curiousbadger: I remember seeing a yank talk show which had this guy who'd got breast implants on a bet


Michael: nice


curiousbadger: They made him put plasters over his nipples, as if that was the worrying part


Michael: haha

Hang on - do you know Curious Badger IN REAL LIFE???

[vertigoranger.livejournal.com]

Ah this is a sore point. My curiousbadger has been one for ages and was mightily uninmpressed and swore vendetta when he discovered the existence of your curiousbadger. So yes, and no.

I'll tell you what though, he's going to be no less unimpressed by this other imposter I just found.

Oh dear...

That guy wrote a book, which I saw a couple of weeks ago being offered for sale by a street vendor on Holloway Road.

Out the back of a Reliant Robin, no doubt.

Mention of Holloway Road made me think of Alan Moore's Higbury Working - ever hear it?

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Yes! It's great. Gosh had a batch of the workings in signed a few years back, so I picked up the ones of which I didn't already have Eddie Campbell adaptations.

[vertigoranger.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the adaptations at all so I got all of the the recordings, I think, with the exception of the new one (there's a new one). I will say I was delighted to hear the use of Rod Freeman & The Blue Men's "I Hear A New World" at the start of the Joe Meek bit, which I'd heard on the Rough Trade Electronic compilation, and which is one of the most singularly unnerving songs I've ever heard - proof in my mind that Alvin and the Chipmunks are well sinister.

They're collected now under the name A Disease of Language, together with the big Moore interview Eddie ran in Egomania years back. I love them, but whether they'd stand up so well for someone who knows the audios, I couldn't say.
