Shoegaze & cobblers.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Please, please forgive me Neil, but I just had a thought on shoegaze, to do with something that happened in my life, and I just wanted to share it. Feel free to pull the plug on this one. There's a school of thought that would say that it certainly merits censorship!

Anyway, here it is : I once went to 'The Sanctuary' night club bit (at the back) and me and my mates all took acid. During the course of the evening, I kind of knew that I needed a shit, so went to the toilets. I then, I think, had a shit, but really wasn't certain that I had, had not, or was actually in the process of - shitting? Anyway, I waited a fair bit of time, then a bouncer knocked on the door asking what I was up to. I said I was just finishing off a shit, but actually had no idea whether I was or wasn't. To cut a long story short(er), I pulled up me bags, walked across the dance floor, and turned around to my mates and asked 'Can you see shit coming out of my jeans'? They answered 'No', all was well with the world.

Anyway, the disco (did I say disco? I meant rave - as in a down with the kids kind of way!),finished and we all went back to one of my mates house's, who happened to have a table with a smoked glass table table top (Yeah, I know, classy, or what?). Most people would have got rid of that table by now (or even by then) but this bloke's as tight as two coats of paint, and boy oh boy, is he going to get his moneys worth out of that table. 

Anyway, there was a fair crew of people around the table and one said 'Look down there. That's where the feet people live. Look at them, you can see them, you can see them'. etc And he was right, in that we all saw the foot people. We watched them wriggle and shuffle around, and we even fed them food. Sandwiches and fruit were thrown down up on them in order to nourish them and keep them alive.

Now, with that in mind, it occurs to me whether the 'foot people', enjoy a genre of music called 'humanheadgaze'?

They do say that there's two sides to every story. The two dimensional people. Did I ever tell you about the two dimensional peoplezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz?

All the besht!

A.  You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all the people all of the time.

B.  Aye! But you are what you drink, and he's a bitter man.

Hello guy,

That was years ago. I don't touch the stuff anymore. I think that my head is too fragile now, to involve myself in that kind of thing.

Hello Gucci Piggy,

I only mentioned the shit thing it because it occurred that night also. I was trying to tell as much of the story as I could remember, at that time.

The above said, I now recall a certain somebody (F to the z) setting up a sound system while we were off our heads, and the following track was played (see below). It's kind of stuck with me since, that track has.

Looks like it’s still having an effect if these posts are anything to go by.

On a deep level that very possibly true. However, the initial post was very much drink fuelled. And man did I suffer most of yesterday as a result. I haven't felt that bad in years.

Apologies if the content offended anyone.

It has just occurred to me that maybe the shoe people don't actually look up at humans and gaze at them at all. That may be a bit presumptive and arrogant. Maybe they are looking up at the stars above us, and stargazing. Who could blame them?

[slash's hat]

I imagine the shoe people will be looking down, deep into their souls/soles.

 

(Sorry)

Excellent. Nice one slash's hat.  

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

 

Those poor, poor shoe people. To be walked upon. kicked around, and laced up on the one side,  must be truly horrific. To be occasionally pushed in to wet dog poo, to not have control over your own destiny etc etc must be beyond the scope of human comprehension, surely?

You're being persecuted for your ruining of this forum via non-stop posting of inane trash. What is the point in a thread called 'Shoegaze' where the OP says nothing but "is a fucking boring genre"? Who on earth wants to waste their time reading that?

I can't remember the last time you made a remotely valuable contribution to this website and I'm honestly not sure why you haven't been banned yet. I for one know I'd be more likely to read the forum if I knew I wouldn't be greeted by some stupid post from you when I log on.

Either grow up or stop posting here.
