| Lyrics from songs are some of the best literature I've ever read and they are easy and so much fun to quote! Great for senile people like me. Anyway, reading these brilliant lines is much better than me making you read some of the stuff I wrote. Gives you a 'feel' of me and though it ain't 100% accurate, the stuff that a person reads or listens to determines the orientation of the neurons. |
| Belle & Sebastian's lyrics sometimes give me the idea that probably Holden Caulfield could have written it himself. And of course Catcher in the Rye is one book that has been part of my life since I was 16. And now I'm an adult .......... Their lyrics about losers and sad people (their stories told with a mild black humour) reflect the pathetic streak in us (at least for me) just like what Catcher does. Their covers and lyrics often employ book titles and authors such as 'The Trial', 'Loneliness of the middle (long) distance runner', 'Catcher in the Rye', Kerouac, Dostoevsky, Kerouac etc. Catchy poppy 60s-like tunes with sadistic and depressive lyrics--the making of a completely twisted fairy tale. hiak! I did another website which serves as a homage to the adolescent angst 'epic' of the 20th century.--Catcher in the Rye http://liquidvelvetcowboy.homestead.com/ |

| and Jarvis Cocker should have been a writer. No joke! I laugh at his lyrics to myself all the time. heh heh heh. I wonder when he'll ever publish a book.....he would definitely be in the league of Bukowski. |

| I'm never into superhero comics but indie experimental graphic novels with introspective storylines really fascinates me; stories about everyday life and common people; realism coexisting with escapism. Check this out- http://www.drawnandquarterly.com/ Adrain Tomine's Optic Nerve really rocks! Of course, not forgetting another indie great- http://www.fantagraphics.com |
