Cobain was friends with a homosexual student at his high school, sometimes suffering bullying from homophobic students who concluded that Cobain was gay. In a 1993 interview with The Advocate, Cobain claimed that he was "gay in spirit" and "probably could be bisexual." He also stated that he used to spray paint "God Is Gay" on pickup trucks around Aberdeen. However, Aberdeen police records show that the phrase for which he was arrested was actually "Ain't got no how watchamacallit."

On the side of the road there was dead duck in the grass. Its head was back and there was a hole in its side and it had shat its guts. Intestines strung out its

I knelt down at its side and tried to give it some kind of rites or ashes to ashes which was a stupid thing to do.

this old world keeps spinnin round, its a wonder tall trees ain't layin down

a while ago (Not so long ago) I was going to buy joy division second (and last) record, CLOSER. and it was on trademe and i wanted and wanted it. So when the time came to bid I was in this wee battle of the sexes with some faggy shee and then my Fokking computer smashed on the rocks and the screen went mental everything multiplied for one whole minute til the auction was closed. Then the computer came out of its spasm and the mouse was sitting floating over some ad at the top of the screen saying "Find Someone" it was like a slap to the face


I thought it was funny that a joy division record could make me feel sad without even having listened to it. yeah thats funny because Joy division are notoriously morbid and bleak and depressing. but i went to penny lane and they had the album there. And of course i never should have doubted my old friend penny lane because it was cheaper than the copy on trademe.



Ibought it but i got pissed off again because my favourite song on Closer, Isolation (mother i tried please believe me // im doing the best that i can // im ashamed of things ive been put through // im ashamed of the person i am) had a massive scritch scratch through it and it just jumps the whole fuking song. nahhh we're Cool, Man


I fell in love with an old japanese guitar on trademe
I'm gonna buy it and change the Wooooooooorlds
I'm a singer im a dancer im a poet im a kitten

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night

I was watching stuff I taped off tv a while ago since it's the holidays.

There was that episode of the Mighty Boosh when they're on that island. The day after I recorded that (I think) was the day Andrew and I got lost out in fucking darfield looking for sam's house. I think that's right because we kept doing lines from it especially "Milky, you son of a bitch!" So that was crazy thinking what shit was going on when I taped it.

Then there was that heavy metal documentary I taped off of C4 like a year and a half ago. I remember because they were all talking bout Satan and shit and my dad got pissed off. And after I watched it for the first time I couldn't get that little devil's interval out of my head from that song black sabbath by black sabbath. And so I thought "I've fucking gotta get that album" so my parents dropped me and my sister off at penny lane and I had $15 in my pocket I went straight to black sabbath and the album was there for $15 so I bought it straight away.

Then We left and we were walking down the road and I saw my parents at the traffic lights, and I didn't want them to know I got an album because then dad would be like fuck off you devil you and burn my record like he did to his. So, I went and hid in this garage which was really surreal and there were these mats lying out covered in perfectly arranged plastic buddhas and they were for sale and there was this old guy who looked like colonel sanders in a hawaiian shirt buying shitloads of them. and my parent drove off.

So my sister and I kept walking and over the bridge while I read all the satanic poetry that is printed inside the gatefold inside a big black inverted cross. God it was all too good. and then I realised that metallica's rob trujillo looks like sharlyn. Hahahahaha!

I got called a motherfucker by a stranger on an internet forum. and I just don't know how to feel, I tried thinking well, what a no life wanker he's probably a dickhead what do I care what he thinks, but I couldn't help feeling really bad. Words = Power. I saw a shite film on rialto channel about ewan macgregor and colin farrell buying a boat and naming it after his lucky dog at the races. But they were supposed to be brothers but he's scottish and he's irish , so ewan macgregor talked and sounded like jason gunn the whole timme and i started thinking that colin farrell looked like bob rasmusen..

