I’M PROBABLY old enough to know better but I don’t.
I work as a freelance journalist in the north of England and expletive undeleted is (mostly) a collection of reworked longer versions of published interviews and features. It’s mainly music stuff at the moment, but that will probably change over time.
Copyright, apparently, remains with me, so think on.
hip replacement is a stand-alone section of original ‘creative’ writing, focussing on “dusty old records that no one really bought in the first place, and barely anyone remembers or cares about ..”
I might add a few more sections for original stuff at some point but in the meantime, this is it.
There is profanity, there are descriptions of secondhand record shops, some names have been changed to protect the guilty. James Last might make an appearance.
It’s probably not for everyone.

You know Hip Replacement, I wish I had a good record collection, there is a lot of interesting stuff out there.
I was looking at some of the old Chicago House music. With the right speakers and atmosphere they could definitely make a party hop all night.
I was watching a documentary on Chicago house and it was saying how House really caught on in the UK more so than in America. It was mainly started within the black community here and in Detroit. Also Gospel music is from Chicago from what I understand.
Do you have a really impressive record collection?

Yes, I have a fantastically impressive record collection JR.
But we’re moving to a new house soon and it’s a good deal less impressive when you have to carry it up and down three flights of stairs.
Anyway, I have to go and play some of my fantastically impressive record collection at a party now, so I may return to this later ..
Thanks for the comment!

I reworked Chicago Withdrawal to focus on more diverse subject matters.
My new blog is Mind of J.R. The new blog looks the same as the old one for now. I’m looking for a new header design and possibly a better template.
Doesn’t look like I will make it to Europe this summer.

New blog is looking good JR, though I think you should give Franktown more shit .. only joking, you couldn’t possibly give him more shit. I do think you should do more drunk posting though, just as a general rule. Commenting on other people’s blogs drunk is a big speciality of mine. It’s a lot of fun.
Godammit JR, you’re not coming over to Europe this summer? Fuck! I will have to let all my mates know that the guy from the internet will not now be available for child-minding duties. I’m sure they will be very disappointed but screw them, they didn’t take you up on your very generous offer when they had the chance. Their loss.
Until next time JR ..
