Subject: impersonal apology
N.B. This is long - If you've got better things to do just read the last
bit. Ta! Daniel Pemberton
Hello
I am crap. Not as crap as say an Emma Thompson film but pretty rubbish
nevertheless. You're probably wondering why I'm telling you this. Well it's
quite likely that you sent me an e-mail many moons ago and I didn't reply.
You have either completely forgotten about this by now or have made a
little voodoo doll of my head and stuck lots of painfull sharp implements
into it. Possibly. Either way my crapness is confirmed by this extremely
impersonal Reader's Digest "You may have just won ?100,000" style letter
for which I apologise. Anyway, alongside the 'I am crap' motif there are
numerous other reasons why I haven't replied to anyone:
1) I'm still not on-line at home. This is because I still haven't bought a
new Mac/PC as (a) this means I have to tidy my room, which, if you've seen
my room, is a task even top TV trouble shooter and part time goat molester
John Harvey Jones would bottle out of with the excuse "erm, I'm washing my
hair that night" (True. I asked him to help me.) (b) I have to spend lots
of money and do lots of boring "which one's the best for me" type research
and (c) exams. Anyway I'll get one soon, promise.
2) I've had lots of exams, which went shit in case you were wondering.
3) Lots of other things
"SCHoooool's out FOR EVER!" sang Alice Cooper once, and as with so many of
his other songs ('Poison', 'Freaky Frankenstein','Live at the Hollywood
Bowl 1982' etc.) I feel I can really relate to what he's saying, as school
certainly is out for ever. Thus I will soon have more free time on my hands
than ex TV-am presenter Mike Morris and I should therefore be a bit better
at replying to you. So if you've got something you really want to know send
me another e-mail and I'll try and get my arse into gear (metaphorically of
course). In case you were at all interested in what I've been doing I'll
tell you. Of course school and exams have taken up a lot of the time, but I
did finish the follow up to my album 'Bedroom' called 'Lo:tech' earlier
this year. However I've now decided to change a lot of it, but rest assured
it's top stuff and well worth spending your hard earned pennies on when
(and if) it comes out. I'm talking to one label about it at the moment, and
if that all works out I should have lots of stuff coming out. If it doesn't
I'll cry. I've also got a new 2 Player single out on Ninja/N-Tone. I'm
doing lots of writing for mags like i-D and Wired (and even Harpers and
Queen!) now as well which you might be interested in (or not).
Anyway check the web site (www.state51.co.uk/pemberton/) which I should, in
theory, update every now and again, but remember that, in theory, the
Sinclair C5 was a good idea, and thus theories are on the whole, if I can
lower the tone slightly, a load of bollocks. However I will do something.
Promise. You're also now on my mailing list which means alongside recieving
random e-mails about time share apartments in the Algarve and offers for a
complete set of wedgewood Star Trek plates* you may occasionally get lots
of top information on what I'm doing/have got coming out etc. If you want
to get off this mailing list then you'll have to go to the trouble of
sending me an e-mail along the lines of "Get out of my life loser". So
there.
Anyway thanks for being slightly interested in what I'm doing and
sorry for being so useless. Time for a change. NEW Daniel Pemberton, NEW
Britain. Oh, and if you're not English (and if you are probably) lots of
the 'jokes' in this letter probably weren't very funny and simply confused
you. Don't worry as they actually aren't very funny and are confusing.
Sorry. Anyway see ya!
Daniel Pemberton
