Comments on: Monstrance - Andy & Barry Talk It All Through (Part One) http://apehouse.prevuz.com/2007/04/12/monstrance-andy-barry-talk-it-all-through-part-one/ XTC’s Andy Partridge\'s label Ape House features audio, video and features about the label and its artists Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:12:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Per Aronsson http://apehouse.prevuz.com/2007/04/12/monstrance-andy-barry-talk-it-all-through-part-one/#comment-366 Per Aronsson Sat, 21 Apr 2007 10:52:28 +0000 http://apehouse.prevuz.com/2007/04/12/monstrance-andy-barry-talk-it-all-through-part-one/#comment-366 What a great and hilarious conversation. I wouldn´t mind being insulted by Barry. He, he… But I still think that English people are polite. At least compared to most Swedes. The talk about swans reminded me about my friend Magnus that during a military exercise, in which they should survive on their own for several days in the Stockholm archipelago, desperately killed a swan to get some food. It was an hard fight to strangle it, because as Andy have experienced, swans are very aggressive. So Magnus got some wounds during the fight and just getting a grip of the long neck was a challenge... It was also quite difficult to eat the big bird, Normally you must let the bird "hang" for at least three days, but they grilled it directly, so the meat was extremly leathery. But Magnus survived! Sorry if that story is a little bit tasteless, but I am in that mood today... What a great and hilarious conversation. I wouldn´t mind being insulted by Barry. He, he…
