Reynolds has been SMOKING this week. He’s supposed to be working on his book, I was awaiting the hanging paragraphs. We’re bloody lucky he’s finding time to chat. Sheer class! Double Figures! As we say in ice-skating.
Word Count (high for him): 276,776.
COM
Marcello sounded seriously pissed off this week. He too has his hands full, so once again, we must colour ourselves lucky.
Word Count (down a few million): 324,976,435.
Heronbone
Luka has been busy chasing girls in stolen cars. Good for him.
Word Count (a juicy): 645.
Astronaut's Notepad
Jon’s been organising successful Avant-Garde Cinema events. He’s pulled back from the brink, and has still made a respectable entry.
Word Count (a beautifully organised): 18. (I actually counted these, ha ha!)
K-Punk
My new mate, the swinging professor. We share smokes after class (me in shorts clutching a conker, him hunched in tweed and tortoise-shell glasses) We talk Phil Collins and John Foxx. A stunning entry into the blogosphere. BRAVO!
Word Count (it’s purely academic) 3,674,888
The Pillbox
Penman‘s been trying to sell his copy of Mutant Disco to some geeky fanboy.....me? I have a copy. The best thing about that record is his liner-notes (true…) Last Sunday Ian wrote a small novella in about 45 parts. I’m like, Lyotard that’s some kind of ballet outfit, right?
Word Count (a bollock-breaking/flowing): 6,754,001
Phil Sherberne
Phil blessed me with a TRULY lovely Microhouse mix CD this week. Will be honoured somehow. Clearly collating music in his image, Minima Moralia is gentle, charming and sophisticated.
Word Count (nice): 1,453
Uncarved
I love Eden’s site. But seriously John? You’ve written about Reggae and homophobia? Copy and Paste that shit. In case you didn’t know there’s a f*** of a lot more to Eden than writing about music.
Word Count (It’s not the words that count): 674
Sacha Frere-Jones
Brevity is the essence here. SFJ spinning his blog like a Haiku/Ramones song. A refreshing snapshot of East American life…meals and all.
Word Count (oi!): 23
Matos
Unaccountably ommited from my last Sinking Links TM (smacks forehead). Michelangelo "God fears him" Matos has been polishing some very pretty marbles.
Word Count (after a quiet patch....going up): 7,655
Skykicking
I keep linking Tim up, but you know, he has kicked me hard in the bollocks recently. I did notice! I only mention it in case you thought I was a total dumb ass giving him props when I should be sulking. CONTROVERSY! What could I say against this dude! He’s the RUSHIEST!
Word Count (going up all the time): 9,755
Inglistan
My soul brother Bismillah Raxmani Rahim. Eden described this site as “pleasurably disorientating” which nails it. Test your psychoanalytical skills to the max, see if you can figure what makes this dude tick…
Word Count (er…): 0
Spizzazzz
My kind of music journalism (true…) Oh Missy Mack, Missy Mack, you don’t reply to my calls. I lurve you Missy Mack! Don't marry Pharrell, he's a no good chicken!
Word Count (It’s the pictures of celebrites in tight-fitting clothes which count): 622.
