all of you longtime Sloannetters may remember me raving about that mumbling being a ripoff of this wierd spoken-word bit on a Change of Heart record. Well, it is - exactly! Check out "There, You've Gone" on _Smile_ for a better listen. it goes a little something like this (off the top'o my head): "he was in this Swiss hospital, and he felt totally misunderstood... I spoke French, so he was talking to me. He said, "you have to help me, you have to get me out of here. This is a mistake, this is a whole fuckin' mistake! You see, I'm a businessman... These bastards, these fascists are keeping me here!... They're putting something in my food. I used to be a swimmer, and swim miles every day; now I can't even walk. I can't fuck anymore! These bastards are putting something in my food...." etc. etc. etc. the original source, according to the mighty Ian Blurton, was a story on some audiotape 'zine that he got sometime in the mid-eighties. when I interviewed him a few weeks ago, he was very surprised to hear about this. He said that _Twice Removed_ was *one of his favorite records* (!), but he hadn't noticed that! cool, eh? well, that's all for now. later, everybody. sorry to bore you. :) the change-of-heart-obsessed-and-pissed-that-he-couldn't-see-them-last-night-but-happy-to-be-seeing-hhead-tonight-and-always-sloan-obsessed-and-too-lazy-to-use-capitals-and-IN-NEED-OF-SOME-SLEEP-TONIGHT-alex. buhbye. P.S. hey, tdc - i'll write you soon.
