Hope Springs Eternal
Posted Oct 22, 2001
I went to my aunt's birthday party at the weekend. I met my beautiful cousin's boyfriend. He is fatter and uglier even than I, and, dare I say it, considerably less charming (him being a rather typical rugger-b*gger). He is, however, somewhat crucially, a really nice guy.
This fills me with hope. All, therefore, i need to work on, is my niceguyedness. How hard can that be?
Why am I telling you this?
My ego really is disproportionately large. Oh well.

Either I'm growing an extra nipple under my arm or I have a cancerous growth. My life is endlessly eventful. Doctors on Thursdays.

I live in a city. It is called Winchester. It has a population of 25000. It is suffering a bomb scare. Right in the middle of Ground Zero was the opticians I was going to for a semi-emergency eye test. Grr. Arg. Hiss.

Gonads in the lightning!

Hello and welcome to an irregular column in which I'll be evangelising about what music i have been recently listening to in the hopes that people will agree with me and tell me how wonderful I am.
So here goes:
1) The White Stripes - White Blood Cells. Nice: skuzzy rock with yelpy bloke yelping in a particularly beguiling manner. Everyone (and I mean everyone, even the Sun) is raving about them. Cos they're great. Like Eels, the Moldy Peaches, and some other people I expect.
2) Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain. Spintinglingly nice. Warm and fuzzy and golden and fragile. Scrumptious.
3) Muse - Origin Of Symmetry. Amazing in more ways than is truly healthy. Operatic and self indulgent and thrashy-guitary. sheer hyperbole cannot begin to describe how brilliant the guitarist. Yes, I'm running out of superlatives here.
4) Felix da Housecat - Kittenz And Thee Glitz. 80s kraftwerk tribute tribute. Good in lots of ways. If you like impassive electronica, which i do. And the album title is cool.
Am I right or am I right? Yes, i'm right. Agree with me below.
