the sunday sizzles gently away as i wait for the time to play in my rock band. going back to the empress hotel is a funny experience, like im going back to the past, but i remeber the energy i gave up on that stage and i love it.
been listening to xtc, the virgin singles comp. i like half of it to 3 quarters, but some songs are just too baad, sounding like the police, but 'grass' is a classic as is 'the loving,'. im a big fan of 'love on a farmboys wages', and i remember 'are you recieving me' as well: its cute. ive played it too much though and i think i'm going through a less music more reading stage.
been as you dont ask i'm reading red dust by ma jian,and it tales me back to trekking in western china.i will return there soon.
also i got 'still some light', the new bill fay album. i think my emotions get the best of me, when it comes to finding one of the great lost british voices ,as in the last two months, ive purchased and dowloaded about everthing curreently on offer. the new album has more demos from the time of the last persicution days. why he'd wamt to stick on a third version of 'sing us another song mae', which is exactly like the other two released versiions is beyond me. the second cd is a bill fay new album from last year. bills voice is crackly, probably due to fag smoking, as every second picture you see of him, he has a fag in hand.i really think this album should have been whittled down from 24 tracks to 14. its too long and i think some songs are better than others. the best songs rank with anything billss done. 'open my eyes' and 'keep turning the pages' are two gems. . keyboard sound can be tacky, but bill just has a korg synth. i can get over that though. i have bill fay overload.i have to stop listening for awhile
so as i sweat and the food digests in my tum, i say farewell. look forward to single launches and dance plays in the next month. its nice to be busy. ive just got to control my emotons (dont we all), i'm a passionate man.
