Gravity's Rainbow

[lulahbelle]

Ok I am having a crisis of confidence, aaages ago my matey Kym was rattling on an on about a band called the Klaxons - she is like me and often rattles on about stuff that I half hear...

Then t'other day the lovely honeyswallow uploaded Golden Skans and I heard it and it does funny things to me (like propelling me into an obsessive' wracking YouTube

this concert is likely to be populated by a load of trendies whose clothes I will feel unable to compete with who will make me feel quite socially awkward and out of place and regret going....

well go anyway, and be fabulous!

not sure if I'd personally be capable of taking that advice myself though, due to my extreme introvertedness.

But maybe I'll do that when I hit 50, when nothing else matters. I'll have crazy Dame Edna glasses frames and a big fuschia trenchcoat and wear huge pashmina scarves and a haircut that's too young for my jowly face. And talk really loud and with a big sense of entitlement and give my $0.02 about everything. *sigh*

no... when I get to be 50, it's more likely that I'll cut my grey hair like Susan Powder's, and wear a leather jacket and cast knowing glances everywhere.

Lol a great little glimpse into the future there - I think that the second one is the better of the two options, dignity is not soomething that one should loose with age - surely older = wiser = dignity...

I don't know who Susan Powder is I am so gonna google her once I have written this...

I did a little edit, I emailed Jen and I think I'm gonna go - I must just do stuff when I want it's the only way out of the agony of indecision and myriads of painful too much thought that all my schemes get caught in...

it's susan powter... I spelled her name wrong... in any case she has almost a brush cut, bleach blonde.

I recorded the audio of that song for my mp3 player, wow! The dude has a nice voice... I like the aggressiveness of the beat with the quiet piano - pop + heaviness that to me is a bit like Malajube. Not the same thing... but I see parallels.

I suspected it was Powter, my friend Lulu had her hair like that once...random faxx...

Which one Gravity's Rainbow? - I adore that one in particular myself. I like the whole agressiveness of it all period...it's just full on and yet this heavenly voices floating over the top of it all...

The cartoon of the lead singer in that Malajube vid looks exactly like David Sylvian in cartoon form on the front of the Blemish album....the hat, the long hair
