Bought this for the first time today - 50p and I'm listening to it right now and I can't fathom why Scott Walker? The man who tried Jacques Brel's suit on, liked the cut of its jib, and let it hang - why? It may just be the spackle-crackle of decrepit vinyl; the dank must of the room, the cigarette lazy, liminal, halfway burnt, halfway felled, halfway... All conspiring - but right now Frank Sinatra is the greatest singer in the world, a brillo pad dipped in honey. "It's a gasser."

Who is Lenny Bruce?

The slow slip-slide of the trumpets, like those fifties movies, channel 4 and lucozade by yr bed, gastro-entruitis, 12pm, school's in and yr bed sheets are dripping wet - and its not Abbot & Costello - it's some James Stewart you've never heard of, it's Double Indemnity, it's that guy who played the gangsters, with the baby faces, James Cagney? Yeh, it's him, and you shuffle inside yr bed, cos it's either this or This Morning, and the cliches would be 'smoke', 'jazz', 'dark alleys', Bogarde, Bogart, 'cigarillos', and there's a stakey, a knife, a rush and a push, down... down, and the beau, they were belles then though, the beau, at her knees, she weeps, and the anti- hero dies.

Credits.

The End.

You'll mail what Julio? Mail it to [email protected] The e- mail used here is just a SPAM trap.

Sorry, I'll rephrase it! I'll post this message so you don't feel lonely (as you don't have any answers to your thread)..

This is a serious question. You put yr heart an' memory into a question - an' finally talk about music you like on this here ILM and... disparaged. Honestly, I am sincere.
