‘So! You take let us assume a third toke; long and slow. You vaporise
and you take it in and in and in… and there is a sound like the
crumpling of a plastic bread wrapper or the crackling of flame and a
tone. A mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
and there is this…….

There is a cheer. The gnomes have learned a new way to say hooray. The walls, such they be, are crawling with geometric hallucinations. Very brightly coloured, very irridescent. Deep sheens and very highly reflective surfaces everything is machine-like and polished and throbbing with energy but that is not what immediately arrests my attention. What arrests my attention is the fact that this space is inhabited. And so like jewelled self dribbling basketballs these things come running forward and what they are doing with this visible language that they create is they are making gifts! They are making gifts for you and they will say …’

Ok, this one is awesome. This is from Kiaser Chiefs and it goes like this:

---

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
And old Leodiensian

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

I tried to get in my taxi
A man in a tracksuit attacked me
He said that he saw it before me
Wants to get things a bit gory
Girls run around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn’t for chip fat, well they’d be frozen
They’re not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there’s anybody left in here
That doesn’t want to be out there

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there’s anybody left in here
That doesn’t want to be out there

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

So, I am not sure if this song would apply to Clifton Park, NY, and even though it is kind of burgeon, it is a really nice party song.

Last weekend MM and I went to the birthday party of SP in Cambridge. Beside the fact that we were actually the first one driving from Clifton Park (about three hours) and that we all got way too drunk, it was a great evening of fun. The food was great, drinks were, well, drinks, and the crowd was just what you would expect.

The next day DJ was touring the Cambridge to us and somewhere on the way we stopped in this place to buy tickets for The Walkman. Turns out I knew this band from before and I like it a lot. DJ also told me about some other bands. And here is the funny anecdote. So, I was listening to Kaiser Chiefs and their song Oh My God, which is by the way awesome. As I stop on the gym’s parking lot and go in, the song that is playing is the same Oh My God. Coincidence?

Anyway, here are the lyrics to We’ve been had, which is an amazing song from The Walkman

Well I’m a modern guy I don’t care much for the go-go
or the retro image I see so often telling me to
keep trying maybe you’ll get here someday
keep up the working, ok
I close the book on them right thereI see myself change as the days change over
I hear the songs and the words don’t change
I write them out of the book right thereWe’ve been had, you say it’s over
Sometimes I’m just happy I’m older
We’ve been had I know it’s over
Somehow it got easy to laugh out loudSee me age 19 with some dumb haircut from
1960 moving to New York City
live with my friends there we’re all taking the same steps
they’re foolish now

We’ve been had you say it’s over
Sometimes I’m just happy I’m older
We’ve been had I know it’s over
Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud

Now, if you like this one, you may like Kaiser Chiefs too. So, while I am sauntering around, thinking about my friends, I wish you all best.

Het bananenlied

Voor de groentewinkel stond Keesje de Jordaan
Zwaaiend sprak hij tot de baas, geef me een banaan
Maar de baas was juist die dag platweg uitverkocht
En hij dacht dat onze Kees ruzie met hem zochtEn de baas zei, ja ik heb geen bananen, ik heb geen bananen vandaag
‘k Heb radijsjes, hele mooie
Witte en rooie
Maar ja, ik heb geen bananen, ik heb geen bananen vandaag

Plots kwam er een rode kool door de winkelruit
En er volgde een meloen in de baas zijn snuit
De baas z’n snuit zat vol met sap, Kees ging voor hem staan
“Met je gore meloenenkop, geef me een banaan!”

Maar de baas zei, ja ik heb geen bananen, ik heb geen bananen vandaag
‘k Heb radijsjes, hele mooie
Witte en rooie
Maar ja, ik heb geen bananen, ik heb geen bananen vandaag

Dit is echt een superhit maar eigenlijk veels te kort
D’r moet nog een coupletje bij, dat is wat er aan schort
Zo stoffig als dit stukje tekst, dat kan eigenlijk niet
Maar de Boswachters doen het toch want die weten hoe het giet

En de baas zei, ja ik heb geen bananen, ik heb geen bananen vandaag
‘k Heb radijsjes, hele mooie
Witte en rooie
Maar ja, ik heb geen bananen, ik heb geen bananen vandaag

Maar de baas zei, ja ik heb geen bananen, ik heb geen bananen vandaag
‘k Heb radijsjes, hele mooie
Witte en rooie
Maar ja, ik heb geen bananen, ik heb geen bananen vandaag

So for anybody that saw Neophyte in person, you probably understand this. Well, hopefully there will be some other Rave City or something similar so I can enjoy the nice family rundelays.
