Ok friends, i have been a bad VOX'r and i know it. So much has happened that i can't begin to catch you up in one post. The most important event since the last time i updated is the arrival of my nieces, Lucy and Vivian. My sister, Jamie had her two beautiful little girls on October 16th at roughly 2pm. The journey was a long and emotional one but nothing compares to the joy we all felt the day we first met these two precious babies.
The proud parents have already set-up a website for their little darlings. You can see pics and watch videos of the girls at www.vivianandlucy.com. Joe is really good about updating the site so it's been fun to capture their growth even after only 5 weeks.
This past weekend, Joe took video of the girls which makes me smile (and admittingly a little teary...i'm such a sap) every time i watch it. Here is a video of VIvian who is turning out to be the spitting infant image of her adoring auntie Robin:
Here is a video of Lucy taken by Joe with cousin Tara's voice in the background:
I'm looking forward to spending the Thanksgiving holiday with the Green Bean baby girls, Jamie, Joe, cousin Corinna and Aunt Shelley who will be meeting the babies for the first time today.
I struggled getting started writing this week's 90MM because I don't actually have the vocabulary to describe The KLF.
I started off trying to write something comparing them to that scene in [insert name of practically any teen movie here] in which the cool kids are pretending to agree with the uncool kid but actually they're just taking the piss out of them - but that didn't quite work.
Then, worrying that I was revealing a bit too much of my not-so-secret enjoyment of trashy teen movies, I thought about Marcel Duchamps and his dubbing of a urinal 'art' and what it meant when one of the leading lights of art starts, if not rejecting the concepts but at least examining the more self-evident absurdities.
Then I started off on a tract about style-vs-fashion and how some people are able to make whatever they do look good no matter what.
What it comes down to though is that Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty in their incarnations as The KLF, The Kopyright Liberation Front/Kings of the Low Frequencies, The Jams, the Justified Ancients of Mummu, The Timelords, The K Foundation, One World Orchestra, 2K etc etc managed to simultaneously mock the whole music and art industry whilst also changing the entire face of the industry and putting out storming, anthemic tracks like this
and this
They practically invented the modern bootleg with "Whitney Joins The JAMs" whcih mashed "Mission: Impossible" samples with Whitney Houstons "I wanna dance with somebody". Then, as The Timelords they deliberately wrote a nauseatingly catchy "lowest common denominator, something that Timmy Mallet would understand" song which took samples from Doctor Who and crashed them into Garry Glitter's "Rock and Roll (Part 2)" and The Sweet's "Blockbuster!" with the explicit intention of getting a number 1 single. Which they did with "Doctorin The Tardis". Then they wrote a book called "The Manual (How to have a number 1 the easy way)" which told you how they did it and gave the guarantee that if you followed the book to the letter and didn't get a number 1 they'd refund the cost of the book.
They 'retired' in the most spectacular form possible - at the 1992 Brit Awards they performed a live "violently antagonistic performance" of "3 A.M Eternal" in front of "a stunned music-business audience" with crust punk group Etreme Noise Terror. Prevented from throwing buckets of Sheep entrails over the audience a bekilted Bill Drummond theatrically limped on stage and fired blanks from a machine gun into the air
After which they burnt their last million pounds on the Isle of Jura and filmed it.
Every time someone tries to tell you that Green Day or Limp Bizkit or Sum 41 or god-forbid Avril Lavigne are punk I want you to think of this. I'm not saying that their music is bad necessarily I'm just saying that if some one tries to straight faced tell you that those or similar artists are "punk" then I want you to cock slap them. I want you to physically either punch them in the penile or vaginal area and/or lay about their face with your penis or other similarly degrading appendage - work with what both you and they have people. Get creative. Make sure they REALLY TRULY understand.
Because it's important.
Except when it's not.
Ia! Ia! Cthulu fhtagn!

- 16:11 三連休で、やっと部屋の掃除や洗濯、洗い物が終わった。郵便物の整理が終わったので、机がかなり片付いたのも大\xE3 \x81\x8Dな成果！ #
- 17:45 洗濯乾燥機を即買いモードで有楽町ビックカメラに行ったが、何分たっても販売員の方が「ちょっとお待ち下さい」だったので諦める。自分が販売員なら、男ひとり客は指名買いの可能性が高そうと思うのだけど、本当のところはどうなんだろう… #
- 17:51 @shuiro よし、 @yanabo さんからのリプライを待とう #
- 17:55 結局、有楽町まで来て手ぶらは悲しいので、スタバに寄る。六本木にもあるけど、ささやかな意味付け行為w #
- 17:59 @yanabo いや、一日も早く欲しいので、ネットで買います。というか今の洗濯乾燥機もまだ3年ですが、あまりに故障するので買い換えるのです（いまは乾燥機のヒーターが壊れている） #
- 18:01 @neohawk その有楽町ビックカメラに洗濯乾燥機を買いに行って失意なう、なんです（過去ツイート参照） #
- 18:07 @yanabo そうそう。毎日使う物は、故障が多いと生活に支障が出ますからね #
- 18:17 ちなみに洗濯乾燥機の販売員ネタですが、自分以外はすべてカップル客でした。仮説としては、1)女性客の販売員確保能力が高い、 2)販売員がカップル客を成約率が高い客として認識、あたりかなぁ… #

大好きだったフィービースノウ。これを聴いていたとき、この街に10年以上も住むことになるとは、誰が想像しただろう。
晴天のゴールデンブリッッジを渡るのも気持ちがよいけど、ベイブリッジをサンフランに向けて帰ってくるとき、短いトンネルを抜けて、だんだん右手の視界に広がってくる街の夜景のすばらしさは、見た人にしかわからない。残業を終えた日の何よりのギフトだったなぁ。毎日、片道一時間かけて通勤した、電車じゃなくて車で。やはりアメリカに住んでるんだなと、今さらながら実感。（笑）
この曲の作者はJesse Fuller(1886-1976)。とても同じ曲と思えないほど、元のメロディーは違う。以下ここより抜粋：
Jesse Fullerは、西海岸を本拠地とするフォーク、ブルース系の黒人シンガーで、ギターの他にホルダーに付けたハーモニカやカズー、本人考案によるフットスイッチによるパー カッションを同時演奏するというワンマンバンドで評判をとり、この曲が代表曲。ピーター・ポール・アンド・マリーを初め、多くのフォーク・ミュージシャン によりカバーされた。
もと歌は、失恋したけど「彼女が戻って来たら、サンフランシスコ湾をいっしょに歩くんだ」とまだまだ、希望を捨ててない歌。フィービーはsheをheにしたりそのほか微妙に変えて歌っている。
I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay,
The ocean liner's gone so far away.
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had,
She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die.I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind.
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.Sitting down looking from my back door,
Wondering which way to go,
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more.
Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue,
And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you.Meanwhile, in another city,
Just about to go insane,
Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name.
If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
