Let me tell you that I saw a small child wearing a Roxy Music t shirt today.
Is this a well deserved nod towards the innovative brilliance of Manzanera, MacKay, Eno and Ferry or some other misguided fashion statement?
Alternatively, entertain me because I just come here sometimes but I'm very (special) needy.

Seeing as we're being serious
I think, if I did find that one thing I could get passionate about, I'd be happy to put in the 60 hour weeks. But so far, I haven't. And I've tried so many different things and never properly succeeded at any of them. I keep hearing about how the only failure is when you stop trying, but as long as I keep trying to get jobs that might get me out of bed in the morning, they keep telling me that my experience isn't what they're looking for.
It's not doing wonders for my confidence levels, I'll tell you tyhat.

Bryan Ferry in particular is a jumped-up Geordie miner with 'art' pretensions. You can see what a ghastly prick he is by how he has raised his son 'Otis' - and by the fact that he called the twat 'Otis'.
Yeah if I have another child and it's a boy I am going to call him 'Muddy Waters Boyce' because I, too, am a Ferry-sized spastic. Well done Bryan.
And PS, having an oboe solo in your debut single does not mean you are an arty, ironic band, it means you are shit and are embarrassing yourself. Hope this helps x

Bryan Ferry in particular is a jumped-up Geordie miner with 'art' pretensions. You can see what a ghastly prick he is by how he has raised his son 'Otis' - and by the fact that he called the twat 'Otis'.
Yeah if I have another child and it's a boy I am going to call him 'Muddy Waters Boyce' because I, too, am a Ferry-sized spastic. Well done Bryan.
And PS, having an oboe solo in your debut single does not mean you are an arty, ironic band, it means you are shit and are embarrassing yourself. Hope this helps x
