs I couldn’t give a damn about tagged on to some that are truly awful (My Body Is A Cage, Neon Bible, That one where he’s trying to rip off Springsteen). What a shame cos Funeral was fucking amazing. Neon Bible just sounds lame…………….. I can’t believe people come into my bookshop eating crisps!!! Don’t even think about touching any of my travel books with greasy fingers. Jesus, he’s ruining all my books. Bastard! Anyway, yesterday was a comedy of errors that found me blocking up the toilet in my flat, tripping out all the electrics whilst changing a light bulb, then wandering around in the dark trying to find the fuse box, stubbing my toe in the process. To top the day off I then lost badly at snooker and had to wait half an hour for a taxi. Y’know my days off are more complicated than when I come to ‘work’. It’s Mothers Day today, so make sure you see your mum and tell her she’s the best. Cos without her you wouldn’t have been born and therefore unable to read this. Pretty cosmic stuff, i’m sure you’ll agree. The Clash are playing now, it’s their debut album. Joe Strummer was a very angry militant political man, wasn’t he. And now he’s dead, so let that be a lesson to you. I actually really like The Clash, but I still think Strummer was a bit of a dick. Mick Jagger however is a total dick. And don’t even get me started on Morrissey. This post is wandering all over the place, but to be honest so is my brain and a furry toy has just fallen off the top of the monitor and scared the shit out of me. So I guess that means i’m emotionally unbalanced too. Whilst i’m talking about monitors let me explain that a certain ex member of staff has pissed about with the resolution on the screen, so everything looks like it’s about four miles away. Unless everything IS four miles away and i’ve left my head somewhere near Levenshulme train station. Highly unlikely, but I never rule out the impossible. In my world Unicorns are real!!!!!! Don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise.
