We’re together at last! I wondered who outbid me on that time machine – thought I’d got it for a $40 steal, but you kept driving the price up. Re: The obscene levels of popularity I’m currently experiencing – well, I can still safely say I haven’t specifically appeared on TV as TBP yet…surely that buys us some time. Some JJJ play and the youtube vid of Northcote is going rather well, but still – people just know it as the hipster song, surely. I mean, i just did a national tour – and at no point was there a definite feeling of *looks out into the crowd and sees 500 indie bogan commercial radio listeners holding up camera phones and thinkg ‘when did it become like this.’* Man – I got like 120 payers in Canberra for crying out loud. So, we’re ok…
As far as me taking so long to write! HELL YES! And naturally, I am my own manager writing right now, as if I’d have time to phone this in….I’m far too busy writing the difficult follow up single ‘Im so hungover that I just don’t try anymore…’
Bidding you good day (want to out-bid me on that too?) and see you in 1994, I’ll bring the le-snaks.

I have just noted that your response to the previous comment was 6 months in the making. I propose that this was due to you having too many much cooler/important things to do (prioritising is a good skill and a nice buzz word for selection criteria & public service job interviews) or maybe that it just took you that long to get the wording “just right” (Hi Sara!… na thats too casual, backspace backspace, throw scrunched up piece of paper into bin and start again.)

So i bought a time-machine from E-bay for 6 grain-fed Pheasants (fairly cheap if you study the market) , it looks kind of like an egg-beater with a recycled fridge underneath it… i believe i just hop into the butter softener and wait for the future to happen… Tally-ho!

ME: “oh yeah justin heazlewood,i used to read his article in BMA years back, he writes for frankie too (“what ? you haven’t heard of frankie? well its really creative and cool and like arty and shit, i’m not artistically motivated at all but it makes me feel cultured when i read it) . he’s really witty and honest and funny and shit at the same time, you know? yeah? …. etc etc…

SO back to the point, i liked your writing years back in canberra,i lost that when i moved the brisbane (damn street press and their small budgets, and mediocre coverage, surely everyone in brisbane wants to know whats happening at Mooseheads) so back to the point again… what happens if you turn into the above mentioned? i really want the best for you, really i do, but I don’t know if i’m ready to share you.. PS please don’t tell anyone we talked about this, your profile needs to remain low for a while, and soon, who knows maybe you will be on Rove?

I reckon we must remember that a shows popularity in no way compromises its quality. I mean, look at bananas. How popular are they? Do we get all flighty when we see all kinds of plebs buying them from the supermarket? Do we think ‘bananas – hey, I started that, that was my fruit!’ Like most things, The Boosh is really popular because it’s really good. Beatles – ok. Monty Python – ok. Boosh – ok. Part of the backlash blues are caused by our inability to cope with the reality that we can’t regain that first high – look at smokers, drinkers, trying to regain that thrill when you watched your first Boosh episode. Well, that may never return in its full glory, but can it compare to the full belly feeling of having devoured three entire series, and possessing the second language of eighteen episodes worth of script to quote and be influenced by?
