Souvenir

I Listened to "Julia's song" on a very old tape coming into work this morning. There is something quite unreal about it and for me it has one of those deep brain links which brings back all sorts of clouded memories - funnily enough like another OMD song - Souvenir. That is absolutely mind blowing in terms of recalling Summers long since past.

I had a dream last night - a poem read by Mr. Ivor Cutler (You must never call him just Ivor). I was actually standing at the racks of CDs in a big record store when I heard this Poem read over the Tannoy by Mr Cutler himself :-

You know when you are standing on the beach
on some Scottish Island
and you are next to Mr Ivor Cutler.
Well, he asks you if you have any money
but you say you never have any.
That is the way of all life.
You never have enough of the things you need.

I suspect that this was the result of watching the first part of "Century of the Self" last night, the bottom line of which is that PR and advertising agents strive to make you buy more of what you want as well as or even instead of what you need - Advertisers have switched from getting you to buy their brands over any others to trying to make you buy lots of irrelevant rubbish; a bit like a lot of the internet really. Well do you actually really need most of what you read here? You certainly don't need this page at all. It is purely entertainment or tryng to be.
