tales from an ordinary world

2001-07-15

In the Greville St Bookstore, I pick up the nice little boxed version of Murakami's Norwegian Wood, and a copy of Sleaze Nation magazine, for their New Order interview. The girl at the counter asks me if I want a receipt for the book - I think she's under the impression that it's an art/design book, given the packaging and all, I suppose it's a reasonable assumption - A book about wood from Norway. Or something.

One paragraph sticks out, from the interview :

Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant allegedly broke down in tears after hearing Blue Monday because the track encompassed all his ambitions, before he'd got there.
