actually I meant 'alligators'

Sometimes when I'm writing about agitators I get so upset I just magnitogorsk magnitogorskmagnitogorskkkkk. And that's just washing machine agitators.

rowland and ollie at trash

I saw this on Rage a few months ago and it was (and remains) incredible!!!!! I assume Trash is the shop that Karen Ansell and Uschi Flett ran? Ollie and Rowland's band (Young Charlatans) played about 10 times I gather. How could they not have been incredible!?

best band

spoilt for choice

Not one but two Michael Keaton films on tv tonight! The Lindsay Lohan Herbie film and then Multiplicity. I think I will probably choose Multiplicity because I like the idea of being duplicated, I could certainly get stuff done, then again, the other me (whichever one that was) would probably take more on too. If it was a genuine me, it would take more stuff on in fear of one time having nothing to do.

Also Last Action Hero. Which I enjoyed the first time around.

Then later tonight, speaking of Keatons and Action Heroes, The General.

todd rundgren's album, arena

I reviewed this album elsewhere a while ago and now I have to say it's in my top 5 Todd. Now listening to it I can't even remember how I thought it was so extreme when I first heard it. My Todd top 5 is probably: 5. Hermit 4. Wizard true star 3. Arena 2. Runt 1. Something /Anything. I guess it is interesting to me that I can really like the work of someone like Todd while really knowing no-one else who likes his work like I do. I don't know if that's part of the interest. It is also interesting to me that something like the Pixies for christ's sake - a nonsense band of no merit - can fill Festival Hall, but Todd is not popular anymore. Extraordinary.
