    don't you like american music.. baby? // 04.05.03

    aaaaah , the Violent Femmes . quality. pure, unadulterated quality. they were - i must say - fucking brilliant.
    i wouldn't say i'm a diehard Femmes fan or anything, but it would have to be one of the best shows i've seen in a while. there was much singing and dancing to be had, and though i'm sure i was probably one of the youngest people there , it didnt matter at all. i was having such a good time i didnt even mind when the stupid guy standing next to me elbowed me in the head.
    Victor of the Violent Femmes may be one of the coolest drummers ever. he was a total nutter, and his impromtu version of 'My Funny Valentine' (accompanied by drums only) was simply brilliant.
    if you get a chance to see these guys , don't pass it up.

    new coiffure // 29.04.03

    today i got my hair cut for the first time in about 6 months or so. about bloody time too, it was quite a mess.
    so now, its a bit shorter, a lot tidyier and dyed in a groovey violet - aubergine kinda colour.
    i'm pretty happy with it for saying i'd never been to that salon before and i just walked in and got an appointment straight away. excellente.
    shout outs to the boys kenneth and ben from tinyman - thanks for the guestbook comments, love your work. (the pumpkin is a good colour) noone's described my page as 'spartan' before, but i'm taking it as a compliment, i like my white space!
    ooooh, i'm going to see the violent femmes tomorrow nite... only one more sleep!

    ive had this song stuck in my head for days so here goes .. // 24.04.03

    Let me take your hand,
    I'm shaking like milk
    Turning
    Turning blue
    All over the windows and the floors
    Fires outside in the sky
    Look as perfect as cats
    The two of us together again
    But it's just the same
    A stupid game

    But I don't care if you don't
    And I don't feel if you don't
    And I don't want it if you don't
    And I won't say it
    If you don't say it first

    You think you're tired now
    But wait until three...
    Laughing at the Christmas lights
    You remember
    From December

    All of this then back again
    Another girl
    Another name
    Stay alive but stay the same
    It's just the same
    A stupid game

    But I don't care if you don't
    And I don't feel if you don't
    And I don't want it if you don't
    And I won't play it
    If you don't play it first

    You can't even see now
    So you ask me the way
    You wonder if it's real
    Because it couldn't be rain...
    Through the right doorway
    And into the white room
    It used to be the dust that would lay here
    When I came here alone

    But I don't care if you don't
    And I don't feel if you don't
    And I don't want it if you don't
    And I won't say it
    If you don't say it first

    Lets... go to bed

    HERE COMES A PANZER ATTAAAAACK!!! // 24.04.03
