I need a new book from you, Slim.
Got Nina playing now. I bought Elaine a Pendleton from Colin at Uncle Sam's over lunch, but I'm wearing it now...
What a Top Cat Colin is. I must put more money his way.
Sunny in the city today... E. was too shy to go into Uncle Sam's, which I thought was deeply cute.
I can remember taking a deep breath before I pushed open the door of No.2 Russell Street.
^Is that the one with the collection of magical pocket watches with the ability to make the wearer time travel in order to commit art crimes for a dastardly sinister horologist who wishes to surround himself with all the greatest art in history?
Miss Otis goes Kirsty MacColl and the Pogues:

So I was drinking a bit of Bernheim's Wheat Whiskey, and smoking a little of my stuff. I'm going to level with you guys, I love this album. Hate on haters.

I do love sharing all this stuff of ours with people and passing it on. I think I said as much to Tim on the phone last night...
Jazz
Ivy
Vodka
Good times
And the importance of taking the piss.

'Dial 'S' for Sonny' on repeat. July 21st, 1957.
As relaxed and Hip as the roll on a collar or the slope of a shoulder. As deep as the shine on a Weejun. As inspiring as a long distance chat with Jesmond.

^Rap: Guns, drugs, money and mysgony. Much prefer Chuck D and Flavor Flav around the Muse-Sick-An-Hour-Mess-Age phase, real Burroughs storming the reality studio shit.
Here's one from way back, Bird with strings, its snowing outside, its Sunday morning and I've enough Zinfandel New World wine to last this day:

I grew up in the country in the American south, black music (including rap) was our punk rock. No matter what the message, Wu- Tang, Public Enemy, Rakim, etc. was very heady stuff for us. Bird is always appreciated though. Here's another.

I have a hard time as well, and I'm still(barely) in my twenties. I haven't had a chance to check out the sequel yet I guess I had better pick it up if it lives up the old "raw shit".
Very nice version. A bit different than the one on "Jazz on a Summer's Day".
