Dear Client / Clients [pls. delete as appropriate dependant on on how you are feeling today],
Please decrease your medication and give any of the left-overs
[including any partially chewed remnants] to Nursie, who will naturally
give you a reciept which will be valid for swaps for a period of 1 week.
We are currently ripped off our tits on the new jollop that the courier
has just arsed in from our labs in Zurich. At $20 each, the current
batch of Didactothwackerol 200mg's are a proper good buzz when ringed,
and unusually, they are also a surprisingly good smoke [albeit a little
rough on the tonsils], particularly if crushed up with a fistfull of
Prolekreig 400mg's and a spoonfull of meths. If you would like us to save you some, please send cash only this time [no kites], small denominations only etcetera.... Don't call us... We'll call you... Kindliest regrads... A.Psychiatrist [dictated - not read]
N.B.
Due to Nursies keen observance over her stockings, both the stunnozine
and strontium 90 suppositories are now fantastic value at only fiver
each [as opposed to 2 for a tenner as previously striated]... please
speak any of the other longer terms patients for further details.
"...it’s like Kid Strange and Urban Blitz from the Doctors of Madness at
their most morose played Overhang Party, or a mogadon’d Peter Hammill
jamming with Van Der Graaf’s Graham Smith. Elsewhere, the singular
desolation is most reminiscent of the most down down moments of Nico’s
THE MARBLE INDEX or even of Jesse Colin Young’s The Youngbloods at
their most mercurial. But the Scrapes are still so original their music
ultimately don’t sound like nobody but themselves." Julian Cope
