just finished reading 'getafix' a fantastic fast paced roller coaster ride through india berlin denmark and israel, ians writing is hyper descriptive,able to manifest all sorts of imagry in between the story, yeah i love the way this guy writes, it's a gonzo journalism technique with unsavoury charachters you can relate to becuase they are doing the same thing as you or i would do under the circumstances, these people inhabit the world, they make the world, they are the world.

here i am driving home in a car that has just been serviced, when all of a sudden it starts making a terrible noise, like its a deisil truck, i drive it straight to my man, dan, who says its undrivable. I hope he can fix it up soon, else i'm kinda stuck. this is the thing about mechanics they operate on a level so far removed from my reality i have no idea what they do when i entrust them with my car. its a strange relationship, basically we are powerless in our ignorance.


i see lloyd cole is coming to town next month, i'm looking forwards to seeing him, at the basement. Lat time i saw him he was making a commotion.