Then I saw patti smith : dream of life which is a film about patti smith but NOT in the vein of other films such as 7 ages of ROCK: PUNK who name drop and flish flash. and I liked the way Rimbaud used the word "piss" it was so awesome when she was indicting george bush and she is like my favourite person right now. Patti smith, REM, cat power (I bought her cd You Are Free from galaxy records the other day then I got home and in the post was my rufus wainwright release the starts cd that I bought on ebay and I was like jeeeeesus so I promised myself to listen to cat power's fair share and leave rufus wrapped up till cat was dry. and a week later CAT IS NOT YET DRY! I like the cover it says "You Are Cat Power Free" and each word's in different colours) I also like charles manson's music (Especially "Look at your game girl") he has a pretty voice and was buddies with one of the beach boys (mike love?) Then he became famous for something much more suddenly<><><><><><><><>

What's wrong with pearl jam? I don't know! HAHAHAHA Miiiiiilky ya son of a bitch. Fuck! What ya doin'? you intellectuals, when you go, you really go" "From the moment i saw him i knew he was a killeur" "YOU Garlic Twit!!!" My wife loves him! A little too much if you know what I mean! Milky joe and the CO-CO NUTS"

Cassius by foals // six pack by black flag // the one i love by rem // new rose by the damned // heart of glass by blondie // pink frost by the chills // teenage kicks by the undertones // redondo beach by patti smith // werewolf by cat power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I wrote a poem about gay

"God is holy-I am not
"mmmm mmmm
"he's so hot
"God is great
"I saw him on tv
"mmmm mmmm
"he's so dreamy

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I wrote another poem in the shower a while ago and i finally got it right -- it's about my special place ----


I walk in the field
under the sky
where all the birds go flying by
in flocks of twelve or twenty-five
or thirty

There is a stream that flows, divides
the big side from the little side
you can jump
it's not that wide
just dirty

Beneath the bridge
there is no rain
I'd like to sleep like kurt cobain
and all the other souls in pain
who told dead lies for no one's gain
before me

I'm saint francis of the suburban wasteland
and all the ducks
adore me

****
I was in the car the other night and we drove past this party bus in the other lane and there was this girl amidst all these other people parading about she was just staring out the window with her hands under her chin and she smiled at me as we drove past then there was this guy dressed up like some kind of dirty mexican with a sombrero and a big black fake moustache waving at me*******two step

I'm going to watch bluebirds fly Over my shoulder











Many thanks to bebo, I found out one of my childhood best friends is now a skinhead white supremacist (who is also having girl troubles). I just remembered about him when I used him to write the first chapter of my novel. I initially just wanted to record my memories before I forget them, then it turned into a poem (one of those modern kind of poems "Gasoline rainbows and the...... " you know the ones) but a poem like that can become prose if you just stop starting new lines all the time. And anyway ??? My novel, which is called Teenage Clump, is about a boy.

It's so funny that when I sleep with my blankets arranged orderly, my dreams have such blatant symbolism. It's impossible to ignore. They say so much about my life my love my sexuality my loss of faith that I couldn't put it in words myself I'm learning about myself and how I feel because I don't actually know, my subconcious does. Some dreams are so painful to me when I try dredging them back up in the morning. And some are so lovely I wish I could have them again. Some remind me of people I've forgotten about and sometimes I wish I could make myself dream about someone but then someone else might stay forgotten. I wish I had them all on tape in my wardrobe. I can't wait to see Die!Die!Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Routine Bites Hard..................




I was at that thing the other night and at the end they made us all sing the national anthem but with all the verses. So after four verses I was still singing but my mind was wandering. And when I was meant to sing "Make us faithful unto thee" I sang "Make us faithless unto thee". It's not like I was singing loud or anything, but I got such a fright.

