But she does test my good faith at times and I must say of all times recently when she remarked to a woman at the make up counter on Harrods that I was in the business of porn. Well, of course, it is not so. And for that matter, and more importantly, is the pressing matter that Klaus Harmony was not either. It is true that he was called the 'Mozart of Porn' in the 70's:

"The score to Die Sins des Apostles marks the coming of age of a prodigy. If Klaus Harmony is the Mozart of porn, this is his Haffner Symphony."

Bobbi Lerner, Helter Skelter Magazine, 1973


BUT! He would no question have questioned this as he believed himself to be an 'erotik expressionist' and was very artful. Every instance of tits and fanny in the films of Friedrich Wohlfäht was competely justified - similar to the wonderful films of Kenny Russell. All Klaus did was to make wonderful pro-feminist music for these and to be derided by Pupu makes me quite cross.

But still I love her and she is without doubt the most beautiful woman I am yet to meet so I should say I am lucky to be something like married to her.

She did wonder if I was gay recently. She noticed that at night, at times, I sometimes 'rummage down there' on myself at the behind and was thinking perhaps I may crave that which she could not give me. It did make me howl with a laugh that after all those years she would think so. I simply explained that I sometimes have a need to apply an oily bullet (are these supposetrees?) because things are often a little arid. No matter. I am not gay, of course. I should point out that I do not mind this comparison necessarily and some of my near friends are gay in any case.

So. It is as it will be, as they say overseas! Now I think I may have to visit Helmut who has been claiming of a bad tummy pain since Sunday. I think it is near springtime and he needs a walk around the building as he has not been outside since November - but hey, who am I to argue?

Peace,

Yes I am obviously to apologise for my strange talk of recent times. I have been smoking a little more cannabis than as is normal for me because of the stress of Pupu being gone. But she is back now and all is well!

So. I am not happy with Godfrey Gilliam (Klaus' long term biographer). I have persuaded Streef la Belle from Straldo Em Hitz to do a TV interview with GG to promote the party mix album (which I hate). But I do have a plan! Well, first with Godfrey doing the interview, Streef will not so much be able to steal the lime light. And second, GG could be exposing him as a bad man and fraud conster, all on live TV (maybe Rai Uno).

But GG WON'T DO IT!

I have put a call in to him and he was a little evasive at the beginning but was admitting eventually that he is worried about the mafia and Streef la Belle. We mustn't forget that it would have been Streef's intention to do a party mix of Fabien Mitterrand but he knows damn well that Klaus Harmony music beats FM any days.

I am not at all happy and need to regroup so I can know what to do next.

PS I have decided to carry out my food experiment in May and am currently interviewing good looking women who can supply their own white coat and clipboard.

Peace,

Jan Sink

Pupu has called and she is has agreed to come back with a proviso or few.

1. First she wants no negativity against my business partner and surrogate son, Helmut. Agreed.

2. She want more cash for day to day being about in coffee houses, wine bars and department stores. Agreed.

3. She wants to say that Bogdan the maintainance man can come to give her 'life advice'. Agreed.

4. She wants my tennis club membership card. No!'

Why is she so against the man who is for peace and loving more than all things? All I do is love her and she turns me aside so much.

What I think of course is that Streef la Belle should do the idea of Godfrey Gilliam on a head to head TV interview where all things count. It would be Godfrey's opportunity for a livetime.

BUT! Streef is accepting and GG is saying, 'no thanks, matey'. So the moment is never come.

I have bones which I can pick with GG and I will when the moment is ripest!

Peace,

Jan Sink

And I should have also pointed out (maybe I would not be saying this out loud on the ethernet if I did not have some cannabis) but Streef la Belle did have a sex change operation some years ago. I cannot remember which way he changed. I am a fool. I love you Pupu.

Come home. You can have the coat if you want it.

I have long had what Pupu calls "this ridiculous lifestyle" of late nights up and meals at the funny times of day. Well I have some answers but they are not easy to make into reality.

First my eating. Well it is true to say but how I make me regular in this respect is difficult because I never could get along with the three meals a day way of things and diet. So my plan, first off, is to hire a woman in a white coat (she does not need be qualified in anything but I would insist on the white coat as to make me a more confident subject for the experiment) and she would observe me about my day and day business for one whole month of the calender (perhaps May) to make a profile of when I seem to be hungry for things (of course it is better to exclude the times when I might have smoked any cannabis).

