"From the Desk of QaSepel:
Its December 31, 1999five minutes to midnight. Five minutes to the big one; an occasion to be marked in some way, remembered, related to the grandchildren in the years to come. The trouble is that Im not a party animal. Give me a red nose, a glass of tequila, an armchair, and Ill be happy to watch the festivities on TV.
The trouble is that they cut the power off in August. My needs are simple. As long as I have enough to eat, a little to drink, a reliable supply of cigarettes, a warm room, a decent book, and a TV, Im happy.
And what I need right now is a slice of toast, lightly buttered, smeared with cream cheese.
The trouble is that they cut the power off in August. It was like thisA rumor persisted that all the computers in all the world were set to go berserk as the clock chimed for the twelfth time on this very night. People panicked and withdrew all of their money from the banks in July.
The Result? Im sitting here, four minutes away from the year 2000 with a TV that does not work, toaster that does not toast, and Goddammit woman, I will complain about it! Whose idea was it to board up the doors and windows anyhow? Just take a peek through the crack. Theres nobody there. Its a wasteland out there. Sorry, I shouldnt take it out on you. Hey, my grandfathers old watch says its time. Lets light those last cigarettes and sing our song together1,2,3:
The dog just ate the margarine,
Shes writhing on the floor.
Snatched it when our backs were turned
She wont steal anymore
And if I was the only boy in the world,
And you were the only girl
Wed fight like hell.
O.K. It doesnt rhyme, but at least its ours."
[press release Soleilmoon]
"1998.A stone's-throw to the end of the Century. Everything somehow felt so URGENT.
What if the computers stopped when the clock struck 12 on the fateful night?
Would we playing "spot the lemming" pointing at high towers? Would Arnold Schwarzenegger save us by punching Satan?
It was hard not to ignore the calendar and The Dots created this album in a very swift month before dashing off to America to promote it.Sometimes the energy is enthralling, sometimes it sounds like a little more time was needed. But this was a RACE against time.
So much to sayso little time to say it...
