Sorry chaps, I’ve got fuck all in me today. A post just won’t pop into my head, and I haven’t listened to any of my new music enough yet to feel I have enough understanding of it to pass on.

The other thing is that I have my latest podcast swimming around in my head and it is making it very difficult to think about other things. It appears I have the classic male mind: complete inability to multi-task, apart from the obligatory reflections upon sex every six seconds.

The new podcast is about gayness in indie music and life in general, which is something I feel really very strongly about. I’m not sure why because I am not gay myself and I don’t have many gay friends. The ones I do have a very good ones though, so maybe that’s it. Maybe it’s also the fact that homophobes are such unspeakable cunts that I would feel obliged to oppose them even if they were recommending a recipe for salad dressing.

Either way, for ‘research purposes’ I was printing off a splendid study about how homophobic men show unusual levels of arousal when exposed to gay porn, only my boss got to the printer before me. Honestly, he didn’t say anything, apart from ‘there’s something very strange printing off’ when I asked him if the printer was working properly, which isn’t always a given around here. So now I’ve been caught printing off articles about gay porn at work, which is nice. It annoys me a little that I find this at all embarrassing (Fuck you, it’s lunchtime, I’ll print what I want) and it also annoys me that it is very likely he did find it highly suspicious.

I am so tired and fed up with all this shit. Homosexuality. Not fucking leprosy, you retards.

So, until I get this podcast out of my system and get down and listen to some new music properly I am going to have to throw out a smattering of new and interesting things that are floating around my inbox as a sort of interlude. Sorry y’all, normal service will continue shortly.
