Anyone waiting for the weekly address? Here you go. One of the features of Looking for Prince Charless Dog is the musical references. For example each chapter has a song as its title. Recently I was wondering if I had slipped up by not having a Welsh pop song as one as there was certainly Irish, Scottish, English and of course African. Theres not one I could think of though presumably there are Welsh musicians in there somewhere. I think I am right in saying all but one of the songs either was contemporaneous to its chapter or pre-existed. Boats is the only one that came after and it is being mastered right now. So I was thinking which Welsh song I could slip into the soundtrack album and could only think of 3 Welsh bands: Catatonia, Feeder and Super Furry Animals. The latter I know no songs by. I only really got to know Feeder during the latter years of hospitalisation: the Postface of the book which has Over the Side as the official song. I dont know any Super Furry Animal songs. That left Catatonia. I was thinking of a particular song of theirs which was playing on MTV every day a number of times when I was at Fairfield Lunatic Asylum and I found this must have been around my birthday 1999, probably shut out of my mind. Id been injected with Depixol and had ADA: Anxiety, Depression and Akathisia. A very nasty and dangerous combination. And there was this video coexisting quite bizarrely with me on the ward. The song for that chapter is the English song by Phil and June Colclough: Song for Ireland. Certainly cant change that! What I can say is that one of the best Christmas days in my life was spent in Khairoun Tunisia as described in the story and there it was a normal day as described in the book. Felt quite biblical actually. I also know a sizeable proportion of the people who Like this page are Moslems eg in Niger I think. So why nots let have that song from that strange and extremely tough time for me from the spring of 1999. Nothing to do with Christmas! Wait a minute did not the singer have a mental journey herself? Ok: Merry Christmas Cerys! Dead from the waist down, like me when I took Dothiepin also in the book. Perhaps I could split that chapter into two for the 2nd edition... https://youtube/watch?v=uJnT6bLr5_k
