ok its just a hypothetical straw-man but still

I don't think REM come close to The Smiths either. Well, in a way they *do* have two things in common. 1) They were the mainstream entry-point for their countries alt.pop and 2) They showed that not everyone from "'round those parts" could be classy and smart. The Smiths proved that post-punk wasn't just angry skinheads yelling "Oi Oi Oi!" and REM showed that not all musicians from down south were beer-swilling redneck Allman Bros-wannabes. And they were sensitive while they did it. The more I think about it, Stipe fills the same niche as Morrissey: Anguished sadsack artist from a small town. A male version of Harriet Wheeler.

I had English neighbours who invited me to their Boxing Day every year, it was the best. The Boxing *does* mean gifts for servants according to Dr Wild, my host, and he was raised in a house that had dozens of the fuckers (his family owned huge stretches of Camberwell, Peckham and Streatham, not to mention most of the houses on their road in Bedford Park).
Our BD party meant new food. They did GOOSE on the 25th ("You shit on my lawn, I'll eat you later, beeyatch!") and we had ham and turkey on the 26th with molto molto banzai trimmings and Xmas pudding, Battenberg cake and some kind of pie. Mmm. Then myself, Nellie (my best home friend from school, now a top civil servant) and her wildly-differing- in-age folks would lapse into food coma while in front of Monty Python.

Jess, you just wanted to get quoted yourself...

from 'I'd like to take you out to a steak dinner' : is this a very common request? i ask because a couple of years ago a man called omar said this to me, which struck me at the time as a very specific invitation. and just now i saw a preview for the latest leonardo di caprio movie in which he makes the same request, verbatim! are both omar and leonardo in fact quoting someone else? what is it about steak? i remember a scene in a book where a small japanese woman devours a very large, very rare, bloody steak without embellishment, and this is considered very sexy. carnal vs. carnivorous knowledge?
