about
Christmas '84, I’m a 5 am rising postiman in a yellow pacamac and long hair (I get whistled at by workmen who think I’m a girl). Listening to my Lloytron walkman, toa cassette I taped off my record of Live 1969 on my headphones. The guitars are divine poetry in the pre-dawn light of Leith as the ancient whiff of the Holyrood brewery percolates in my nostrils. I’m interested in the synaesthesia of listening to that pared down music at that pared-down hour, both of them invested with a patina of sin – the dirty lyrics of Some Kinda Love, the shack ups suggested by the temporary nameplates on the storm doors. I listen to a song called Ocean which seems to understand the law of waves.Even when the pre-Christmas rain is lashing, Lou Reed and his band are my storm lantern, my violet hour, all the way from Texas.
lyrics
I’m a Christmas postie, it’s a temporary thing
Yellow pacamac and long hair – I make the workmen sing
Playing Live 1969 on my Lloytron walkman
Guitars divine
Pre-dawn light, Leith stairwells
And the Holyrood Brewery with its ancient smells
of New Year’s Day and Ne’er-do-wells
History harnessed a random harvest to fling us together this way
If you got luck, it’s pot luck, dances with chances
That’s what I heard Lisa say
Letterboxes talk of cohabitations
Sterl and Lou make street corner donations
By slicing skin off the apple of temptation
Unpeeling the banana
Life is a lottery, we are just pottery
Jane is ceramic, I’m made out of clay
Names out the hat flung this way and that
That’s what I heard Stephanie say
Candy says…
Later, a party, fall asleep in my coat
Dreaming of the Staten Island Ferryboat
My host unlocks his bootleg box
In the morning antiquity reels and rocks
History harnessed a random harvest to fling us together this way
If you got luck, it’s pot luck, dances with chances
Come a little closer, hear Caroline say….

Most of these songs were available on the 1995 "Yes darling, but is it Art?" CD release. I'm assuming the masters are gone, which is fine if you do a good transfer from the original records. When I saw these were remastered, I was looking forward to some light de-clicking and removal of rumble from the original transfers. This isn't the case. Instead they added some weird super loud "tape hiss" for lack of a better term, and it makes it sound harsh. Very disappointed in the "remastering". numanoid1979
