In a message dated 2/6/98 5:19:27PM, you write: >But you must have read at least one fiction book, Keith. Surely? My aim in >life is to write the kind of book that people who never read books read, and >then they go on and on about it for the rest of their lives, because it was >really good, but they never seem to feel the urge to read another. >> Why has no-one yet mentioned Paul Auster? The descriptions of the beauty of coincidence and relatively 'trivial' yet profound incidents in the likes of Moon Palace or City Of Glass are surely a lot closer to B&S's emotional landscape than the likes of Camus, Sartre... or anything else from the Manics reading list, for that matter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Northy by Northy-Westy
by PJMiller 07 Feb '98

07 Feb '98

Not long ago some people were awarded "carte blanche" to talk shite on the list. Can't Northy be awarded "carte blanche" to talk politics? I would certainly miss his occasional outbursts. Yesterday's little effort certainly made my day, especially as it coincided nicely with one of my guilty secrets, "Mambo Fever".

As regards Felt, I actually meant to write something in that vein earlier today ... _The Pictorial Jackson Review_ is definitely my favourite Felt album and I know about several people sharing the same affection for the classic masterpiece ... an excellent purchase is the CD version featuring _Train Above The City_ in addition, which offers splendid jazzy instrumentals. Generally I'd wholeheartedly recommend any Felt record released on Creation Records. Besides, I've thoroughly enjoyed the Felt story by one Alistair Fitchett in the Tangents 2.2 magazine ... anyone ever heard of this excellent writer ? §;^D "Press Softly On the Brakes Holly" Andreas The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella But more upon the just because The unjust steals the just's umbrella (Charles Baron Bowen) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

well, i'm about to pummel my computer with a large and heavy object. may as well do it with my record player and stereo while i'm at it. but anyway, the reasoning is that global chat version 1.3 has started to make my computer freeze. so what to do? the links on the web pages weren't taking me anywhere, as global chat has been acquired by ichat, who apparently isn't advertising them on the web page. so where should i go? what's a mac user to do? boo-hoo, help me! xox megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sorry for bringing up politics on the list. I should have thought before sending the message but I didn't and am sorry. I haven't read any replies so when I send/receive I will be scared! Anyway. Sorry, I am so reactionary. I'll think next time. *Northy backs out the door, tripping on the carpet, muttering pathetic sorrys* __________________________________________ Anyone else like the Lightning Seeds? Now they are Pop. I like their song Cool Place. ________________________________________ (Paul - Chris is gonna phone up the Comedy Store and get tickets....and send something to the list.....tell 'em how you found out about B&S eh?) ______________________________________________________ "Everyday, when I wake up, I thank the Lord I'm Welsh" Cerys Matthews - 1998 ________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
