Pweephony (The Avec Sur Lennon: Le Puis Finis)
Pweephony (The Avec Sur Len... Lyrics & Chords
Indescribable!
The track here is a 12m49s excerpt from a longer recording delivered to Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street just after midnight on the 10th May 2001. Lightning struck the Houses of Parliament as I walked across Westminster Bridge on my way there from Green Angels in Southwark, as I turned the corner of Parliament Square, opposite the statue of Winston Churchill, who had a turf mohican the year before on May 1st 2000, lightning struck Westminster Cathedral (or the little church in front) and set the fire alarm off. I then handed this disc to the policeman on duty at Margaret Thatcher’s gates to Downing Street, who was reasonably decent, he made a point of turning and saying, just after he had taken the disc, “He does get everything that goes in ‘the box’, by the way”, meaning Mr Blair. After 9/11 I turned into a headless chicken because of having done this, and because this idea that I now call The ‘Interdependent Reform of The House of Lords’ (it’s a facebook community page) seemed to me to be the obvious solution for World Peace – not where most people would place their thinking about The House of Lords, however I think. On the populist front, I had turned a tape of The Imagine Soundtrack on in my bedroom halfway through my long pontification, by chance the voice of John Lennon in the background interwove at intervals with what I was saying; for some of it I also played my unplugged strat absentmindedly but quite well I think. I had not listened to the tape much before, although I had had it for 10 years; I had been jamming quite a lot at Green Angels for about 15 months prior to making the recording.
I recorded 150 minutes of myself alone in my living room, the day after Mayday 2001, the vocal riff of ‘Super Super Snail Trail’ (my first upload here) is what prompted me to start recording, but I soon started politically debating the persecution of drug users, read a passage from a Buddhist daily readings book for the day, talked about an idea for reforming The House of Lords that I had developed to try and stop national politicians traveling internationally all the time and nip international conflicts of interest while these were still in the bud, and ended up with a proposal to eliminate the motor car with public investment in a ‘tethered zeppelin’ public transport system (I was chuckling most about that after making the recording, and about one moment when I said “Morley College” and sounded exactly like John Peel).

The entire 150 minute recording (in two parts) has been online since about 11/3/2003 at www.frazerk.net/ralegh but unlinked to anywhere active since that time to the present (20/4/2011); re-registered www.awedserf.com for the second time after a short lapse in registration just before then with the hope of turning the domain’s potential to combating the march of Bush, possibly in combination with my Lennon mess: I had originally intended (in early 2001) to register and then leave the mother of all marketing domains alone forever after the initial lapse as a joke and comment on materialist motivation…. instead I turned into a headless chicken with it. I re-registered it in Adelaide as something to do before contacting my ex-girlfriend’s mother who I wanted to seek political counsel with, and just possibly my ex herself – her mother threatened to call the police (“It’s that serious”) if I went anywhere near her daughter (whose location I had no idea of anyway) after I made the mistake of telephoning in advance (‘politely’ on the general advice of Sivananda Yoga Vedanta about not turning up unexpectedly for people): I should have just been myself and turned up with the teapot I had bought as a belated thank you gift for her mother for putting me up in 1999.
On the television the day after I re-registered www.awedserf.com they announced the name for the invasion of Iraq: Operation Shock and Awe. It has been like that the whole way through for me I have been just a step ahead of both sides of the past decade’s conflicts with a peculiar potential to stand at the same level of both of them in the public conciousness (I think).
Perhaps my ex, who loves to cook, is confusing me with a tomato, “which taste better the longer you cook them”; in fact I’m a potato.

my bloody pda always deletes ’I’s in these boxes if you press space after the letter ‘I’ by itself: you have to make two spaces and then use the back arrow once to insert the letter ‘I’ – I sometimes forget, hence the mistake above, it should read, “I re-registered www.awedserf.com….”
