I seem to think that we're missing the point. The cartoon B&S was on BBC. It was around the period of such highbrow cartoon series as Dogtanian & the Three Muskahounds, 80 Days Around the World and Ulysses. I always tired of Dangermouse, but never of such challenging cartoon series that were so close to the books. BBC kids programmes always outclassed ITV. Look at Trumpton! What an outstanding and inpirational programme. I wanted to be a fireman when I was a kid, not a white mouse that drove cars and had battles with a toad! I hope that stirs up some intellectual debate about childrens programmes rather than the obsessive Duckula fans. Duckula pales next to the might of Bagpuss!

Sinister: Melankolic

The Melankolic compilation was given away free with Massive Attacks new album. Melankolic is pretty good, esp. the craig armstrong tracks. In case anyone's interested, of the latest records I've bought, I would recommend Money Mark's album. But avoid the Fire records compalation, 'I wouldn't Piss On It If It Was On Fire'. It looked a good deal, about 40 tracks, 2 cds, for £7, but it sucks. In my opinion, anyway. It does have a Thrum track on it though. I'm really into The Lost Soul Band at the moment, after seeing Gordon Graeme play at the Queen Street Oyster bar a couple of months back. Their album 'Land of Do As You Please' is highly recommended, and is an absolute bargain at £2.99 from Fopp. For any fans, Gordon plays a solo set at the Queen Street Oyster bar, Edinburgh, most Thursday nights. John "hasn't posted for months" Stuart. The best joke I've heard this week: > Paul McCartney calls his children together and announces, "I've got good > news and bad news. The bad news is your mother's dead. The good news is > it's steak and chips for dinner." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Dolores Haze and someone from Denver
by Jennifer 02 Jun '98

02 Jun '98

Hello lovelies. Oh, the joys of Nabokov! Just finished reading _Lolita_ today....damn good read. At the back of the book I noticed a list of other works by Vlad -- included is _Bend Sinister_ and _ The Real Life of Sebastian Knight_.....do i sense another literary connection? Actually, all that mess about Nabokov was just a pretext to glean other information: I am looking for Chris from Denver. Jaysen lost your email address and he needs to plan a picnic with you. Email me privately and I'll give you his new address. Thanks for the bambini, HoneyPaul! joining the Arturan sect, jennifer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: duckula and assorted gubbins
by Boodle Boodle Boodle 02 Jun '98

02 Jun '98

thought i would put in my thoughts on the duckula/ dangermouse debate.. dangermouse obviously was the best because of the custard story when the ship flew off the page into nothingness...i remember that so vividly.. teh only duckula link is that one of my friends on my course *is* nanny. we'd been trying to work out who she reminded us of for ages and then suddenly (as if by magic) it dawned upon us - nanny! she is about the same size, walks like her, talks like her - hey apart from the fact she isn't a giant duck and isn't an animation stops her from *being* her... sorry i'll go now and try and revise for my exam. this time tomorrow it will be my fiunal exam EVER EVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVERNESS! piow bombard!!! chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Couple of bands I've heard about...
by Steven Jay Goldman 02 Jun '98

02 Jun '98

Hey all... I heard someone mentioning Solex a few days ago...is that only out in the UK, or is it coming out in the US soon too? Also, have any Canadian listees heard of a possibly-defunct band called Spirit of the West? I have two of their late albums and would LOVE to know what became of them. For those who haven't heard of them, "faithlift" and "two-headed" are both easy to find in CD exchanges, and are good, rocky, Celtic-influenced albums...=) Lolling in unemployment...;P --Steven ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
