Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 2 | Episode One (Ivor Cutler)

[Also at clusterflock.]

"in the luminous gloom we whispered jokes"

Although it had a pattern, crumbs on the carpet weren't wanted. We were obliged to kneel and eat cream crackers with butter and Gouda with a white plate with our heads inside the sideboard. This was a treat because there was room for four, and in the luminous gloom we whispered jokes, so that when laughter rose, showers of buttery, spitty crumbs flew out our mouths like starlings and lodged against the aromatic mahogany, second-magnitude stars. If somebody choked, you got quite big bits.

Harvest recording released 1978. Recorded at 3rd Eye Centre, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, 7 July 1977–9 July 1977. Rev-Ola CD issued 2002.

Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 2 first published in 1984 by Methuen with illustrations by Martin Honeysett.
