Absolute Beginners and Absolutely Embarassing

From the shiteous film absolute beginners- the ONLY redeemable part in it.

Yeah yeah i know i know, they were going for the whole "thing". But i saw Quadrophenia already. And i enjoyed it immensely. That Phil Daniels was a cutie and had a good bike. Ugh- but THIS one. This club has low ass standards if they are clapping for THAT shit. Really. That ladypants suit is a HUGE FAIL. That greasy hair is a FAIL. That face and hair is a FAIL. Oh and hes a drunk? Just when you think someone couldn't get less appealing. If given a choice, Id rather make out with a hand fashioned like a pair of lips. Really. Not even if he were drenched in drakaar noir. And i really like that cologne and by proxy, men who wear it. Im serious, im not being funny. I really like it. A lot.

Anyyesitslike6.99andsowhat, this song is infuriatingly difficult to find. I can understand why the MOVIE would be, but not this song.

And the rest of the absolute beginners:
The jam. Ahem, lets be honest. Paul Weller.

Paul Weller recently made the rags in the UK for being a hot mess with his 19 year old backup singer girlfriend in Prague. He seems to have gotten the Ronnie Wood mid life (or in RW's case, geriatric life) crisis. I really stopped being into him after Wild Wood anyway.

Uh oh. This is quickly becoming like Mod 101.

Phil Daniels and his hot bike and cute tie and skinny brown haired face.

Ah, now THATS a bike and a cute boy. Fishtail parkas make me want to barf, but somehow Phil makes it ok. Ooooh did i like him when i was young. And when he sang on Parklife...well, i was one happy little moron with bad taste. But despite the fact that i am completely embarrassed by my one time earnest dedication to all things England, 60s and uh, mortifying in retrospect, Quadrophenia is still cool. Its always gonna be cool. Good record, good movie, good boys, slutty girl and toya wilcox...what isnt to like. Plus, it had such good background music. Baby its you....el watusi...the rhythm of the falling rain...

Aw..Keith Moon. Bucket T. Extra Credit
