I was hanging out at Central Station a few days ago hustling for cash when I picked up a copy of GO Belfast for a flick. It gave me a great big smile all over my face to see Party Down and Go Fuck Yourself mentioned as one of Belfast's top blogs. Thanks to journalist Tia Clarke for writing the piece. Sharing the stage were also White Rabbit, Fast Fashion, Slugger O'Toole, Well Done Fillet, Bandwidth Sessions, and 400 Facts. I was pretty happy to say the least and felt like bodypopping all the way home, except I can't bodypop so I prowled the streets looking for someone I knew who I could offer hi-5s to. The first person I came across was Derek Baby from the Sweaty Metallers. I couldn't tell him because he never knew I wrote the blog.
He said that him and the other sweaty metaller (the one that isn't him) are back together in a band and that they're doing really heavy Space Metal. It's orgasmic (that's what he said). He had some on his mp3 player and asked if I wanted a listen. I said yes out of politeness. What followed felt like a repentant rapist who has only just realised he's a scum bag, screaming about his wrong doings right up in your fucking face (through heavy distortian and a chorus peddle).
The lyrics went:
I'm a sex tiger
a sex survivor
from the planet Sex
I come to pay my respects.
I told him it was great then I went home and sat in a chair all evening feeling abused wishing I knew the number for a counselling service.
