if horsemouth is not hungover he is at least a little jaded.
he's ok he's had a lie in, a cup of coffee, some paracetamol, and a cup of orange juice.
yesterday a visit to howard in sunny east ham. horsemouth took his guitar (howard's old guitar) and has brought it back with him. they started trying to chose tracks for the next album (and to remember how they were played). no more work on that now until the week after next (howard has to go off camping near weymouth).
horsemouth is keen to get a version of jai guru deva OM (a song he has bodged out from fragment of the beatles across the universe) up and running. there are a number of new howard tunes/ fragments which can be stitched together. howard is keen on horsemouth's country waltz version of cheap trick's I want you to want me.
after the practice (at horsemouth's suggestion) they walked up into barking (past the site of the barking folk festival of a few years ago - stick in the wheel, the unthanks etc.). horsemouth's plan was to get the train back up to walthamstow queen's street (and indeed this is what he did later).
howard suggested a pint of beer - neither of the two pubs up by the station looked that promising. sad to relate the wetherspoons seemed the least scary (so horsemouth and howard went in there despite all horsemouth's high sounding rhetoric about avoiding the spoons in future).
in there the usual collapse of their will to resist the beer took place.
there may have been some recording of the ambiance.
horsemouth can only hope they will not be unduly punished for their foolishness beyond what he is currently experiencing. these are still pandemic times and while horsemouth feels invulnerable when he has had a few beers he does recognise that this was probably not the smartest move to be making in current times. (hell even visiting east ham is not particularly smart)
horsemouth will have to be extra solitary to make up for it.
next week a secret mission.
