iconoclasm (the serenade is dead)

'... iconoclasm need not be loud and messy.' - john williams

‘(the) slow cancellation of the future’ - raymond williams in border country. 

colin conflict has died. (horsemouth can honestly say he never met him, unlike every chancer trying it on on the door of a benefit). 

above the song they were born to write - an almost perfect piece of anarcho-punk. it captures the sheer doom laden romanticism of the moment - post the miners' strike, post ronnie lee, post pacifism and post CRASS. 

--------------------------------------

we are 3 weeks from the solstice. horsemouth should be coping with a rent rise but he was already paying more than that to shift some arrears so no change for him. this morning a phonecall to check all that out. 

roughly it is costing horsemouth £9.4k a year to keep his room in a shared house in london (and to pay his share of the gas and electric) so really he should hurry up and get shot of it. 

really horsemouth kept it on because initially he thought he was going back there, then he was having fun participating in the various decarbonisation schemes, and finally he thought he could time it nicely with mr. ian moving but it was not to be. 

7.35am and horsemouth is on his laptop. it is rainy day outside. he has just been out to feed the chickens. he has been over to the garage to take the milk over to the fridge there.  he never hears the milkman come.