From "Giant"

From an Englishman's point of view,its mere size takes your breath away.
Yes, it's big all right.
How large are your ranches?
Most every size. Large and small.
Mr. Benedict's Reata is one of the largest of them all.
Oh, really?
And just how large is that?
lt's one of the biggest.
How big is that?
There are one or two others as big, l suppose, up where we come from...
and some larger oneson the coastal plains.
Can't you be more specific?
What's the size of your place? acres?
Around a half million. acres, to be exact.
l'd call that quite a parcel!
How many acres did you say,Mr. Benedict?
He said acres, Mama.
And you should see the greedy lookon your face.
Witness excused.
Won't you join us at the Hunt Ball?l'm sure you'll enjoy it.
No, thank you, Miss Leslie.
l'm afraid l wouldn't look goodin this outfit.
l like your country.
Why don't you stay a whileand really see something of it?
lt's roundup time in my country.Big spring roundup.
Your country?
Reata.
Your country, my country.You make us sound so far apart.
Maybe you could come out and see it...
if you get a chance.
l'll be off real early in the morning, so...
goodbye.

Sour Times by Portishead

Kissability




I like listening to music, and for some reason I feel like I have to tell you all about it, I can't keep it in my own hand for too long without wanting to share it with you.


Here's a few songs I'd love for you to love with me:



Evolution by Cat Power
She's just so beautiful and sparse

Teenage Riot by Sonic Youth
It's the most unusual melody and works

Monsterpussy by The Vaselines
So innocent and hooky and non-rhyming

Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk by Rufus Wainwright
I just think he's so beautiful and jellybeans

Say Hello to....... My New Favourite Band!!!!!!!!!











A long time ago (less than a year) I used to keep a little list of cool songs I heard on AltTV, because there were a lot, a lot of bands you'd never heard of who fucking rocked. One day I saw the video for the song "Last Day of Magic" by a band called "The Kills". The song was great and the video was, too. They played this a lot and I never tired of it. Earlier this year, they started playing another song by them which was equally brilliant.








Then AltTV died :(








I started listening to The Kills (and other bands I missed from AltTV) on MySpace. It turned out The Kills had lots of good songs. And Praise God, Galaxy Records moved in very close to Real Groovy. So after looking through real groovy, feeling a little disappointed, I bopped over to Galaxy Records. It seemed they had every album I was looking for. Expensive, though, in my books, I decided that to get what I wanted I had fork out. I could go on buying Beatles records and Cat Stevens records from the Penny Lane $4 bins, but I was feeling increasingly empty with these. So, I bought the Kills album "Midnight Boom". It was $33 Fucking $$ AND it was a CD.








I got home and played it, despite my shitkicker CD player's occassional/frequent skipping. The album was goddamned genius, I loved it. And I listened to it over and over, then googled the kills. Reading/watching interviews and articles on the band I was amazed by all the things we shared. They started talking about Edie Sedgwick, who made her life a work of art, and Andy Warhol's Factory and The Velvet Underground. I was so hot for this band. THEN I found out that the title of the Cd "Midnight Boom" came from a line in a Jack Kerouac book. I creamed.








So there you go, my new favourite band, The Kills.

Last night I saw The Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman. It's a film about a Swedish (it's in Swedish) knight returning from the crusades in the midst of the Black Death. He challenges Death to a game of chess, so he can put off dying until he sees his wife again. The film had been lurking about in my mental list of films I want to see. So when we went to Alice's this weekend, I headed straight for it, so as not to be distracted by another film that could jump out at me during the long journey and the battle of will power to get to the 100 Greatest Films on the far wall. I picked up the Dvd and flipped it over in my hand. It said on the back that it was only an hour and a half long, which laid all my fears of a big boring epic movie to rest. It would've been easier to pick up a nice, slick, colour, English language, slightly arty new release, but I persevered and reaped its benefits. The film was aesthetically beautiful, thought-provoking, and nonetheless entertaining. Also, being a revered film, having seen it opens up possibilities of intellectual discussion should I ever meet someone who has seen it. Despite being a very serious film, I laughed as much as I would have laughed at any Ben Stiller film, because the Swedish language often sounds like when you play English backwards.

I thought I'd get personal, but not too personal


It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

But is it better to never have loved at all than it is to put yourself out there, only to be blatantly rejected, and as a result can never find the courage to love again, and everyone knows about it, and you can never talk to them ever again, and you know they don't love you.

The world is too much with us










Something I love doing is going through strangers' bebo pages. For the best results I search something like "andy warhol" or "ingmar bergman" and you find some fan clubs. Open the fans' pages in new tabs and their friends and so on. Don't these people look fun? I know I don't.

