Factums - Take Drugs

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away (actually Yeovil) I wrote a song called Take Drugs that was intended to be played only be accident. It was rubbish, done on an old Casio SK5, mixing up something unfunky from MAARS, a Lydia Lunch drone and me, as a backward-looking 15 year old, telling myself to take drugs, something in the style of Mel and Kim, or the PWEI appropriation of them.

Yeah, I know. I also used to make tape mash ups of Monty Python records and Health and Safety adverts - fucking sue me...

I never played it because I wanted it just to appear, to turn up on an old tape sometime in the future, hopefully when I needed some definitive guidance, maybe in the depths of an K-Hole (actually more likely to be an A-Hole but...), maybe at a loose moment in time when thing were getting thinner (hair, teeth, skin etc). I liked the idea of my past creeping out at a time when I was least expecting it (a past without an attached County Court Judgement, restraining order, alimony suit, that is). I liked the idea of it just appearing and being only half-remembered.

It did appear once, in an appropriate place, at an appropriate time, somewhere around the depths of Good Hell (Swansea) and now I've found it again... when i get a new cassette Walkman I'll upload it and play it out here... maybe someone else'll find it...

Anyway, this track by Factums has nothing in common except the fidelity and the title. The video is creepy as a one-eyed horse though...
