The Smiths and Hotdogs


Just got my hands on this ultra rare mix of 'How Soon Is Now' by The Smiths. I think it only came out on the Italian 12" b-side of 'William It Was Really Nothing'
Better production and a different vocal take and arrangement, new bassline and some extra drum parts plus some additional guitars - much better version I think (non Smiths fans nod off)

Morrissey has a new best of LP out that's worth buying. I aint giving it you for nothing though. I'll get in trouble.

I've got a new camera so I took some new pictures. It's a Lumix TZ23






That's all really, I've got some enthusiastic things I wanted to say about ice cream and hotdogs but I haven't the energy right now. So I'll post up actor Christopher Walken's essay on hotdogs and little picture of a delicious one I ate last week.







Christopher Walken on Hotdogs



Do you enjoy eating hot dogs? I hope you won't be put off by my frankness when I tell you that I absolutely love them. In fact, I enjoy no food item more than a freshly-boiled hot dog.
Now, I've done a lot of movies, and it's true that I've worked with quite a few celebrities who did not share this opinion. I'm sorry to say that these people have always angered me. There are two types of people in this world: those who eat hot dogs whenever it is possible to do so, and those who opt to do other things with their free time.
Who do the latter think they are kidding? What pastime could be more rewarding than the consumption of hot dogs? I haven't yet found one, and I don't expect to in my lifetime.
Unlike other foods, hot dogs can be eaten at any time, in any place, and it is not necessary to cook them. Now, I ask you: Why not eat hot dogs? They are delicious. I carry a bag of hot dogs with me wherever I go. I eat them from the bag whenever I get the urge, regardless of the circumstances. When I make a movie, my hot dogs are my co-stars. If, in the middle of a scene, I decide I want to consume a hot dog, I do so. I waste the director's time and thousands of dollars in film stock, but in the end, it is all worth it, because I enjoy eating hot dogs more than I enjoy acting.
This bothers some people. I was supposed to portray Batman, but when Tim Burton learned of my hot dog cravings, he asked Michael Keaton to wear the cape. To this day, I am peeved about this.
When we filmed The Dead Zone, I ate over 800 hot dogs a day. It was necessary. My character needed to come across as intense as possible, and I found the inspiration for that intensity in my intense love for hot dogs. The director, David Cronenberg, said that he would never work with me again. I kept eating hot dogs when the cameras were rolling, and that seemed to bother him. I say fuck him. He doesn't even like hot dogs.
I would like to end by emphasizing once again that I really like to eat hot dogs. If any of you people disagree, I loathe you. I despise you. Not only that, but I also despise all your loved ones. I want to see them torn to pieces by wild dogs. If I ever meet you in person, I'll smash your brains in with a fucking bat. Then we'll see who doesn't like hot dogs.





I took this picture of the hotdog couple. They look so happy - they're going to have a quite a night out.

Happy Valentines day x
