well what did i actually do today, kinda just drink tea in babylon with agent stone and wander around killing time for time to kill me, it's a weird concept killing time, cos ultimately time will get its revenge, it will happen slow and inevitably, your bones will ache and your skin will shrivel, you're mind will go as time creeps around suffacating you with it's onslaught, yeah time is my obsession and i hate being frivilous with it.

memory hit - the first band i saw live was pink floyd, huge stadium, i sat at the back, watching all this spectacular effects and stuff, enjoying the music, i was tripping on acid, captivated by the animations and lights, while dark side and meddle drifted around my head, taking my imagination for a wild ride.
for a 13 year old it was an event but the next month i saw xtc, without drugs, at a small club in london and i was at the front row, it was an early gig when they still had barry andrews bashing away at his clapped out old keyboards, who went on to play with iggy pop, man it was fucking amazing, all that energy, frenetic be bop pop, those guys could play man, the whole room went balistic, totally nuts, it was the dawn of punk and i was reborn from jaded hippie to punk attitude.
punk in london, 1977 was a revolution, it was a movement that started with music, but infiltrated litrature, film making, politics, fashion and then like all movements turned into a corprate slogan and remarketed back to a now desensitized audience, it was an amazing time and i went on to see the clash, the furs, the dammed, the cure, the jam, the only ones, au pairs and all the classic bands that we all know and love but the one moment i recall so vividly, the defining event i remember, seeing xtc preform their version of 'all along the watchtower' andy party was amazing, even did the harmonica bits, it was not that they had chosen to cover such a great song, it was the way they had deconstructed it and put it back together, if ya get a chance to hear that track, its on 'white music' their first album.
