My, my, my, my, my sweet thing...

GIRL IN A SUICIDAL LANDSCAPE

A pessimist and an undercover pisshead bitter about the faults inherent in reality. A hopeless romantic that's been worn away by those she loves. Formerly ambitious and driven but no longer able to ignore the fact that class structure and old money means she will always be a non-entity, a good natured soul that has realised that one good turn usually deserves a massive punch to the metaphorical kidney. Basically a bitter jaded fucker who tends to drone on in a self absorbed way about how catastrophic life is – usually offensively – because she realises it is far better to get things of her chest than pick up a sniper’s rifle and shoot whoever gets in her way through the chin.

Nothing gets me going like Van Morrison's 'Sweet Thing'. Cue me bouncing and bounding, skipping and tripping all over the place while cantillating the following:

And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
And I dont know why
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.

My, my, my, my, my indeed.

Van really is The Man. I can sing and play Astral Weeks - I must record it some time.

Cheers, Tom.

I never saw the appeal of him.

But that is the thing about musical tastes - they are personal.

Glad it makes you happy.

Who would win in a fight, Van Morrision or Eric Clapton?

However I can guess that you have a burning hatred for Clapton for reasons that are obvious only to yourself. Am I right?

  Ha. You know me too well although I rate Clapton for flipping the bird at Yoko and Lennon while the lot of them were being photographed...
  
  Drake or Donovan? Or is that a silly question?

    Donovan would simply die in the dark void that is Drake's heart would he ever get close.

I have just noticed your list of Essential Albums - exquisite taste - but seriously - nothing newer than Joy Division?
