spent the weekend away at a funeral in a tiny town that had lots of oil $$$ from the 2o's to the 6o's, leaving lots of neighborhoods full of pointy nouveau gingerbread delicacies or glamorous glassed-up fallout shelters built at odd angles to the hills underneath them. a bishop presided over the fancy latin mass, but that didn't stop the best old

oh, it's just tragic!

a hundred degrees everyday + no transportation = little inclination to look for a job even though the funds are nil.

what to do... the ice cubes are melted, the lemonade warm, because the landlord didn't plug in the new fridge after installing it today.
drat.

where are you? are we going to die?

ice-baths + japanese tv all day in momoko.

i'm in houston--it breaks my heart to think there's a pop dolly dignitary i haven't dispensed a survival kit to suffering the heat in a nearby city--i must find a way over there. perhaps hazel_rah will come fetch me + keep me for a day or two...?

i loved yr aunt's note.

where would you like to work?

Re: ice-baths + japanese tv all day in momoko.

[mazette]

i don't know where i'd like to work.. a bookstore? something kind of non-demanding but not demeaning.
my ideal job is hanging out in an old lady's house petting her sad dog and playing scrabble all day long.
sigh.

if you come, let me know! of course, it would be difficult to squeeze you into my hectic schedule but i will find a way.

so you must tell me all about how Dave Gahan was. i have been getting reports as he slowly makes his way across the US. i hear the backside is in fine form.

i dont get to see him until 8/25, which i suppose is a good thing, as i STILL havent recovered from Damned weekend + Dave Vanian encounters.

yes, i am an overgrown 13 year old. thank you.

i have missed you my love.

you.

[fashmagslag]

it'll be mostly useless as i haven't heard the new album + surely won't be close enough to snap you a gallery of davearse [yr efforts with vanny are formidable enough to warrant a coffee-table book! + i certainly hope you won't have been over all that by 8/25, or ever], but you will love me anyway. i decree it.

have our yr shoes arrived yet?

Re: you.

[bird]

i havent listened to the new album at all yet. i have it. i have had it since it came out. but i have just been too busy going through about 8 other phases to give poor dave a chance.

just give me detailed descriptions of how long into the set before he removed his shirt and i will be happy.

and i dont think i will be over the Vanian experience by the 25. woo.

no... no shoes yet. i find this troubling, although i did get a wallet shaped like a coffin in the mail today, for some unknown and very plesant reason.

Re: you.

[fashmagslag]

mental note during show: tell bird if she doesn't like what he's wearing, wait five minutes.

i think the shirt came off two songs into the set. honestly. he won't make you wait. moments later, it's all sweaty arse, mum-was-a-stripper moves, + whirling mic-stand derrrvish. not to mention crepe soles.

this may be all wrong and/or of no interest, but:

there must be two biting tongues? about a year or so ago my friend randomly came across a biting tongues record from the late 70s/early 80s that was in the postpunk, nondancemusic vein. but i know that at least one of the members went on to 808 state, right?
oh, hello and thanks for sharing the mp3s.

Re: this may be all wrong and/or of no interest, but:

[fashmagslag]

oo, that mp3's from an album called recharge ['89], but i see another called compression...does that sound familiar? i do wonder if it's just one outfit that transmutated throughout the 8o's; maybe graham massey was hopping around to quando quango at the hacienda in his youth. ha.

how was the record?

hallo. :>

Re: this may be all wrong and/or of no interest, but:

[cabiria]

i thought it was quite good. i honestly just listened to it once and that was a while ago, but remember the name still because of the 808 state connection which seemed weird to me because the music was so different. but yes, it's definitely possible that it was the same group
