Filthily depraved uptempo conundrum

Soft Cell

You know that you have been listening to too much music when you find yourself pondering which song, out of a two-way choice between Sex Dwarf by Soft Cell (“luring disco dollies to a life of vice”) or Sex Beat by The Gun Club (“we can fuck forever but you will never get my soul”), would provide the most suitable accompaniment to the depraved act itself.

The Gun Club

Then, of course, once you find yourself wondering along such lines, there are all the supplementary questions about pace and tempo, not to mention the preferred musical tastes of your partner. Sleazy American punk or perverted electronic dance music? Oh, you decide, darling. I’ve suddenly got one of my headaches coming on.

Sometimes I think too much. Worryingly so.

We regret to inform you that Dr Freud will not be undertaking any consultations this afternoon. Besides, he doesn’t see the point in this particular case, since the patient is displaying a definite lack of subconscious suggestion that is contrasting wildly with other psychological preoccupations that are almost disturbingly self-evident. Nurse, the screens.

I blame caffeinated overindulgence for everything. Absolutely everything. Obviously. Maybe I should abstain for a day or two. From the coffee, I mean; nothing else. No, definitely nothing else.

    The muscial tastes of your partner, oh please…
    I was left standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain
    It was a kind of so-so love, and I’m going to make sure it never happens again.

    And you in a cocktail skirt !

    I am going to admit something publicly.

    I lost my virginity to Little Baby Nothing by the Manic Street Preachers.

    All together now: “Used, used, used by men…”

    Miss Tickle - what can I say? It is truly an honour to have such information shared in my comments. I’m just glad it wasn’t ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’.

    Hi, Mr Witness. I haven’t heard Sex Dwarf for a very, very long time. Thanks for the memory…

    Wow, someone else remembers The Gun Club. I came across an almost forgotten (by me, anyway) Jeffrey Lee Pierce solo album during last summer’s review of my vinyl collection and I’ve been meaning to get my hands on some Gun Club proper ever since.

    I am watching Puppy Bowl III on Animal Planet on mute, and playing The Gun Club as a soundtrack.
    Try it.
