Monday Morning You Look So Fine: Round Are Way.

Sorry for all the younger generation out there, fans and friends perhaps expecting tales of derring-do.. but on a mellow Monday morning tip: fatherhood is top. Absolutely nothing can beat a (very) early morning ride to school and being surprised as your kid rings out with Messrs. Gallagher...

"Round are way the birds are singing,
Round are way the sun shines bright,
Round are way the birds sing for yer,
The already know yer..." - Oasis, Round Are Way

Oh, and if you you know the next verse, all about footy, City went down 1-0 to Chelsea yesterday. My mate Rudi from Cape Town is up soon on tour with Ashtray Electric and he's all Chelsea. I probably won't hear the end of it... Battle of the Billionaires indeed. At least United got HAMMERED by Liverpool.

Monday Morning You Look So Fine: Someday.

Been nostalgic the last few. Memories of friends met, road trips and coastal tours, 7 years ago when a friend came with me to the bus station to pick up the woman I loved, as he and his room mate couldn't stop listening to Is This It?

"See, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes

Oh, someday...

No, I ain't wastin' no more time..." - The Strokes, Someday

I guess it figures I'd get nostalgic seeing as it was Wynand and Frannie that I first found were likewise Strokes fans, back in those days when Justin and I were first "single"... and Herman was "healthy".

Time moves on, we get cancer, get divorced, get late night visits, spend Valentine's Day dancing like fools (myself included, as I rode Henry round the room) and we get old(er). As I said before, keep an eye out for the Van Coke Kartel piece to come on Speakerbox in the near future.

Got some phonecalls to make, some hair to cut.

Monday Morning You Look So Fine: Slam!

Haven't been able to get this out of my head since Saturday night... and to think Bacdafucup dropped in '93. The 30-somethings got stoopid at Party People... duuh duuh duuh.

"I'm a b-boy,
Standin' in my b-boy stance,
Hurry up and give me the microphone before I bust in my pants.
The mad author of anguish,
My language, polluted,
Onyx is heavyweight (and still undisputed!!)" - Onyx, Slam.
