Finnegans Wake 2008

Recently we’ve been enjoying the production work of a young man who goes by the name of The Aspirins For My Children, not least the earth-shatteringly twisted wrongpop of ‘Attention’, his amazing collaboration with thecocknbullkid.

But something has been troubling us about that moniker. Should there be an apostrophe? Is it meant to be a plural? Driven mad by the apostrophical ambiguity, we got in touch with the man himself to clear things up. Here is what he said.

"There is indeed an ambiguity. There is supposed to be an apostrophe but MySpace doesn’t allow them in the name title bit thing. I’m thinking of changing the name altogether actually. It was conceived as a bit of a joke during that 14-year-old, Hollywood Bowl, smoking, watching soft porn on Channel 5 stage of my life. Not sure what to go with now, maybe Milk Man or taxidermy ringtone society. It’s a hassle though."

So there you go. But wait. Where exactly did the name originate? Back over to TAFMC:

"It was in a poem that went:

The Aspirin's for my children
Its either Aspirin or I kill them,
Until something takes our pain away,
Lets all get fucked on smack."

A highly amazing stanza, we’re sure you’ll agree.
