Second First Friday

The first Friday of the month yesterday = time for First Friday, my second First Friday in total. Pretty good night in all, banging tunes, indie chicks, and walking around in half an inch of what I hope was lager. Luckily there was no sign of Sweet Child of Mine or Living on a Prayer THANK GOD, but in the smaller room I did encounter pidgeon turd on the statue of music; ska.

I'm not a fan of ska at all, fair enough, we could leave it at that, different tastes and all. What bugs me are all those shitty ska/punk covers of 80s pop songs. "Oooooh, look how crazy we are, we're playing a song from one genre in the style of another!!!11". Yes, we all know songs like 99 Red Balloons and Take On Me can be speeded up a bit and have a trumpet thrown in, that doesn't make it cool. It's a fad that passed 5 years ago, and there's no need to ressurrect it.

Ugh.. anyway, there were loads of great tracks being played, including the uh-ter-ly awesome Y Control by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and that remix of Arctic Monkeys (note to self: must download it). I'm really digging that song Peace and Quiet by The Rifles too.

A strange thing happened when they played Muse. As usual I did my "start singing the words to
Time is Running Out no matter what Muse song is playing" when Starlight came on, but that was interrupted when a
slightly innebriated young woman next to us bent her knees, hooked two fingers inside her lips and stretched her mouth open at the sides and tried to sing along. Sounds odd, but it seemed to sum up the song pretty well. Nice one lady, whoever you were!

Conversation on the way to the bus stop mentioned the mad woman, and brought up the old adage that the sexiest part of the woman is in fact the brain. Col had a look of confusion on his face and was trying to figure out the mechanics of making love to the above mentioned organ. It's now his mission in life to 'brain' a girl.

There's only one cure for feeling crap after a wild night of hedonism; sit in bed, drink tea and watch Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David is officially holds hero status with me, the guy completely cracks me up. He now joins the ranks of such esteemed people as Michael Biehn:



I mean come on, the guy totally killed Terminators, Aliens and invaded Alcatraz!

Anyway, here's a clip from Curb for those of you that have never seen it. There's no proper script you know, they make it up as they go along!

Gordon Street? Ah, yes, Gordon Street. I used to know a girl who lived there, when I was young.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of that girl and the promise that I made which I will always keep.

That one perfect day on Gordon Street.

Doesn't braining a girl generally equate to the same thing as, um, killing her? I could be wrong because I'm not a scientist.

Glad to hear that second, erm, friday was good; I've always wanted to go, but Islington's just ... well, a little bit further away than I can be bothered to go. I can live it vicariously through your blog.

J-Man, do you remember the directions on how to get to Gordon Street?

Timbo, it's definitely worth going to but it is a bit of a trek. You may have to hardcore it and pull an all nighter if the prospect of night bus doesn't appeal.

I've just come back from London via the night bus, it has a real mixture of people; crackheads and different types of crackheads.

Five blocks up and two over?

Make sure its the FIRST presbetarian church you go to though.

This post makes me want to go out and dance. And considering it's 11:26 in the morning, and I'm wearing my Pyjamas, that's no small feat.

I've had a brain crush on guys before, so it should be possible to brain someone.

Dinah, do you mean to say you had a crush on his intellectual side, or literally on the gooey stuff inside his skull? If the second, I suggest you see 'Hannibal', there's a scene where the top of Ray Liotta's head is chopped off and you see everything

Hannibal?? Gross!! I haven't seen that movie an never will.

We had to handle a human brain for a lab I had once. It wasn't pleasant, and the cerebellum looks like canned tuna when dissected.

So, no. I don't think braining someone in the classic sense is very sexyfying at all....
