Ump-ump-umpteen
May. 7th, 2004 01:50 pmI don't know whether to laugh or cry at this recent exchange on alt.fan.momus:
xyzedd: The sad thing is that Momus is one of the few "pop" artists over 30 who has become yet more original and inventive as he grows older; most of them run out of ideas or run their ideas into the ground by the time they get their first gray hair.
Roshan: Sometimes when my friends are talking about how horrible it will be to be middle-aged, I usually just point to people like Momus and say that I can't wait. I mean, imagine all the books you'll have read, people you'll know!

Roshan, it is great, but sometimes I feel like when people ask my age, instead of the real answer (44, m**********r!) I should just say umpteen.

Take that methuselah!
on a side note... has any thought ever gone into the idea of a downloadable ampatch sampler? being a person short on funds, any way to hear a little bit fer not that much would be a great thing. hence, the sampler. fer a small sum maybe you could offer such a thing on the website that would allow those of use a little on the poor side the chance to hear all of yer discoveries and possibley put a sound to the ampatch faces while also putting a few euros in your corduroys and maybe even pushing your releases a little further up thee darla charts, if we cotton to them that is.
thanks you much a plenty,
