"Buying Frenzy"

Was in Cambridge and bought stuff.
Books:
"Choke/Survivor" by Chuck Pahluniak. Hope there's fighting and boobs
"Ham on Rye" - Bukowski. Bare-bones storytelling
"The Dirt" - Autobiography on Motley Crue. Quite possibly the dirtiest people alive. 1st paragraph "Tommy was seeing a chick we called Bullwinkle 'cos she looked like a Moose. He didnt want to dump her though 'cos she could spray her cum across the room". Nice.

CD:
Sigur Ross. The album with a pic of foetus on the front. It's quiet and whiny, like Thom Yorke making up his own language.

DVD:
Chasing Amy Criterion edition. To complete my Smith DVD collection
The Terminator - 2 disc edition. Because the 1st one is sci-fi lovely.

I got the new Pearl Jam album so I'm happy.

Choke rules.

Survivor rules.

But you didn't get Invisible Monsters. Which is the best one.

That's the one.
It's the pronounciation of the words that has me in stitches.
"Fire in the... Taco Bill...High Voiltige..It's ma desire"

Jack Black on collaborating with Jack White:
"It's a cosmic storm of rockness. Think Highlanger, The Gathering. We stood in the studio,arms thrown back and let the rock storm through us. A convergence of all rock personified in Black and White. We have the ability to shatter rocks with our rock mindforce now, so beware."

I haven't read a book for ages. I started reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, 'cos I thought it would instantly make me clever. But it didn't, so I stopped. It's very funny though - more Matt Groening than Ridley Scott. I imagine it as Futurama. Minoity Report was closer to how Phil Dick's novels read.

As in Jack 'White Stripes' White and Jack 'High Fidelity' Black? Excellent, I knew I'd heard that voice somewhere before, it's a top song. I thought it was maybe sung by Bobcat Goldthwaite, from the popular 'Police Academy' series.

I did, however, get a promo copy of Electric 6 "Fire in The Disco" song.
They keep banging it on Xfm.
Jack Black & Jack White.

"Fire in the disco...fire in the...taco bell....danger danger! High Voltage!"
Superb song.

It's background music, basically. Good stuff to have on while you're doing something else, you don't really have to pay attention to it. Kind of nice, in a relaxing sort of way, I could probably fall asleep to it, whether that's a good thing I don't know.

I'm trying to like Sigur Ross, I really am but it's just making me angry.

Survivor's very good, though not quite up to Fight Club standards. Choke I started, but never got round to finishing. Looks quite good anyway, about a sex addict. Right up your alley.

This weekend I also bought the new Sigur Ros album, a Rawkus compilation and the David Holmes and the Free Association LP. Needless to say, I now have no money.

Main town. Was staying with a lady who lives about 2 min walk from Grafton, so wandered through there and over to the main bit.
Went to big Lion Yard HMV and Borders.
