here's why this record rocks. first of all major british nostalgia for me. like you listen, you can feel like a carefree kid walkin round england. thats what essentially i want to be. i mean how awesome would it be to just be roaming around england playing music and just chilling out and stuff. doherty shows us all how to do it. like the laid back delivery, yet poetic, i mean so laid back that he allows himself to intellectualize, the music thats just good to the core, cheery and generally upbeat, and i dont see whats so terrible about the guy honestly. people like to say he's like the devil incarnate, pointing to his drug use but honestly the work he does in his albums are so great that its just a refreshing offering especially when sharing space with that tight assed shit you often see being offered, in fact its a refreshing heterosexual offering of music, in an industry thats homo-centric in my eyes. nice to see a regular joe whose got a sunny disposition who just wants to rock out, and just go for walks watching the wind in the trees. thats kinda the disjointed, not quite belonging and kinda airey mysterious layabout that just has so much appeal to so many people. doherty rocks, and so does his music. its just clear. enjoy this shit. because its rarifiedly good.

major british nostalgia

i used to live in england, from the years 1986 to 1992, and from 1993 to 1995. im actually halfway down to visiting a friend whose vacationing in florida with his mum dad sister and brother. my mom dad and sister just got done visiting them and are mostly flown back. i have actually visited since i moved, i had a chance to se the house my father paid to have built. well my father and mother. and i remember playing in the sawdust. i just had fun with the little toy car in the sawdust. and then to see it falling to ruin was just hard on my 17 year old eyes. i had lived there many years, enjoyed it, and had always thought i'd be coming back, but really i never did. that was harsh for me, because in 1993 we did actually return, making me think the time in england was just a harsh blemish of a memory that wouldnt come back agani, and then when we did move back in 1995 it was like... i expected to go back home eventually, but i never did. so it was like, crazy stuff. so yeah. im sitting here now 23, having spent far too long in this place, just wanting to go back to what is essentially my home. i just need a method to go, and now that i have a girlfriend i need a way for her to go too. but its largely because of her that i could really see myself there, with her. its due to her that this is becoming possible.

i used to be this kid. in 2007 and early 2008 i took numerous trips over to england a did just that, roamed aruond on my own ,on the streets, taking pictures, taking in the sights, teh scenery, and just generally enjoying myself, whilst taking around an acuostic, playing songs, and just enjoying feeling free and at home. thats essentially what lifes like back there. i did this, then i came back and decided i wanted to give college another try. in 08 fall i went to OSU and came home with a girl, something much better. so im now sitting here in virginia on the way to florida to visit sammy from blackburn and i wonder maybe i should give this doherty layabout british wanderer gig a try. because never has it seemed so alluring as now. with anita by my side things seem possible and maybe ill get to actually do this after being kept from it for so long. maybe ill finally get to be back home where i belong. because without it, im just a half person. i need to get back so i can live free, who gives a shit about racism, its always there, just avoid the bad bits, and do your thing. its possble to live there without getting murdered instantly. and for those who say stay, fuck that, you werent robbed from your cradle, you have no concept as to what this shits like. shove it up yer arse.

how awesome would it be to just be roaming around england playing music and just chilling out

very. i mean having my band out there, doing my thing, just being me, doing my art, maybe trying a degree, whatever i needed, i mean, thats what i want anyway, and then trying it out, seeing what i could do out there, the lands great, and i need to return to my home. its high time and im completely due. so nothing else really mattrs. so thats what im gonna do. im gonna go voer there and just say fuck it to here hah, because this's jsut a fuckig trip that's been shit a fuck, never enjoyed sightseeing anyway heh, and im just a fucking tourist here, time to go the fuck home. fuck yeah ;p. have some fish and chips and just walk down the country lane w/ an acoustic guitar. hah and yeah, for sure, teh best hting i picked up from OSU 08 was girlfriend he, way better than some crappy degree :P. so yeah. but anyway ive got a chick squeezing me so its time to go:P.
