tales from an ordinary world

1999-08-12

The new Guided By Voices CD came with not only a poster, but also a cardboard drink coaster thing. Those wacky americans...Oh yeah, and blah blah blah no more lo-fi sound thanks to Ric Ocasek blah blah blah wank wank wank. Sounds good but.

I hid out in "Fat Ben Cafe" to escape the rain. It's this tiny little cafe just off Flinders Lane, with the retro furniture, a bit of anime art and all that sorta stuff. The guy had a turntable (fine) and a laptop to play his CDs, which seemed rather quaint. Given that it's in this narrow alleyway in the middle of lots of buildings, plus it was raining a lot, I guess I oughta insert a gratuitous Blade Runner reference here (sorry).

But how am I feeling ? Christ, I don't know. My head's a mess of thoughts, feelings and confusion. And I don't know where to start...
