Vocal Q / 22 August 1998 12: I have a question for you. 13: Don’t preface. 12: 13: Just go ahead and say what you want to say. 12: I wonder what it would feel like to have tiny insects living and spawning in my bloodstream. 13: Is that your question? 12: Did it sound like a question? 13: No. 12: OK then. 13: I need to run— 12: It would be neat if everything sounded like vinyl. If everything had that, you know, crackle and pop. 13: Is that— 12: A hint is that my voice will get a little bit higher at the end. 13: There’s no need— 12: There’ll be a little lilt, a tiny upswing in the tone of my voice. 13: 12: We have all these vocal cues so you know exactly when I’m fucking asking you a goddamn question, OK? 13: [exhaling] 12: Like just then. 13: You’re a cute one. 12: Do you know anyone, like anyone, who’s happy? 13: 12: Anyone who’s where they want to be? Anyone who’s not boring and depressed? 13: That’s more than one question. 12: I gotta go. 13: Me too. Previously / Sinister Rex: The Early Years |
