Meme with his version of the Progblog pantheon:
K-Punk: King Crimson (mucho erudition around a solid rhythmic base. But any more Dr fucking Who and you're The Enid, got it?)
The Enid it is then... :-)
Kodwo Eshun = Yes fan
Worse than that, he likes Roger Dean ...
Uh-oh, so does someone else .

If Arnold becomes governer of California JG Ballard is forever redundant, if he's not already.
Do Bloggers go to the fair? There's a fair in Stamford Hill if anyone fancies it. Excellent!
Anyway, I'll be on the Waltzers, alone, going round and round and round and round and round and round
then sitting down and stuffing candly floss like a big pink pig.

Posted by: JD at October 8, 2003 02:00 PMYou'll get no Roger Dean respect here, I'm afraid. I mean you can rehabilitate some things, but fuck, I draw the line there....
Oliver, looks like you haven't, after all, escaped the Progging... Never mind becoming _like_ a pink pig, what you need to join the prog gang is a giant _inflatable_ pig....
