Having nothing to say, no words but the words of others, I have to speak

Feb 08, 2010 11:03

I'm looking in the mirror and I have a dog's head. It's a small dog, rather well-groomed, with a bear-like snub nose and golden-brown hair. I have to go somewhere, see an art exhibition in rural Turkey, catch a train to the mountains... Oh, wait, that was a dream. I've woken up. I don't feel so great in the mornings -- a bit stiff. I'll be fine ( Read more... )

I'm a bit disappointed, Momus. I thought you'd try to do something interesting to end the blog with, working up to a nice bit of intrigue or something. Instead, you've gone into self-reflexive mode, like a sitcom in its last season. You've only got two entries to go, put some thought into it, man!

Nick,

You've just had the dubious accolade of being quoted on 'quote unquote' on radio 4!

Radio 4 anonymous February 8 2010, 13:45:41 UTC

Hey - You just got a mention on radio four gameshow 'Quote, Unquote'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007lnfq

I co-run a gallery in London also, we're showing Oliver Laric at the moment. You produced a voice over for one of his Versions videos!

so... HELLO!

Hello Paul!

A solo London show for Oliver Laric is a good move!

I'm told the quote on BBC R4 is from Ben Goldacre, who's often commented on Click Opera. Not sure which line of mine he quoted, though. Maybe "famous for 15 people"? Have to wait for the Listen Again file to become available.

Morality is Vanity - was one.

I think he may have even attempted a Momus quote on sperm - to the gasps of the 'quote unquote' audience.

He said that you should be millionaire for your song writing!

Maybe it's time you came home. mmmm?

Re: Radio 4 imomus February 8 2010, 14:19:50 UTC

Oh, I heartily approve of slipping some sperm onto Radio 4, especially to gasps! Epater les bourgeois! Much better than that old Warholian chestnut about fame. And I agree about the millionaire bit. I'll have two hotels on Park Lane, one on Mayfair, please!

Momus, have you ever considering publishing an anthology of your best blog posts?

parchesss February 8 2010, 14:15:13 UTC

course he bloomin' has.

imomus February 8 2010, 14:20:43 UTC

It doesn't really matter whether I consider it. What matters is whether a publisher does, and in the present climate I think that's pretty unlikely.

parchesss February 8 2010, 14:34:58 UTC

Have you ever considered your own fashion label (like J.Lo)

MoMo?

Your last blog entry -- let me write it! Give me your password, let anon do it, that would be subversive! I wanna do it!

E.H.

You think it's the end? anonymous February 8 2010, 14:45:26 UTC

You think it's the end?

Look at Bowie at Earl's Court during his Ziggy phase - it's just the same. It's a bloomin' publicity stunt, that's what it is.

He's going to pretend to be one of those academic types - you know like when Bowie thought he was a painter.
