TTY update 12/09/09: Swords release and tour info

[goinghome]

Great film and superb score.

Phillip Glass's music did seem exactly right for this emotionally-repressed mentally-agitated stylised drama. I've yet to peruse Mishima's doodles. I wonder if his action was any kind of rallying cry for Japan's awakening ultimately, or was he just being vainglorious.

As for Morrissey's new album, pen is to sword as a-side is to b-side: that'll do for me. I'm sure Morrissey is as usual unperturbed about how people want to interpret the title; whether related to sex, violence, verbal persuasion, sport, a town in north county Dublin, or whatever. He might tell us at the Stadium.

(p.s. What's GLAFY?)

Philip Glass' music is always exactly right for everything!

Has Morrissey ever actually BEEN in Swords?!?!? He must have passed by it from the airport and seen the signs. Hmmm...

Here is a nice picture from Swords.

(p.s. What's GLAFY?)

An ancient Irish term of farewell.

Morrissey lived in a couple of different areas in Dublin and I'm sure he knows where Swords is and has passed through. I really doubt it's anything to do with the album name though.

The photograph is glorious. Did you take it? It has the look of a haunted site, somewhere you would probably feel just at home.

GLAFY to you too ('y' words are pretty rare in Gaeilge, you know; I'm confounded...)

I'd be quite astonished if it had!

It is a lovely shot, but I'm afraid I can't take credit. Just the ol' Google image thing. I would love to haunt there, but, as far as I know, I haven't even died.

GLAFY to you too ('y' words are pretty rare in Gaeilge, you know; I'm confounded...)

GLAFY is an acronym coined by a friend of mine. It means "Good Luck And F**k Ye". The kind of begrudging term of endearment we like to use on this strange little island.

And I’ve felt and I’ve been'...

...'And what's left for me'? - Swords!!
