April 19: Jeanette Winterson, The Agony of Intimacy
I don't have this on on vinyl, so I'm going digital. All four songs of the EP fit with the quote, especially the title track.
- “‘It’s funny.’ She said, a short Scotch cupped in her long fingers, ‘how we live in no-fault culture that is also a blame culture. My experience is that the no-fault applies to the men, and the blame applies to the women. But you can’t say that post-feminism. And maybe I am just bitter.’”

I'll follow @TenderLovingKiller® 's lead and go with something 4/20 related based on the sativa line here.
One Draw from Rita Marley's Who Feels it Knows it
Hey, rastaman, hey, what you say?
Give me some of your senses
So long I have been searching for a taste
Looking all over the place
Not a thing could I find
To satisfy my mind
So I came to search for the I
To see what the I could do
And just like I said
You send it straight to my head
(I wanna feel high) So, so high
(So high) High, high
(I wanna feel high) I wanna feel high
(So high) So, so high
(Want draw) I want more draw now
(Want draw) Want draw

Streamed a few of the albums and decided to place an order with New West records. I really should not ask these questions.

“Downstairs, Meatball Mulligan’s lease-breaking* party was moving into its 40th hour. On the kitchen floor, amid a litter of empty champagne fifths, were Sandor Rojas and three friends, playing spit in the ocean* and staying awake on Heidseck and benzedrine* pills. In the living room Duke, Vincent, Krinkles and Paco sat crouched over a 15-inch speaker which had been bolted into the top of a wastepaper basket, listening to 27 watts’ worth of The Heroes’ Gate at Kiev*. They all wore hornrimmed sunglasses and rapt expressions, and smoked funny-looking cigarettes which contained not, as you might expect, tobacco, but an adulterated form of cannabis sativa*. This group was the Duke di Angelis quartet. They recorded for a local label called Tambú and had to their credit one 10" LP entitled Songs of Outer Space*.”
Meatball Mulligan's party reminds me of some 4/20 parties I attended over the many years I lived in Boulder. Lots of slum lord style apartments where my filthiest college friends lived with sketchy roommates and would throw big to dos. Memories of doing knife hits of hash and gravity bongs in the kitchen sink while listening to tunes on their blown out speakers under the purple glow of their grow lights while talking about other times we'd gotten high. Everything felt simpler and yet also way more complex. I hope other kids are doing that tonight in one of those old dumps back in Boulder, but with legal weed they probably don't have as much fun and anxiety planning as we did.
Anyway, figure some space age stoner rock fits the bill with a couple connections to Pynchon's Entropy.
Black Space Riders
- Amoretum, Vol 1
If I don't get too tired I might try and spin Vol 2 too.

Better watch out for the skin deep...
The Stranglers - Aural Sculpture
- “Donald Dundun showed me how to roll a cigarette. Dundun came from the trailer courts, and I was middle class gone crazy, but we passed the time together freely because we both had long hair and chased after any kind of intoxicating substance. Dundun, only nineteen, already displayed up and down both his arms the tattooed veins of a hope-to-die heroin addict. The same went for B.D., a boy who arrived the week before Christmas. We knew him only as B.D. “My name cannot be pronounced, it can only be spelled.” That was his dodge. I, on the other hand, didn’t know the meaning of my own handle, Dink. Some grouchy, puffy-eyed prisoner would walk by, look at me, and say, “Dink.””

I got Dirty South, Decoration Day and Brighter Than Creation's Dark. They were all at a good price, doubles and the variants pressed at RTI. I figured what the hell. (They didn't have Southern Rock Opera though).

Turns out that I really like a lot of music about heroin, so this was actually a bit hard to narrow down. But Happiness is a Warm Gun is just such a damn good song that I had to go with the White Album. And I really do love the version from Across the Universe too. What a great movie. I'd love to see some other films done like that.
Pulling out the Anniversary box set for this one tonight.
