No, not blogging about LUGs (lesbians until graduation), but blogging using lyrics by the musical act The Smiths. This is what our friends over at Armavirumque are doing today. Or at least are doing once. You will recall that we here at the Misspent Life and our friend over at Inklings were Smith blogging way back.
Smithsblogging is a danger to society. Stop before it's too late!

Danger to society? I wish it were so, my dear man. Society pays me absolutely no mind. It's all too, too shymaking.

So tell me, King Taylor, will you be singing some of The Smith's big hits tomorrow night? Please, Inquiring Minds need to know.
Posted by: Inquiring Minds | 16 May 2006 at 05:22
People tell me the Smiths never had any big hits. Myself, I wouldn't know. I don't listen to whiney 80's alternapop.

Misspent, Why don't you invite Katherine to Door County. No phones and all. A perfect place to cry on your shoulder and get it all out of her system after she's eliminated from the competition Wednesday night.

I have evey confidence that your sojourn in Berlin will provide you with an opportunity to file a post with the headline: "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now."

Are you sure I didn't already write a song called "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now"? I think I did. I mean, I can't tell them apart--you think you can't tell them apart? let me tell you, you can't even begin to know how hard it is to tell them apart when you wrote them all--but really, I'm pretty sure I already wrote that song. If not by name, then certainly by contents about a thousand times over.

Too bad Berlin isn't divided by The Wall the way it used to be. Much more opportunity for angst. And for the inner commie to come up against the inner Nazi.
And now a report from our man in Berlin...Herr Misschpent.

They tore the Wall down but der Mauer is still there. It's all internalized and existential now, like a David Bowie album produced by Brian Eno. Not that any of you dweebs would know about this--Misspent excepted, of course.

I can't believe I used the word "dweeb"--my Manchester gayboy cred is seriously in danger now. You people, you nasty people, it's ALL YOUR FAULT.
Posted by: Morrissey | 16 May 2006 at 06:28
By the way, tell me more about these Lesbians Until Graduation. I'm intrigued.
Posted by: Morrissey | 16 May 2006 at 06:31
KT, you haven't answered the question. What are you singing tomorrow night? Is there a theme? I bet Misspent knows. Where is Misspent?
Posted by: Anon | 16 May 2006 at 06:33
How do I know what I'm singing tomorrow night? I'm not psychic. I'll wait until 8 PM to find out, like everybody else in America.
Posted by: King Taylor | 16 May 2006 at 06:35
OK, so I'm waiting for this magnum ingenium. Where is it? I see mixtura dementiae all over the place, but no magnum ingenium.

I've been reading newspapers and watching the tube for a week. So, which is it...
Chris Daughtry got voted off American Idol because...
1) Voting fraud arranged by AT&T.
2) Simon was in a bad mood.
3) He's bald.
4) He's an illegal immigrant.
5) He's a terrorist.
6) All his singing was dubbed.
7) He's actually Paula's husband.
8) Misspent paid Randy to get rid of him because he can't stand the thought of that ass beating Katherine.
9) People can no longer resist the allure of King Taylor.
10) It's that bohunk chain hanging out of his back pocket. Real cool if you ride a motorbike and live in a trailer park. Otherwise...well, hit the road.

I've got your magnum ingenium right here.
Posted by: Misspent | 16 May 2006 at 09:35
Oh, wait. I guess I don't, that was your whole point.
