Current Project Research: collected massive attack shorts #2

I'm working on a new Massive Attack short story based on the Atlas Air song from Heligoland. The story deals with extraordinary rendition, as does the song. In light of today's news I thought I would link to Massive Attack's Atlas Air and give a little mention to this short that I'm working on. It's still in draft form at the moment, but when it's readable I'll talk more about the story and research that's gone into it.

this is an American and therefore slightly sensationalist version of the report:

Narrated Songs II

Another narrated song. I prefer story-based narrative songs. This is more poetic. It's awesome either way. I love Boys Noize, and Jarvis Cocker is some kind of artistic genius.

Mary came to stay

Mary visited us. She helped out in my allotment (did most of the work), we fired up the cob oven for the first time, she designed the outdoor kitchen area (awesome drawing skills), and then we went bat detecting in the woods. We saw soprano pips, noctule, serotine (I think), and lots of daubenton's over the river on the way back.

Against 2.

"The pessimistic, sceptical and narrow views of the English public, who stupidly adore the pretty-pretty, the commonplace, the soft, the sweet, and mediocre, the sickly revivals of medievalism, the Garden Cities with their curfews and artificial battlements, the may-pole Morris dances, aestheticism, Oscar Wilde, the Pre-Raphaelites, Neo-primitives and Paris."

garden

The garden is looking pretty. We weren't going to plant anything this year, instead rest it because it's very low in nutrients. But I caved and planted stuff anyway.

Can anyone else think of any narrated songs: prose stories rather than spoken poems/ raps.
