polinski the iconoclastic one
sent me some rare ambient gear
(our shared passion)
AND
talked me thru how to get mp3s into my eye choons
not once
not twice
but 3 times
without losing temper
or sneering at my complete ineptitude
eg
polinski: now click on the arrow
sk : cant i arrow on the click?
polinski: open that file
sk:what file?
polinski : the one ya just clicked on
sk: my screens gone black, is this normal
polinski: is yer computer turned on..
sk; damn, i was doing it to the karoake machine…
etc etc
much merriment ensues
thanks polinski
now i got bahn bahn bahn of the autobahn
going well with my slightly germanic phase
(oh sk loves germany in summer too
wish i was at picnic with manfred n fandorin n carlo
no snakes, no spiders
just lederhausen)
and finally
a copy of vegan voice
with a note from editor handwritten too!!
now this is quite funny
you see id been doing the interviews in parts
over a long period
and in the beginning of the interview
my answers were short n straight
a little unimaginitive i guess
i wassa in ye olde cafe at that stage…
and i hate typing…
anyway 2/3 rds the way thru
the thing
one day i show up at caf
have smoked a little whippet thin spliff
of p n p s finest
ready to become “olde sk”
when malfunktion on bloggy
no can work
so i roam thru my emails
frustrated….hmmmm? whats this
more questions for vegan voive eh???
so instead of getting curt quick steve kilbey
they now gotta sk on the line
going on about this n that
(how i communicate with animals among other things)
all in blogg speak
the lovely interviewer writes back
love yer answers man
but we gonna have to unversify them
itll take up too much room to print em that way
so there i am a right nutcase blathering on
in free prose about the horrors of meaty things
get the article and spot the point
where i change from one into the other
and fuck
i feel guilty about any cheesey or yoghurty
i had in europa
folks
i wassa fucking hungry….alright!?
you try being a fuckin vegan in espagna
yeah yeah
i know merrick
youd never eat cheesey even if you were droppin’
but the show must go on….doesnt it?
who said it did?
i dunno
but if it took a little thing of yoghurt and some white widow
to get me onstage in bilbao…so be it
otherwise it was a plate of runner beans and broccoli
i need a little more than that
but im back to my veganism now
and should hopefully be able to maintain in u.s.
where you CAN get veg food
specially in cally fornya
wow
we’re hitting some strange places on this tour
florida etc
