the tapetrading days [sigh] haiku thread

Post by esteemantis »

while it took some time
copying meant listening
to many clash shows







the megalist down
Conan: Did you like the Clash?
John: No. Isn't that good enough? No, no, no.
Conan: Oh Come on, elaborate. Why, did you guys think you were trying to do different things?
John: Well, their kind of songwriting really was just a few quotes from Karl Marx around a merry little melody.
Conan: With a driving back beat that just wouldn't quit!

How much for this boot
I will take the bullet belt
It is Jungian
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!

I have a new tape
An undiscovered hue
by the Clash, Tainted Love
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I'm gonna need five shows from your list.

Fuck, sites like Dime a Dozen have been so satisfying for kicking tape trading profiteers in the teeth.

Inspired by Rattie, excerpts from my correspondence with the guy with the Monterey footage:

Filmmaking (my man) is a business
IT AIN'T YOUR BUSINESS!
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
