Be Fruitful / April 21 2008
Five blueberry smoothies – that’s the best way of curing a hangover; the best one I have so far discovered, anyway. Add a little vodka to each one and within twenty minutes you’ll be feeling marvellous.
I tried working in the studio, playing guitar on some of the new Nelson Galaxy stuff, but I could not properly coordinate any of my appendages. I caught sight of myself in the mirror behind the mixing desk and I looked like a sweaty octopus trying to unhook a bra.
We used to have a fellow in the band that played guitar with his knees, so I tried adopting this method for a while but couldn’t manage it at all. The augmented-fifth chords are the trickiest to pull off when playing this way.
In the end, I decided to simply get drunk again. The decision was a kick in the knickers to my previous resolve to remain sober for six months but who cares? I’m a punk rocker, me.

Rock and Roll. And blueberries. And Octopi. Nice.

Jo,
You forgot the sweat and anxiety.

Naughty boy, you’ll regret it. Drinking isn’t that rock n roll when you’re having your liver removed and replaced with cheese. Was the guitarist you knee’d guitar player? Ah, genius.

No, it was someone from the Outer Limits.
