Of course not. They would be totally different if they came from
Finchley. A lot of great groups come from London, the Kinks are
probably my favourite English pop group of all time, the Clash were
great on their day, and nowadays we've got Saint Etienne and
Stereolab...but just as the Kinks could have come from nowhere other
than London, the Smiths wouldn't have been the Smiths if they weren't
from Manchester, B&S are a product of their environment.

Lets have a moment's silence for poor little London, alone and unloved
all the way down there, isolated from an uncaring world. With
respect, Mark, you're talking bollocks. I hadn't noticed a lack of
London letters, far from it.
Like most non-Londoners I'm sick to the back teeth of the London bias
in the media, the way bands from "the provinces" are even now treated
as a novelty. Look at how Manchester bands have their quotes reported
phonetically ("fookin' 'ell") as if any variation on Estuary English
is some sort of bumpkin dialect. London has had the limelight for as
long as I can remember, and you can hardly blame the rest of us for
saying "it's our turn now".
>if you don't like this place you haven't got to know it nearly well enough.
Maybe if you don't like London, you just don't like crowded tubes full
of bad tempered passengers, bad air, fashion victims who don't dance,
racists in the East End, stroppy taxi drivers and the overwhelming
capital-centricity of far too many of its population. Myself, I like
London for the most part. I like being able to find the records I
want, see films, to see bands playing. I like Covent Garden and Soho,
Thameside pubs, and Highgate Cemetry. And I'll probably end up moving
there. But don't get all uppity if they happen to prefer somehere
else.
Rant over,
Love Tag

Such foresight.
You cheeky twat. The match in question was a huge pounding slab of barely
shifting meditational tranquility, which was just what the doctor ordered.
My hopes of a Third World victory are still intact, what with Nigeria
looking sharp, Cameroon and Jamaica promising good things, and Scotland
still in with a shout.

well i for one do rejoice in slagging off london, especially as i've never
been there nor have any intention of going in the future. it wouldn't be
that bad if all the uk media wasn't so damn biased towards it; i mean, do i
really need to be bombarded with continual fawning over london when it
really has no bearing on my life whatsoever? Of course, everyones just
gonna say i'm maybe just a teensy bit jealous- damn straight and i dont
care who knows it.
but i also have no qualms about slagging off glasgow, manchester,
sheffield, bristol or anywhere else for that matter that recieves attention
while i live in relative isolation from the majority of goings on in the
country. I mean, where can you go when the last (v. unreliable) bus home is
at 10pm?
But still, london is the easiest target for a slagging, no matter what,
'specially as everyone there seems to love it and can't resist from letting
everyone know that they feel this way.
ok, ahm done...

Hi All
(Isn't it cool that if I want to post to this list all I have to do is type
"Sin" into the To line and Outlook 98 automatically knows that I mean you
lot?)
Anyway, in view of all the recent Lenny Kravitz approbation, can I remind
all readers of Evan Dando's moving tribute to the great man on the first of
the "secret" tracks at the end of the Lemonheads' "Come On Feel" CD?
B & S content = zero, except to say that I've turned two more colleagues at
work onto them. How about releasing some product soon for this market we're
all busy creating?

Glasgow (that's alternative as in 'actually quite different to most other
things you'll hear')."
This is a launch night for a split 7" single between El Hombre- very good,
kind of Fugazi-ish, John Peel favourites-(their song is called 'Like
Quicksand') and the Karelia ('Vision in a World Without Spectacles') on F&J
Records. Nationwide UK release on 22nd June (all good independents), 15th
June for Glasgow shops (Fopp, Missing etc.). The cover for the single is a

didn't know):

Tickets £3.50 in advance
Described by The List: "Glasgow's all-star ska band The Amphetameanies doff
their caps to 2-Tone with a little help from the Buckfast-swilling Newtown
Grunts."
Again, another launch night for:
Amphetameanies debut 7" single out at the end of June- 'Around the World in
5 and a Half Minutes' (F&J Records: cat no SHaG 021)- nationwide UK release

Highway Patrol') are on the website:
