very glad to have a career where nobody minds if i turn up looking like i’ve rolled out of bed wearing a shit metal band’s tshirt. i once wore my mario pyjamas to an edit when i was in germany and it was unbelievably hot and i never heard the end of it though so you know, there are limits.

Which one of you is flea?

definitely me. I’m at least 20% more likely to lay down a groove rock bassline down than Ruffers.

OOh so Ruffers gets to be Peter Stormare

Hahah!!! Whaaaaaat? I’ve worked in creative places where you can wear pretty much what you want as long as you aren’t filthy but your PJs? That’s pretty brilliant.

I just watched the special edition version which is meant to have made it better. But it’s still terrible :frowning:


(ok I’m stopping these now)

it was absolutely sweltering and i was in this horrible sweaty media room, didn’t have any shorts or anything with me and i was like fuck it, these are the thinnest clothes i have. i still sometimes work with the boss of that job and he’s always taking the piss, asking me not to wear my PJs to such and such job. what i can say? it’s a-me, a-mario.

I was listening to the ‘Slow Walkers’ album from a few years back (Liz Harris and Lawrence English collaboration). Along a similar line, I’ve had Basinski’s A Shadow in Time on regular rotation over the last few months (mainly ‘For David Robert Jones’).

Anjou’s most recent album was pretty good, too, if you’ve not heard it. Especially the track ‘An Empty Bank’.

Have you ever shaved your beard and worn dungarees before? I reckon you’d make a v good Mario.

I’ve been watching Dutch telly for about an hour now and haven’t seen a single set of genitals. What a letdown.

MARLON: Do you remember when we went to see Mike and the Mechanics

ROSCOE: Marlon, I remember when we mistakenly went to see Mike and the Machinists and they turned out to be a very different band indeed

MARLON: I thought this was going to be funny but I think the fact there’s not a band called Mike and the Machinists kind of limits the humour, right? Because the reader doesn’t know the dissonance between the two bands’ styles

ROSCOE: Well reader, Mike and the Machinists were a very abrasive-sounding band of the sort I hadn’t prepared myself for, expecting as I was to hear Mike and the Mechanics

MARLON: We’ve been gone a while and I feel like this hasn’t been an adequate return for us

ROSCOE: Hmm. Incidentally, do you remember our old friend BARRY-PRIMSALL?

MARLON: Oh yes, the man who wrote that shit thing about how rap is shit and P!nk is really good and who then became a famous hip-hop rap entertainer and our friend

ROSCOE: Yes. I wonder where he is

DOUGIE-PRIMSALL emerges from the bit of the washing machine where you put the powder in

ROSCOE: Oh my gosh, is that BARRY-PRIMSALL? We haven’t seen him for twenty-five years

MARLON: Do you still love rap music?

DOUGIE-PRIMSALL: … rap music
