all going wooooooooooooooooooo
(high pitch electronic sounding note)

theres a funny thing
when yer young the thoughts of age death etc
are abhorrent to ya

i must say it all doesnt seem SO badde
i mean
ive had a goode innings
thanks to vegetarianism

i m probably more active now
than ever before
god
my calf muscles are legendary
my mind is leaping ahead
of itself
all connexions giving and receiving
dis information
i am proud of my humility
(cmon its a joke)
i am such a lovely manne to be with
its almost unbearable
which is why most people hate me
they love to hate to love to hate
me
everyone got a different take on everybody
one mans saint is another mans dinner
aint that the troof
its all in the intent
why you reading this tripe at all
cos once i wrote a song you liked
out of all the idiots out there
writin' songs and singin'
you liked mine
what was different?
the chords? the notes? the words?
nope
it was the intent
the intent to escape the mundane
even tho i have failed many times
i guess
maybe not THAT many times
my badde stuff is only relatively badde
its better than most others best
i reckon
ha ha ha

Thank ye'.

spring
closet cleaning ...
you know
even a rock star

have to go through
your stuff
once in a while
... and now
you've inspired me
to get rid of
everything
that isn't
paisly
or black
(after all
i have to keep
something)
love
diane
ps
"you liked mine
what was different?
the chords? the notes? the words?"
don't forget
the voice sk
it's magic
"along with the
intent to escape
the mundane"
Mr. K - I think you truly are the one who is right. Thank you.
You know Kaiser Chiefs is name of south Africa's football club?
Blog goodas usual!
"Yes" you were right Steve!
My mother said the same of me, as did my
Teacher's
neighbour's

enemeys
prince's
Queen's
lord's
Bush''s
Howard's Etc..

I searched and searched
Where's your paypal
Can't give you funds
Can't turn it all over to you
Without somewheres to click
Guess I have to keep it all
Sorry it didn't work out
Thirty bucks for CDs from churchmerch
All very much worth it kids
Bought all your remasters
Brilliant B-sides and one thing--
Release THIS:
Ten 2-CD Live Albums
Release them and they'll sell
The Church is Live
A show here, a show there
Release them and ye shall prosper
Market demand and all that
For my sanity to hear it live
To hear the expression of ideas
With reverb and the full sound deafening and live
And THIS is the reason why we buy
Free access to text rehearsals
A gift from SK
Thanks for the thoughts and writing
Thanks for putting it all here
Don't think its because of songs
It's all for the ideas
And your discarded thoughts
Are better than anyones $50 disc
That was amazing. Just simply brilliant. I have spent the better part of the day reading these in chronological order and you have honed your craft quite nicely as the days and months have passed....the prose you have created of late is just so damn good.

Happy Birthday
Donna
Your left is right, dig!
Thanks SK
Dig
it's funny, because I was reading a book about Darwin's voyage of the Beagle, and it mentioned "alluvial debris", and I thought, damn, that would be a great title for a blog!! As I finished reading, I logged on and behold, your title from Monday!!
I think you're right when you say why do we listen to your music and you say it is the intent - I never thought about it in this way. I do have to say that most artists/bands put out a good album now and then and a lot of bad albums in between, but your music has always been consistently great and I think it is getting better and better.
today I worked flexi, tonight I paint. such is life.
I think the well lit kissing fish and siamese yodas would make a nice painting.
before i leave my beloved internetted, let me say to u i don't know why i swallowed a fly... no, let me say: revised thought - best thought - finished thought [my own rambeling process to bare] - kilbey - you and all your complicated answers - auh gras***
"one mans saint is another mans dinner"...HA!
I thought I Love You Big Dummy was a Van Vliet-ism...
"now I'm getting petty old".
Yeah right, only if compare yourself to l don't know, some flash in the pan band, that will have a life span of like 5 years. You know what I mean, whats an example, Wolfmother, really like there going to be around for the next 25 years.
Look at Bowie (I really liked Heathen, how old was he when he made that) or Iggy 59 (incredible), the Stones and lets not forget how fucking cool Lenard Cohen makes 72 look and he's still making great albums about sexy women and he's a smoker, I reckon its his dress sense has kept him going (vanity its a great thing).
So if Lenard Cohen is old, that makes the stones only adults, Bowie and Iggy teenagers and you nothing more than a baby, baby!
All those guys also rocked pretty hard too.
ha!
If you are making albums at the same age as Cohen, The Church are about half way through, only another 25 years to go and then we may think about putting you out to pasture or mabybe not!
It you keep going at the same pace that means there's going to be another 30-50 great albums to look forward to.
I want to see someone blow the perception of age away and I think your the man for the job. I can imagine you smoking a spliff at 85 in an interview about your latest album.
it's always late at night and in an altered state that I fully appreciate these blogs...amazing work!!it changes with the light.
Yea and don't even think about walking onto the stage at Commonwealth Games with that Willy fucking Nelson pony tail!!!! Let it all hang out (your hair I mean)
Ah yes the ringing of the ears.
I get a tich of it too SK.
Reading and creating my little pieces of art makes it stop - oh and yes and time with my family.
Old - a concept of the mind - what is the reality of it - past of a present - returning from a future - looking behind.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee Hello - yes - who is it ......eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Re: Kaiser Cheifs on Rage. Prety drab, but at lesast put on Beastie Boys Sabotage vid. Saw Gomez do Rage few years back: most humorous. Like their feels musically too.
Steve, I reckon P=A prod sound is cut above, especially snare and drumming. The Ripple momentum, mix and tightness.
Love the blog work. Hi to all my night friends - like a bird, man.
"INELUCTABLE" is the appropiate word for our situation, ineluctable means one who cannot escape his own "fate", though you may have already tried esskay, it is not possible, our true destiny awaits...
M.J.N.JR.
Smetana, that famous Czech (=bohemian) composer had a bad tinnitus and made a composition including his special Tinnitus sounds, incorporating it all in a string quartet "from my life". that'd be a nice tune... with these humming TVs coming in! No, i'm not making fun, i'm often suffering from that...
i flashed
my biceps
you flashed
your calves
pk pretends to have never met me but he likes me because of the chocolate soy milk!
Cecilia
Ye olde dictionary says it means: Impossible to avoid or evade; inevitable.
The ringing in the ears - an ineluctable occupational hazard I'm afraid - my left one's getting bad - too many loud drummers in my case - why are they always so LOUD!.
Everyone in the world wants paisley shirts these days - have you tried getting one on EBay recently.
Intent - I like that and I guess you guys have always been full of it.

"it IS me thats right

No fucking kidding! Just because everyone else is doing something doesn't make it right.
...and I kind of like the floral bricklayer look you have going.
:-)
I'm have trouble with my comments
brickal flowerlayer
nut cutlets?
hmm...
"INELUCTABLE" eg saying 'intent in a tent.
Yep it's intent.
"its all in the intent

Because there's nothing else out there to read. And work is so, so boring.
