Zac was watching mary poppins. “Why” he asks, “is he allowed to tell people what to do all the time?” He is referring to George Banks, the father. I have to explain to him that in those days the father was the head of the household, men ran everything, women couldn’t vote etc. “Wow” he says, “cool.”
i don’t do reviews, but fuck, you’ve got to get babyshambles - albion.
i spent a chunk of today in a car listening to it. just great. i looked up some lyrics and found they’ve even covered the moldy peaches which is solid proof of their (his) integrity.
there are maybe 5 great tracks. one, a johnny cash deal (san quentin), only this time it’s pentonville. but here’s ‘albion’:
Down in Albion
They’re black and blue
But we don’t talk about that
Are you from ’round here?
How do you do?
I’d like to talk about that
Talk over
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn
More gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl
Behind the checkout
If you’re looking for a cheap sort
Set in false anticipation
I’ll be waiting in the photo booth
At the underground station
So come away, won’t you come away
We could go to…
Deptford, Catford, Watford, Digberth, Mansfield
Ahh anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets
And an English song
Mmm… Reebok classics
And canons at dawn
Terrible warlords, good Warlords
And an English song
Oo if you’re looking for a cheap sort
All glint with perspiration
There’s a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away, oh say you’ll come away
We’ll go to…
Satsworth, Senford, Weovil, Woomoyle, NEW-CAST-LE
If you are looking for a cheap tart
Don’t glint with perspiration
There’s a five-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away (away), won’t you come away
We’ll go to…
Bedtown, Oldham, Nunthorpe, Rowlam, Bristol
Aaa-nywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion…

news that tamiflu has been used on animals in bid to save valuable zoo collections.
well, actually came from here. which prompts the question, how many ways are there to kill an elephant. hey, what about torching the bastard. yeah, and let’s get thomas edison to do it. (i’m not even kidding).
Topsy offered an opportunity that Edison couldn’t resist. What better way to demonstrate the horrible consequences of alternating current than to roast a full-grown elephant?
Edison sent over a crack team of technicians and a film crew. Topsy was led to a special platform, the cameras were set rolling, the switch was thrown. It took only ten seconds. Edison later showed the film to audiences across the country to prove his point.

i can’t tell you how much i’m looking forward to a pandemic of H5N1 (i know, i know). even more so now. governments all over the world have been stockpiling tamiflu in anticipation. it turns out that tamiflu has a known side effect of causing “psychological dosorders”. One of these appears to be suicide. Two kids in Japan have just bought it.
One of the boys, a 17-year-old from Gifu prefecture, walked out of his house barefoot and in pyjamas during a snowstorm. He crossed a building site and a railway line before jumping in front of a lorry on a busy road.
The other, a 14-year-old from Aichi prefecture, apparently jumped from the balcony of the ninth-floor flat. Neither boy had previously experienced any suicidal tendencies.

1-reading to zac “haroun and the sea of stories” by slaman rushdie, realising how smart that book is. getting into the flow of it, the performance, it’s small sections, inviting you to just read the next, and the next. its beautiful metaphors sculpted to the ears of children, ideas cascading to be picked up or ignored. the factories manufacturing sadness, the town that forgot its name. the boy who can concentrate for just eleven minutes, the storyteller that ran out of tales. the fact that it’s been on the bookshelf for months.
2-two day old peshwari nan, drops of water, grilled.
3-learning that thomas crapper was born in 1836 & that the first use of the verb “to crap” was recorded as 1846.
4-turning on the tv to see john cale perform live.
5-talking seriously about the motivations of a character in an ibsen play
6-this glass of wine
7-having sigur ros come on next
8-a friend texting me from cambodia whilst teaching another westerner how to clean their arse without toilet paper
A Cartoon from 1930.
Unfortunately the little creatures of the forest show Mickey the error of his ways and he makes a swing from the rope instead.
Imagine a world where he succeeded. Ahh to dream.

As friends we:
scream,
talk,
argue.
Then we run around
until our legs hurt.
As friends we:
share
think
help.
Then watch Doctor Who
until we get so scared we almost run upstairs.
As friends we:
fall out
part
smile.
Then jump on a trampoline and scream.
