Web site settling / no Roundtable review for 26.11 or 03.12 (probably)

I've been trying since the summer to settle my Web site - actually, several of them once hosted at Geocities for many years - and I've finally got it into some shape. well, at least everything that I wanted to move over HAS moved over and I think I've finally resolved the links, finally. so if you want to visit...

theprintedword.newartriot.net

the original idea behind "the printed word" was it had to do with a Morrissey song circa 2004 ("You Are the Quarry" days) called "You Know I Couldn't Last":

The whispering
May hurt you
But the printed word might kill you

The whispering
May hurt you
But the printed word might kill you

So don't let the blue
The blue eyes fool you
They're just gelignite
Loaded and aiming right between your eyes
CDs and T-shirts, promos and God knows
You know I couldn't last
Someone please take me home

The teenagers
Who love you
They will wake up, yawn and kill you

The teenagers
Who love you
They will wake up, yawn and kill you

So don't let the blue
The blue eyes fool you
They're just gelignite
Loaded and aiming right between your eyes
CDs and T-shirts, promos and God knows
You know I couldn't last
Someone please take me home

There's a cash register ringing and
It weighs so heavy on my back
Someone please take me home

The critics who
Can't break you
They somehow help to make you

The critics who
Can't break you
Unwittingly they make you

So don't let the good days
Of the gold discs
Creep up and mug you
With evil legal eagles
You know I couldn't last
Accountants rampant
You know I couldn't last
Every -ist and every -ism
Thrown my way to stay

And the Northern leeches go on
Removing, removing, removing

Then in the end
Your royalties bring you luxuries
Your royalties bring you luxuries
Oh but
The squalor of the mind
The squalor of the mind
The squalor of the mind
The squalor of the mind

♥ you Morrissey.


and b/c it was my birthday yesterday, I took a break from reviewing Lammo's Roundtable and I think it's doubtful that I'll be catching up on it before I leave for Boston next Wednesday. BTW if you haven't been following the story from the beginning, I won't be around for next week's Roundtable either because I will be with the chowdaheads seeing Friendly Fires and the xx and hopefully interviewing the former.

but in my absence, you can participate in a v. cool thing, Steve Lamacq's National Wear Your Old Band T-Shirt To Work Day. I participated last year and my two of my t-shirts are on display on the 6music site here (#11 and #12 are mine). And here's a v. funny photo from the group.
