"Year of the cat" - Al Stewart

1976 Written by Al Stewart and Peter Wood

"Marvin Gaye! Ant and Dec! Bonnie Tyler! Elliot Page! George Michael! Sabrina Carpenter!"

Number 7 in Let's Do It, my personal fifty favourite singles from 1954-76.

Al's girlfriend at the time was into Vietnamese astrology, and left a book open at the pages on "Year of the Cat". He took the melody from a never-completed song about Tony Hancock, and added a catchy piano figure used by his pianist Peter Wood.

The words went through evolution, too. Out went Hancock, replaced at one point by a dummy lyric mocking "Princess" Anne Windsor-Phillips. Eventually, the tune turned into a song, about a traveller going on a coach through Morocco, and being diverted by a local hottie into a quickie.

And there's a lot of instrumentation. Peter wanted his piano figure to be an instrumental, so Al doesn't sing over it. Tim Renwick has two guitar solos, and producer Alan Parsons chucked in a string section because he's Alan Parsons and he can do that.

This is as close as my 50 gets to prog rock, partly because the genre never quite fit the single format, and partly because much of it only makes sense if you're smoking the same drugs in the same quantities as the originators.

For me, "Year of the cat" comes from a familiar sort of emotional place: the semi-rural suburbia, looking far afield for thrills that will never be found in your sleepy village. Al grew up in a place like that, as did I. It's a gentle mysticism, a tourist's view of life as viewed through bucolia.

Writing the stupidest but cutest (to me at least but as its parent I admit my bias) lil fic (v stoned) to stave off the suicidal ideation (happens regularly, even when I was in regular treatment, it's fine, I'm gonna be fine, I know how to handle it), and I'm v excited to post it here. it's nothing special or big, and I've been struggling so hard not to worry abt bad faith readers re: fic again (dumb, I know) that writing has been. Hard. Scary. I have so many drafts basically done I'm too afraid to publish, c'est la vie.

Anyway, the worst tasting edible gummies are the best for baking a sick brain, and cute group nap fic should be on the dash shortly

[25/300] Everyone in it can go.

Had an argument with my wife over the silliest yet grimmest thing. Now, please understand that this all pertains to a horror movie we were watching, and I still love her with all my heart. ---- So, when a person horribly injures another person, to the point that the survivor of the attack is unable to use a limb or another part of the body, this is maiming, right? And when an animal grabs you and fucks your shit up as badly as mentioned above with a similar end result, that's called mauling, correct? ---- Yes, this was the point of contention for a couple of minutes at our humble abode. All I remember from before it happened is how we were laughing OUR ASSES OFF at seeing a slasher going to town on one of its victims. Anyway, yeah, these are the kind of things that probably kept me from the good schools, as one late New Yorker stand-up comedian once said. Read ya' later alligator!

Goal: Break Tolstoy Target: over 587,287 words Currently: 292,906

Remaining: 294,381 49.87% to goal

(this is counting published fic only as I do not have a quick and easy way to measure everything I've written without notes/outlines/ephemera)

some people out there really be typing fanfics longer than war and peace in their free time and then going on about their life like it's no big deal. how fucking incredible. like no offense to tolstoy but that was like. his whole job
