i had listened to a slowdive album
their first album
in bed in the morning
half awake, half asleep
warm and happy
a good night's sleep
a good night out
at the bar with sam
we know how to do it
i got up out of bed and put on
edward sharpe and the magnetic zeroes
they had two albums
and i played them both
i got out some ingredients
eggs
capsican
"peppers" if you watch the sorpranos
mushies
a bit of bacon
pepper and chilli
and make some cool little omlettes
lady-elle came home from the gym
she seemed pretty cool
she helped me with the omlettes
they can get out of control pretty easily
we sat down and ate them
as the second edward sharpe and the magnetic zeroes album
came to an end
we teased each other, and gave each other shit
and laughed about it
we're both pretty good at it too
we hung out
i walked down to dixons
quietly chuffed that i live within walking distance
to melbourne's biggest colllection of second-hand music
i sold some stuff i didn't need anymore
the guy
doug
a blackburn / melbourne legend
gave me a good price
he only took half of the stuff
but i expected that
later i jumped on my bike
i cruised slow
nice and slow
around the lake
i hit the shops and pushed through the food court
so many people buying food
i walked to the cd shop
and scanned around
tim rogers had released a new album
and i wanted to buy it
i love tim rogers
funny, intelligent, and a waster
i could only wish if i didn't try so hard
i paid for it at the counter
and the guy at the counter was a little too friendly
i rode my bike home
i rode my bike passed my friends empty parked car
don't see him much these days
but i'll see him around
i stopped off at the bottle shop
and picked up a six-pack of beer
and paid for it
again, the girl behind the counter was probably a little too nice
i hope she enjoys her weekend though
i carried the beer home on my bike
got a few looks
from the middle-class in the cafes i cruised passed
good on 'em
when i got home
lady-elle was taking a nap
she looked pretty funny
i got some lunch ready
a light lunch
since breakfast was so nice
and really, not that long ago
i sat down and listened to some music
i thought about the most psychedelic things i could think of
and thought about how i could make a cool psychedelic video
for one of rick bain and the genius position's songs
black apple orchard - i reckon
im going to a wedding this afternoon
im drinking one of the beers now
i actually had two weddings today
i sent ian my best wishes
he understood that i couldn't make it to his wedding
i sent him a text
and he would have approved me buying the new tim rogers album on his wedding day
and also selling some stuff to doug at dixons
ian's a cool guy
i probably see him once a year
if that
i've probably only seen him 5 or 6 times in my life to be honest
we met at a robyn hitchcock gig in richmond
and kept in touch since then
sending messages to each other
mostly consisting of our love for whatever music we're digging at the moment
he got me into the soft boys
i was all into hitchcock's solo stuff
but anyway
im going to sink a couple more beers
brush my hair and put on a suit
the wedding should be fun
they always are
they're a trip
after that i got no real plans
i'll just lounge around tomorrow
sip on some beers
listen to the new time rogers album
fall asleep here and there
maybe make a video if i can think of something cool
take care
i hope you're well
i hope you're happy
i hope you're doing whatever you want to do
i hope you've found a way to get through
whatever works
that's my new mantra
whatever works
and push on
