Spaghetti, etc


Ennio Morricone just keeps coming good. Dogtooth found himself transfixed by the final showdown of 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', watching it on a poky screen in the late-night kebab/pizza shop sometime in the wee hours of this morning. It turns out that the legendary theme-tune is great to improvise in the shower of a hungover morning. The acoustics are perfect. Orthodoxy relating to this particular score prescribes a shrill whistle, but Dogtooth prefers to cup his hands over his mouth for an effect known in amateur shower-singing circles as the 'barn owl' or 'Indian whoop'. For the second theme, the standard steely air-guitar impression is acceptable. Dogtooth - and it is only a personal provision - sometimes chooses to accompany the second phase by rhythmically drum-tapping his wet naked thighs. The body is a mine of hitherto unexplored musical potential. Be inventive.

'rythmically drum tapping his wet, naked thigh': is Dogtooth by any chance writing a second rate pornographic novel?
