That could be one of the best things that anyone has found on YouTube. Good work fella!

[blog] I've had enough of the rain now. Went swimming this morning, then straight to the garage to get my car brake pads replaced. I'm then informed that one of the discs has gone. £165. Great. Obtaining this disc would take a good hour or so, so I'm told that my car won't be ready for two hours. In the meantime, I have to get home for work, but the garage is an hour's walk away from my house, with no buses running there*. I've just walked home in the pissing rain, gaining half an hour at my screen before doing the same walk again. My car will be ready at 5, so I must set off. At least it's only drizzling now.
* and I can't be arsed wasting money getting a taxi to and fro. Plus, I suppose the added exercise is a bonus. [/blog]

something else I found a couple of weeks ago: burroughs and warhol have a chat over lunch. This was on TV on an Arena repeat recently. Burroughs is well grumpy, the miserable old bastard.
Anybody else got a youtube profile apart from me?

I don't know. I mean, I'd be tempted - but not if it meant that the most notable thing I'd ever done in my life was having once been 'The Nico-Banger'.
There again. Her singing on Femme Fatale leads me to believe it would be quite some bang and therefore not to be dismissed out of hand.

you'd have to catch her as the horse was wearing off. You don't want her all sweaty and fucked up because of withdrawal, but at the same time, if she's totally wasted then it wouldn't be much to write home about at all.

I'm ashamed to report that this morning I became one of those girls who collapse on the tube- only made it 2 stops before realising I needed to get off and sit down, but keeled over in the doorway when it stopped at Putney Bridge. Quite impressed by the Rapid Response Unit they seem to have- surrounded by blokes with walkie talkies escorting me into the station controller's office, where I had to have my name put in their "incident book": V POETESS: A HUNGOVER DISGRACE ON THE DISTRICT LINE, 08.15. It was utterly mortifying.

This is true although the same could be said of most "proper" content. I think the thing we can learn from this is that we need "shit filters", reviewers that we feel have similar tastes as ourselves to recommend content which appeals. This is where MP3 Blogs, video podcasts, forums and Big Nuts etc come in. It's similar to reading the recommendations page on the Radio Times rather than sitting through every program hoping for something good to come on.

There's something incredibly poignant about that clip that makes it very hard to watch. The grim inevitability of the chick's fate, and the steely indifference of the python that consumes it. What makes it even more chilling is that the chick never really seems to get a handle on the situation. It doesn't look panicked or especially aware of how mortal its situation. It puts up a brief half-hearted struggle at one point, but that seems to be more about discomfort than fear. Other than that it goes dumbly to its fate in apparent ignorance. Symbolic.