This way after these weeks we can sit in a scientific way, with clipboards and glasses, and examine what it is we find. I think we will then have the answer to the problems of when I am best to eat and when Pupu should cook for me and not worry that I am not at all hungry.

Also we apply much the same idea to the answer of when I am best to sleep by asking the same woman with the coat to watch as I go around and make a note of when I am indecisive or making mistakes or falling over. But again, not if I am smoking some cannabis. Waste of time - not funny.

Then, again, we sit with clipboards and we know when I am tired.

This puts me very much in mind of the amazing inventor Jerrick Vander about whom Godfrey Gilliam wrote:

"Whilst living with Friedrich, Klaus became close to inventor, Jerrick Vander who asked him to be a human guinea pig for his new invention, the ‘Orgasmemeiter’, a transistor device designed to gauge orgasm intensity. Klaus spent hours, sometimes days attached to the machine, the only notable side effect of which was to cause its subject to pass involuntary stools. He returned home to Claudia but not without bringing yet another piece of Vander-devised apparatus, the ‘Genoegencyclus’, a man powered sex toy employing a bicycle, wired to a vibrator which promised ‘synchronous male wellbeing and female pleasure."

Great!

Pupu would be jealous!

I have had so much attention today but not all good! I arrived in Amsterdam and SWR called from Brentford (Essex, not California) to ask about the Straldo Em Hitz compilation which she has heard about. I explained as mostly sincere that I could that I believed it was not good for the memory of Klaus and she interrupted me by shouting that she has waited long enough and needs to have her second swimming pool now! Well I was very stunned and wanted to speak to Helmut but he is in 'dark' mode presently and cannot come out of his special room.

So cut cut the long story off, she wants me to let the party mix come out for the sake of money. It breaks my heart but she is entitled to my respect.

Anyhow, also I got a call from classical actor Anthony Booth who wants very much to know if his demo acetate version of Wonderful Kiss, Marvelous Eyes, which would have appeared on Elektrische Lippen if he had been the leading actor, is to be included onto a Oeuvre volume. I explained that we did not plan it (party because it is true to say I think that Klaus hated that song!) and he became quite angry and told me he badly needed the money for an apartment in Liverpool. I did not ask as to why! He is most upset with me. I am sorry he is feeling this way about it all.

Anyway, also it is Helmut's time to be taken to the Spa but it is quite a trouble to get him from his room. At the moment he will only read notes in his letterbox and not even come to his intercom. Pupu believes I should assert myself over him but come on - for old times sake of Klaus and the faith? No way. Maintain the funk at always. This was my promise to him.

Away for egg mayonnaise.

Peace,

Jan Sink

Straldo Em Hitz has sent me a sleeve art for the Klaus party compilation which is hideous. They have made Klaus like 'stars on 45' or something like Pete Waterman and his birdy song would make.

Don't they know about Klaus and his numeralogical reference, his love of Bach and Gerry Marsden? Don't they understand his profound influence on Giorgio Moroder, James Last and Herbie Hancock? I think they do not.

I think I must go back to Amsterdam for a cleansing of the mind, as Pupu says. Bit actually she wants to go shopping at the Bluewater without me nagging her about spending our savings.

Maybe there I will see other fronds of Klaus and they will help me to keep the faith.

Peace,

Jan Sink

It's not like at all what we wanted. Now this smooth guy from Straldo Em Hitz is saying he wants to do a Klaus party compilation and there is nothing we can do about this.

(I signed something different with the royalty men) It's most definitely not in the spirit of the current Klaus Harmony collection which seeks to show the artful side of such a wonderful composer and what he created. Klaus was fond to make sure that the narrative comes through in his work and was not only about funny funky music (though it is true some of his output is fun and funky).

Still, as the guardian of his work I must be in mind of Suzanne Watkins-Robb and her new swimming pool. Brentwood (Essex, not California) is a beautiful vistas and Pupu now wishes we have had our London pad there.

I am sad to say such a thing but I believe that if Streef la Belle wants to make his release on Straldo Em Hitz, I would eat his hat. "My hat", Pupu corrects me. Hers is English better than my own.

Peace,

Jan Sink
