I just heard Arrested Development’s Mr Wendal and realised that the lyric is

Mr Wendal,  a man, a human in flesh

But not by law.

I always thought it was

Mr Wendal, a man, a human in flesh

But not for long,

like Mr Wendal was about to die because he was old and living on the street.

I think I prefer the actual lyric.

HEY! Get-get-get-get-get over it.

OK Go

Hearing this song for the first time in maybe five years just made me incredibly happy.

To begin with, I thought it was a TV On The Radio song, because of the handclaps (but I can’t think of which song off the top of my head), so there may be a shock factor in there as well.

Listening to The Clash’s first abum (Complete Control is playing at the moment) reminds me of playing Driver on the PlayStation during my second year at university.

I don’t know why.  As far as I know, it wasn’t an album I listened to especially at the time.  No more than I still do anyway.

But goddamn, Driver was an awesome game.

Make the pipecleaner doll dance.

I’ve been grinning like a loon for the last 30 minutes because of this.

It’s like a gang war between the people who shout, the people who hear, the people who talk and the people who listen.

“Please call Stella…”

Here is my reading of the script for The Speech Accent Archive, which has fascinated me for most of the night.

“Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.”

I say “…brother Bob…” kind of strangely but, other than that, I think this pretty much sounds like me. Apart from how hearing yourself speak is kind of weird.

It’s only one second of audio.

I just made my favourite part of Weezer’s Pork And Beans the message alert on my phone.  I’ll probably have changed it back to ‘blip’ by 5pm tomorrow, but I think it’s important to have projects…
