His real name is Quentin Cook. I know I've posted this before to the list, but the fact needs repeating as often as possible.

A couple of years ago, I went down to London for the day (to see David Letterman recording... oh, the shame). As it turned out, that day the fannies were doing an instore in HMV on Oxford Street. So we went to see them, and when they did the signing bit, I asked them to write a postcard to a friend of mine. They obliged, and my friend still has the card pinned to her wall with the message "Hi Dawn! It's Norm here from Teenage Fanclub. We're hanging out in London with Rod." Norm Blake is like Duglas Stewart -- It's impossible to listen to their between song banter without breaking into an enormous cheesey grin! I went to the Beltane Festival thing last night, but due to being on antibiotics at the moment, I was unable to drink anything. Boy, was that a bizarre experience! Last year, when I was off my face, it all made perfect sense. Last night, I was wandering around wondering what, exactly, the naked red blokes represented, and whether the other naked blokes were green or blue. Them pagans really knew how to throw a party. What's everyone's favourite drugs? My vote goes to "Disprol Soluble Paracetemol Tablets for Children". All the goodness of paracetemol, and they taste (and fizz) like orange Refreshers. And so, tibet. Rod.

Sinister: Nee Nee Mun Pish - Sorry Cliff
by PJMiller 01 May '98

01 May '98

Hello. It's May Day, so get your McCarthy albums out and sing Ho! for the life of a worker! Thank you Sarah for your entertaining story about a night out with Fatty Bum Bum in Preston. The Preston Picnic obviously ROCKED and has more me much more jealous than any of the others. Congratulations for speaking to the Strap Man. I think the mayor of Falkirk is missing out on a great opportunity to promote Falkirk as the home of pervy speak-a-pop. They could have tourist board posters of local scenes with slogans taken form Arab Strap songs, for example, a picture of a local publican pulling a nice creamy pint of real ale accompanied by the words "Falkirk - and then she wanked me off", or the local vicar standing in fornt of the church "Falkirk - it was the biggest cock you've ever seen", or a photo of a local middle aged couple indulging in a spot of foreplay "Falkirk - and then I fiddled with her bits". I think it's a winner, but I'd never mention it in public. I'm dead jealous because Keith went to see Money Mark. I think he's just lovely. If the Wu Tang Clan have really got a beauty parlour it must be a cunning front for a pornographic prostitution gun running ring or something, like that one Duglas BMX Bandit runs in Glasgow. I think that's more than enough from me. I'm sure there were other things to answer..oh yes, thanks Paul Pish for clearing up a couple of my doubts. I have many more. Adrian, isn't it time for a dead animal update? I saw a dead dog this morning, it didn't half make me jump - twice, once when I passed it for the first time and then again on my way back. I've been for a nice long walk you see. In the rain, because I'm a Belle and Sebastian fan. On acid. Who's been fucking foxes? And why did they talk to Keith about it?

I wasn't trying to say that all B&S fans are dispossed/alienated/disfuntional people(far from it, most of the listees I've met so far seem almost supernaturaly sorted.) just that anyone who does feel intimidated about meeting us shouldn't because I'm guessing that we're all pretty friendly, accepting people. I certainly don't consider myself a "stereotypical" B&S fan, my musical tastes are pretty eclectic and I certainly don't just sit under trees reading poetry and stuff....... Oh bugger it. Everybody just turn up. You know you want to. Stay lucky, Roryxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tigermilk + famous people!
by ELIZABETH DAPLYN 01 May '98

01 May '98

Ha! I'm as smug as a very smug thing today. And do you want to know why, children? Well I'm going to tell you anyway: I went over to the hellhole that is Gravesend last night to view the multimedia (please excuse the entirely innacurate hyperbole) extravaganza that is Lee & Herring on tour. People outside the UK will not know of this fine comedic duo, but rest assured it was quite funny. Anyway, afterwards I presented Mr. Stewart Lee (who is also a part-time music journalist and a man of good musical taste) with a tape copy of Tigermilk. He was very very happy, and told me that he once heard it playing in a shop, but that they refused to sell it to him. And I walked off into the night giggling with my friend. Hurrah! Altruism is a fine thing. Bye, Liz. *********************** silence .is a looking bird: the turn ing; edge, of life (inquiry before snow e.e.cummings ************************ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

by Johnston, John CT 01 May '98

01 May '98

I think todays the day to wish listee-and-one-time-poll-correspondent Nick Dastoor a happy birthday (apologies Nick if I'm wrong). Arabest! Songs you shouldn't like....."As long as you love me" by the Backside Boys - I can't explain it. Hope the Social is a barnstorming success - I can't come this week but I promise to come next time. Looking forward to the picnic, I shall spend the weekend baking biscuits and waxing my frisbee. And praying for better weather - it's grim and cold at the mo. I'm comming and I don't know anyone - come and be my friend.... kisses John ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: God made me funky
by Keith Watson 01 May '98

01 May '98

Had an ace night in Glasgow last night seeing Money Mark, he ruled - at least for the most part. He tried a few guitar tunes that didn't quite come off - the songs weren't very good. On the other hand, when he was funky he was very funky indeed. Hello to all the chums who were there too. On the advice of Mr.Steve Voeks, I bought the Massive Attack single today which rules, and also a new Blaxploitation compilation which totally rules too - I bought that one by accident, but it was a great buy. I'm actually fighting for things to say here - the list's gone really quiet at the moment. Even RoDDdNNneYY isn't talking so much. Well I guess everyone's geared up for this London soiree this weekend, I'm sorry I can't be there, but it's on a Monday which means it's impossible - unless I want the sack. However I will look forward to going to one of the Bluesoda Socialist Worker's meetings in maybe a couple of months. MILLER, I can confirm that Ooooooooon in fact does not look like Yul Brynner - but that the bloke who drove our bus across to glasgow did! I saw a picture of Oooooooooon at Christmas time though at Paul's flat, and the scene is indeed reminiscent of the King and I. Big Andy! Were you on internet chat the other day talking to my internet virtual-robo-cyber chums? They told me someone came on as Bg Bouzer and claimed to be a friend of mine - I'm assuming this was in fact you. Anyway Andy, give us a call to go out for a drink some time. Oh well, that's another large load of nothing said for now, Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I came back from holiday last week to be told that the division of the firm I work for is being relocated to Birmingham, and they are shutting down the Edinburgh interest. I would of course have the option of moving to Birmingham. But, well, arse to that, actually. However, apparently because me and two others were taken on for a three year contract, and have worked less than 18 months of that, we will get a nice settlement package. Hoorah. Anyhow. Sorry to hear you're going. Just make sure an resubscribe when you get yerself sorted. Andy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