I remember I was told that every good deed I did went to building my house in heaven. I don't know whether I'm reading it wrong, but I didn't think anyone was supposed to be better than anyone else in heaven. I thought it was like a big communist state with a leader incapable of greed.

Now wasn't last post shit? and the one before that?

Hum... you should read Seonbu's blog, because it seems no-one else is aware the poor boy is back in bloggy business. http://hideousecstasy.blogspot.com/
And... Blair... I was going to comment on your blog but I thought you wouldn't notice it, because you hadn't posted since I last commented. Well what I was going to say to you and everyone was that ah... Since you made your blog show all of your posts throughout history, I noticed that you'd written a lot that I'd forgotten about. A lot of good. And I remembered that a lot of people commented. Well not a whole lot. But most posts had comments. And I didn't think I was invading some sort of privacy by making a comment a post instead. Wouldn't you all have read it anyway?

Ah... recently I've been "getting into" a lot of... Rephrase that: A lot of old music has been jumping out at me. And I don't mean the Beatles. We all know my bands, you know the ones I talk about that you don't give a shit about. But I'm not talking about them. To put it simply is to say it's not rock'n'roll in anyway.
I'm really enjoying:
Nowhere to Run by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
Super star by The Carpenters
Needles and Pins by The Searchers
The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Give Him a Great Big Kiss by The Shangri-Las

Fuck rebellion and anti-establishment.
Fuck kick out the jams
Fuck fuck Nixon
Fuck anti-art
Fuck punk
Fuck Suicide




I just like a nice melody
a nice chorus
some love, some breakups
more love
some black ladies
some white ladies

ps. I still like Andy Warhol

Jonathon

Recalling last night's wisdom
with such clarity it seems
Lain on my back
I marvel at
The purity of dreams.
Untouched by human hand and weight
And by all eyes unseen
I think aback
With hindsight at
The places I've not been.

To: My benign foetus Regarding: The priest, lack of food

Here's some common ground: I just got my NCEA results back. Well I passed. I got merit for my art panels. Is Siobhan there? what did you get? But English was a miserable result, considering I thought it was my best subject. I got two merits, like four achieveds, and two not achieveds. Which was disappointing. In fact, I think I did better in maths. Mrs Craven made maths difficult and somewhat boring, but I found her to be quite intelligent after engaging her in a philosophical discussion. And Mr Ruge I liked, but couldn't get myself to listen to him unless he was talking about Alfred Lord Tennyson or blurting every little trivial piece of information he knew about Timmy Leary, the sixties, or A Clockwork Orange in order to impress some of our lady pupils. I don't know if they realized he wasn't old enough to actually know what was going on. Taking part in class discussion, or generally being pounced on, was another story altogether.

But HEY! An enjoyable supermarket experience cleared my airways. Try: Sweet young thing genuinely interested in my personal enjoyment of the menial task of shopping, who passes change by hand just because she knows you want to touch her hand. And was obviously pleased with a response to "How are you?" that made perfect sense in English. Not "Good, yourself?" because I was informed by an intelligent person that "No, you are not GOOD, you are FINE".

I saw Dracula with Bela Lugosi and then the Spanish version of the same film which was made as a way around doing Spanish subtitles. The spanish version, however more aesthetically pleasing, was let down by their Dracula's round face making evil expressions comical. Bela was amazing.

I know we "Catcher in the Rye" enthusiasts are snobbish bastards, but assuming someone knows what I'm saying: I've read about all that Mark Chapman-John Lennon-Catcher in the Rye stuff, but I've never heard mention of what to me was the most obvious connection. John Lennon and Mark Chapman both married a Japanese woman, and Mark didn't do it because of John Lennon, he married her before his 'obsession' began. And in the novel, Holden meets up with an old friend called Carl Luce. Luce says he's seeing an 'eastern' woman because he's more satisfied with the 'eastern' way of life. Holden agrees, after annoying Luce by talking about sex too much. Cold beer, asian women?
