when they ask him if he’s looking forward to facing shane and ilya replies, “he is goalie now, yes?”, he finds if so fun, he just keeps doing it, and he’s obviously a bit more of an asshole about it every time.

“shane hollander? sorry, i don’t know the names of all assistant coaches.”

“shane hollander? the zamboni driver for montreal? does good job, sure, but i have seen smoother ice.”

“shane hollander? who is that? does he sell popcorn during the games so that he can at least watch from afar?”

“shane hollander? you mean the guy who has coffee cart outside the arena because selling iced drinks is the closest he will get to hockey?”

“shane hollander? of course i remember him. he is park guide now, did you know? yes that is the closest he will get to sticks.”

(to the journalist) “shane hollander? is that the name of your son? does he want my autograph?”

and of course ilya also knows that those answers will get him angry sex every time, so he feels very encouraged to continue.

Page from my personal journal: a review of Soho record store M + T, from my trip to London, August 1995.

Here’s another London record store review, as hastily scribbled in my UK trip journal the summer of 1995. I only wish I could match what I’d written down as the name of the store (”M + T”) with any external record of such a place. It doesn’t appear on this Record Stores of Soho 1946-1996 map, which seems pretty comprehensive. I do note that it “wasn’t there last year,” on my previous trip to London, so perhaps it was just a flash in the plan.

At any rate, here’s the very mixed review:

M + T on Berwick Looks like a fairly new store (wasn’t there last year—opened in the past month or two?). Limited selection of records, some good stuff, but most of it terribly overpriced (£23 for a used Jap[anese] copy of Marine Girls Lazy Ways, £17 for a reissue copy of Josef K Young and Stupid LP). Decent-sized bargain LP bin unfortunately has virtually all dreck, all styles mixed together, too. There is good stuff, though, and 7″es are priced more reasonably (the few they have).

I’m not sure what I meant by “reissue” here regarding that Josef K album, since it was always a posthumous collection. But I suppose passing on that was the right choice. Not only did I find it later anyway, it sells for around $25 on Discogs... which is cheaper than that M + T copy (adjusting for inflation). Same story for that Marine Girls Japanese pressing, the going rate for which is around $35. Glad I saved my pocket of pound notes for the true bargains to be found...
