keefa:
It was certainly a brutal review. I'm glad you thought it over a while longer than I did: my comments were pretty much a first impression and read as such. I agree with the majority of what you say, and I think it stands as a pretty decent album, all things considered.
Your point about Moz's battle with the UK press is interesting. As you may know, NME basically branded Morrissey some kind of racist after he was spotted waving a flag at a gig, which at the time was something strongly associated with neo-Nazis (if only he'd waited until Britpop, eh?). It didn't help that he was playing the show with Madness who had an unfortunate skinhead following at the time. Rather than intepret it as a bold, patriotic reclaiming of the Union Jack, they saw it as some kind of right-wing statement, even though there was nothing to support that theory at all in Morrissey's lyrics, interviews, etc. Anyway. The UK music press, NME in particular, has always built an artist up to better shoot them down later on.
If Moz bears a grudge, it doesn't show too much, as he's recently been all over NME: a two-part interview, photoshoots, and most recently, an interview with Franz Ferdinand (which was actually the best thing NME's printed in ages).

i always fall asleep 
at long last the torrent begins...
Why do you think I let you get away with the things you say to me?
To be standing by the flag not feeling shameful, racist or partial
The world is full of crashing bores and I must be one
I cant remember the last time I bought music magazines or resorted to song quotes.
Am I still...

A few years ago I suddenly realized that I didnt like being complemented. Can this be corrected with chemicals? Its extremely uncomfortable. I dont know why it makes me angry to look at my strengths and accomplishments. Am I a self-loathing perfectionist? Yuck! Thats so annoying. 
oh and May Day in da haus! power to da peeps!

i liked what you wrote in the punk rules thread. way to tie up what had been a rather silly and vacuous discussion with something coherent and meaningful. i especially like the last part.
in light of your current journal entry i'd just like to say that the above was not a complement and you are a stupid head.

well since you asked, Enschede is in the east of the netherlands right next to the german border, it's kinda nice here big enough to be called a city but the east still has enough country side to be able to get out and enjoy some nature if you want.
Sleepytime trauma
I used to have dreams where I would know I was asleep but unable to wake up. And I would wake up repeatedly in the dream in my room. I would know I was still asleep because none of the light switches would work (it would be nitetime). I would try to wake up by doing crazy things like jumping though windows only...

ahhh...the sweetest noise in my ears is the tormented wails of knowing from those burdened with an intellect who's scope shames mine to insignificance.

Overflowing with words and memories, trying to get it all down before it starts to fade. Sure, on rare occasion we stand in the presence of greatness, or have moments of clarity and inspiration. But more often than not, we dont know when we change and when we change others by the most subtle and seemingly trivial gestures. And only after, do we realize what...

the international student housing i am staying at has no internet and no phoneline besides the one payphone on the ground floor. it's like camping, in the netherlands (or neitherlands if you will). the building also happens to be a converted rest home. the walls are lined with railing for when we get tired. i'm learing to ride a bicycle. the dollar sags to new...

Phase2 of The Project nears completion. been sXe since the beginning of October. some serious compensation will commence now!
a ride on the bus is a trip to '96. things are so different here compared to southern california. the hills loom up on every side. unspoiled nature rules here. people don't flaunt wealth, wear designer clothes, or run you down in the parking lot. personality...

good luck with your project and the serious compensation.
I've never been out west, but I'd love to visit northern california. It sounds beautiful.
You're going to the Netherlands in January? I'm so so jealous. I hope you have a great time and and a lovely and relaxing holiday.
kisses to you.

i definitely feel like that when i put on a tie and "nice clothes" and dress all sharp. that was one of the fun things about running my own business was taking off the nail polish putting the sexy clothes on and nailing a client meeting, getting a deposit and making an impression. its good to have fun with that sorta thing. just can't let it go to our heads.
