on a ragga tip

ring ring 7am (but no alarm clock).

and horsemouth is up strangely early. 

he had a dream about the national rave museum located in modern accommodation. he was visiting it for the second time when on a ragga tip by SL2 came on. horsemouth dashes in determined to rave it up and at that moment sees jonny and denise and dave etc. all getting up to dance. (celebration ensues). 

yesterday childminding (mind that child). his charge developed a tummy ache and threw up (that was a little concerning but horsemouth could detect no sign of fever and having thrown up the child cheered up). other than that all went well. curiously the weather, having started foggy and overcast, cleared up into a beautiful warm and bright day. 

last night on tv (but sadly on a channel horsemouth cannot access) the poly styrene documentary I am a cliche.  there's a bit where poly gets a skinhead before the rock against racism festival in victoria park in 78 and this is usually taken to be an indication of her mental instability but horsemouth thinks this is just GENIUS. she subsumes and incorporates the racist skinhead enemy at the level of fashion (she makes the THEM me). he saw it together with white riot (a film about rock against racism and the festival) in hereford where it was put on by his friend richard wildhare. 

a friend (who grew up in hackney) went to the festival. 

everett morton the drummer of the beat has died. horsemouth finds just about everything they ever did awesome. it was the kind of band where a pop song as irrepressible as best friend can be put on the back burner. 

all of these tracks show genius as horsemouth sees it. 

grey day outside. horsemouth got up in darkness but now there's obviously light leaking onto the face of the planet from somewhere. 

back in 2014 horsemouth would regularly spend his time on public transport desecrating a copy of the stock-pickers' freesheet city am with the various pens he needed for work. torygraph columnist allistair heath was their class act and every day in his column he would proclaim the genius of unfettered free-market capitalism (this, after the financial crash of 2008, struck horsemouth as a hard thing to sell). in this particular 'desecration' horsemouth has rendered allistair as the grim reaper  and with the byline of Allis death. 

er. today? horsemouth does not know. probably a walk around. no significant anniversaries to be contended with.
