PLAGIARISM!

oddly, no sparks there this time. This may give the impression my lifelong devotion to sparks is waning. I can confirm it is not, and were I to do my top 5 again, as in, 30 seconds later, I would probably have put equator in there, cos it's godlike. Just clearing that up.

As of now, no order: 1. Momus - morality is vanity 2. Nick Cave - mercy 3. XTC - easter theatre 4. Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets 5. Tom Waits - Reeperbahn

Esmerelda.

I consider myself pretty lucky that I've been able to *just* avoid slipping into dependence since about 17. I drink a lot, but never alone, never if it will stop me getting to work and gave up spirits altogether after a particularly raucous 3am entrance of my parents' house a few months ago. WINE~! is the key.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures.

I'll fight finch.

'Mr. Folder'.

There are no winners.

Nick Cave - Tender Prey. I enjoy this album.

yeah, what kinda fool says Obv. That kind is what!

Oh, fucking hell.

I don't know why I'm so addicted to disc 2 of the momus compilation this week. It's not great or anything. Well, 'Ventriloquists and Dolls' and 'Morality is Vanity' are.

Sparks - Lil' Beethoven 1. The Rhythm Thief - 7 2. How Do I Get To Carnegie Hall - 9 3. What are All These Bands So Angry About - 8 4. I Married Myself - 8 5. Ride Em Cowboy - 8 6. My Baby's Taking Me Home 6 (Live performance 10) 7. Your Call's Very Important To Us. Please Hold - 9 8. Ugly Guys With Beautiful Girls - 8 9. Suburban Homeboy - 10 I don't know how to convey this, but the album as a concept and in terms of arrangement and flow, is a 10 overall despite some tracks being better than others. It's unique.

Hmm. That's all I can really say. He mis-timed all his interference spots in O'Haire's ppv debut of his push which kinda killed the whole angle, I doubt he's even of use in that capacity anymore. But yeah, better than Lawler.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures probably followed by the Tindersticks. I wish it was raining.

If Dalliance is a 10, Heather is an 11, as is Blonde. Agreed on Dare though.

Oh baby. Once in a while, I'd be so up for that shit.

To tell the truth I would have no complaints if smoking in public were banned. I hardly ever smoke anyways. God knows how they'd enforce it though, people would be flying off the handle all over the place.

Dude, they won the group version of american idol or whatever you call it over there. They haven't captured all our collective souls or anything. The Wedding Present - My Favourite Dress

'Crawl' and 'Niagra' are both fantastic, though.

True, but at least it was low-key.

Transformers the Movie is a tremendous work, and a great, hugely influential example of eastern and western animation styles pieced together. Thus, I despise this movie already.

All of em. They did a special show a couple of months ago and I think there's a new album on the way.

This fucking sucks cos he rocked, but at least he got into the residents before he left.

I'll only feel left out if I don't ask.
