Interviewer: Last time I looked, you were running away with "Sex Symbol Of The Year" in our Readers' Poll.
Jarvis: Oh really? That's very nice.
Interviewer: I heard you were getting bored with being a sex symbol...
Jarvis: Not so much bored, just bemused. Cos I was always considered a bit of a spaz at school.
Interviewer: Is that when you first became obsessed, so to speak?
Jarvis: Yeah, when there was nothing happening in mine, I suppose. I was a virgin when we made our first LP, and it shows - I had, shall we say, a rather idealised view of these things. You see, where I grew up, it was all suburbs, so all the houses looked exactly the same. Now, when you're walking home, there's nothing much to look at, so you have to start imagining what things might be going on behind the curtains. Of course, there's probably nothing going on at all, just people eating chops. Although - I'll tell you this story - Russell told me once that his mum had been looking for a new flat, and she went into this place where everything was perfect except for this terrible smell in the room, like off meat or something. She never took the flat, and a week later the estate agent told her they'd found that this old lady in the flat upstairs had died and fallen onto her electric fire, and all the fat out of her body had melted and dripped through the floorboards, and made this horrible smell. Now, when you're on your way home through really boring streets, thinking that that sort of thing might be happening in all those houses can really help you through.
Interviewer: We were talking about sex, Jarvis.
Jarvis: Sorry.

HOLY SHIT. Appropriate description. I was having a bad day and this has turned the whole thing around. Amazing.
“First, masturbation can be a form of homosexuality because it is a sexual act...”
– Mark Driscoll, “Pastor” of the Mars Hill Church in Seattle, claiming men need to stop masturbating because it’s a kind of homosexuality. Driscoll also authored a booklet entitled Porn-Again Christian: A Frank Discussion on Pornography & Masturbation for God’s Men.

“It really is a historic triumph for equality and freedom. This really is a great...”
– - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg
yes, yes it is. Good work New York!
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s bill to give gay couples the right to wed has been approved by the state’s senate, making it the sixth US state and most-populous to legalise same-sex marriage. (via malcolmrattray)
