He takes oranges and orange scent from a brown paper bag.
'Fifty pence for five. That's not bad. They're big.'
'You're mean, you know that? I've noticed.'
'They're big oranges, look. i'm not mean.'
'You're stingy.'
'Nice, cheap oranges. I am not stingy.'
'You're a stingy, grouchy, old man.'
He was wearing the big coat. The blue one. It smelt of evening weather and the car. I slipped my arms inside it and around his waist. That was something i did a lot.
'You're just after my oranges.'
'That's right.'
a.l.kennedy's collection night geometry and the garscadden train -from the short story "Tea And Biscuits". my brother came across night geometry in his local oxfam, picked it up and put it in an envelope for me. its one of the few a.l.kennedy pieces i don't have, hopefully i'll get given "Now That You're Back" this week, and as for "Looking For the Possible Dance" - i am, looking, that is, so if you see it, let me know.
-other additions to reading pile:
hicksville - dylan horrocks
the man in the maze - robert sivlerberg
the ticket that exploded - william burroughs
the cybergypsies - indra sinha
pilgerman - russel hoban
the medusa frequency - russel hoban
cell auto mata - the devil is in the detail - i gave this cd a first listen last night. which i had mixed feelings for. quite why celluloid mata has been discarded in favour of this collaboration with synapscape member munch (though kniep is present too) i don't understand - side project status like noosa hedz should have served just as well. especially when this is such a departure from celluloid mata. liking both synapscape and celluloid mata i should like cell auto mata. in theory. however the collaboration is more of a retro endeavour, perhaps nodding in the direction of electro clash, but more likely to those electronics which influenced those artists. there are parts of devil in the detail which work well and from a first listen i enjoy. but the more retro aspects, and the inclusion of various vocals at various times leaves me more conflicted. but. its a first listen we will see how it goes from here.
