Redifusion was a high street retailer in electronic goods they were bought
by granda tvs in the early eighties but if you go into some service stations
you can still see their lovely speakers with a funny * symbol in the middle
:)
my daddy used to work for them :)
Oh and Tyrozetes (spelling?) are the bestest drugs you can chewloads of them
till your mouth gos numb .....mmmmmmmm :)
arrrg why all these smiley faces? oh yes caffiene overdose :)

Hello,
I would like to clear a few things up regarding my previous post.
1. I wanted a copy of "Tigermilk" on tape. I was going to put it on a
recordable CD (this process apparently takes 3 hours !) to save me
having to keep it on tape. My tape player eats tapes and a copy would
last a fortnight.
2. It is costing me an Inspiral Carpets milk bottle (down to my last 2
now) to get it copied.
3. I was never intending to bootleg it at all. Merely recording it on to
CD as opposed to cassette. Is there a difference between different
recording medias ? Where does mini disc stand ? So many people have had
cassettes copied for them - are they too going to be threatened by legal
action by Jeepster ? If I was going to be starting a widespread
bootlegging operation (which would be hard without any relevant
equipment) would I really have advertised so blatantly this fact,
knowing full well that people close to the band are on this list ? When
I referred to copying, I meant onto tape cassette. I would have thought
a master copy on CD would have been better to tape off than continually
using tapes (I know owners of originals don`t play theirs often).
4. Finally, could I say how shocked I was when I got this in my mailbox:
"Dear David,
Please note that it is illegal to bootleg onto CD, and that if you are
found to be breaking the law in this way, Jeepster will not hesitate to
take legal action against you."
Not EMI, or Warners, or Polygram. But Jeepster.
Thanks, you made my day (not).
Cheers,
David (Feeling down and a bit disillusioned).

since you asked so sweetly!! (and offered to stand up for me against

1) what is your favorite animal? think of 5 adjectives to describe this
animal, why you like it or how it makes you feel. (doesn't HAVE to be
just adjectives, but description of what it means to you)
2) what is your favorite color? again think of five adjectives. it can
be flexible, maybe you have two favorites or whatever...
3) what is your favorite body of water? it can be ANYTHING - ocean, cup
of water, rain, shower... and youe guessed it, 5 descriptions of how it
makes you feel.
really the descriptions must be *feelings*, not just physical
descriptions. just ask Sarah - with her answers, all i really could
discern was that sex come easily for her...
and that under it all, brad is a very sweet guy (though very insatisfied
with his job) and he has a freeway in his front yard. Im telling you,

Hi there!
I will be visiting London later this month, and was wondering if anyone could
provide me with a few names & addresses of shops carrying Belle and Sebastian
merchandise (records, T-shirts, you name it). Names of other shops carrying
indie band goods/CDs are also welcomed. Also are there any good clubs to check
out for indie music? I'd appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks.
Karen

Aaah, the halcyon days of standing next to the Pastels at gigs! I haven't
had that experience since Dinosaur Jr downstairs at Barrowlands in 1492. If
my memeory serves me well, someone (not me) said "there's that spazzy Pastel
guy" thus earning us evil glares from his sycophantic herd of pop pals. Of
course, I could be making it all up.
One fine day I will learn how to answer more than one message at once,
cutting and pasting I believe it's called. In the meantime, Tim said
something about Spanish picnics in between raining insults upon me as usual.
Jolly good idea, who's up for it? Most Iberian listees seem to hail from
the Mediterranean area, Barcelona and Valencia in particular, and I'm in the
jolly old Basque Country. I therefore think we should make it as
inconvenient as possible for everyone. How about the Doñana National Park in
Huelva? We could play Twister in the acid-drenched radioactive mud and eat
tons and tons of contaminated peaches until we get tummy ache.
Staying on a Tim tip, I went to look for some of his reggae-mendations
yesterday. I found precisely NONE of them, so I bought Volume 2 of "Birth of
Soul" by Various Artists. What a lovely album it is. I urge you all to rush
out and buy it. Breathtakingly beautiful stuff, and an essay that touches on
the meaning of P!O!P! inside the lavishly illustrated booklet. I have also
been called a freak for insisting on purchasing CDs that last at least 70
minutes, preferably 78, regardless of their contents. I broke my own rule by
buying the miserly 62 minutes of Cappadonna's album too. I'm afraid I
couldn't resist it. It sounds pretty good to me, but then what the fuck
would I know?
I think I should warn you (or some of you) that I may be paying a visit to
the Emerald Isle of England's Green and Pleasant Land before too long. I may
get the urge to try and follow some of you about in person, rather than by
e-mail, although I doubt it because I am poor, but some of you might like to
buy gas masks just in case, particularly in the Scotland region of England.
Pish! Pish! Pish!
I hope you've all had a good listen to the stunning vocal abilities of
Paul's cat.

Is there one? I didn't think so - just the Park & Ride 7", which is

I first heard that as "I'm a balloon effigy". How cool would that be? An

ROTFL. Last night, for the first time this series, my favourite "Star
Guest" won. A really cute and bubbly Paisley lass (bubbly in that
non-irritating way which only west-coast Scots can truly pull off)
performing as Belinda Carlisle. YES! I was in heaven. (which, as I'm
sure we are all aware, is a place on Earth)

It's fabulously kitsch, and Granada have sold the format world-wide.
There was a clip on the Eurotrash/Eurovision show last night (of which,
more later) of the Norwegian version, where the host is an all-singing,
all-dancing loon who puts Matthew Kelly to shame (and who once got Nul
Points in Eurovision)
> Camcorder home movies can be so much fun for all the family.
There are only two reasons why people ever buy camcorders:
1) To film their holidays
2) To make their own porn-flicks.
When I worked in Comet, we used to have games of "Guess which category
these customers fall into".

Associated Rediffusion were one of the first ITV companies in Britain, and
they used to run a TV Rental company. Therefore, I assume, "The Man from
Rediffusion" was the telly repair bloke.
Of course, they now make aeroplane simulators for the military, so it
could be that...
So anyway, back to that Euro(Trash|Vision) thing last night. Anyone else
watch this? The Kenickies performed an astonishing version of "Save All
Your Kisses For Me", which caused me to have a dream last night about
bumping into Lauren Laverne in the Stirling branch of Our Price. As if
that wasn't entertainment enough, Banarararararama performed Waterloo,
wonderbra'd up to the chin, wearing wedding dresses, causing me to have my
first "Who's your favourite member of Banararararararararama?"
conversation since I was 9. (Siobbbbbbbhan, for those who care)
And watch, as I seamlessly seague that last paragraph into the closest
I've come to on-topic posting for months:
The Kenickies' new single has been reviewed in the latest issue of Select,
and in a hell-freezing-over style freak of probability, the reviewer
compares it to Belle & Sebastian (!!!). I quote:
"Kenickie, somewhat inevitably, display a new 'mature' direction with
their first release in ages. Gone is the shoutalong rowdiness of 'Punka',
replaced by a more melancholic sound with close affinities to Belle And
Sebastian - acoustic guitars, poignant lyrics ("I'm in pieces/Can no one
see it") and a glockenspiel finale. As delightfully tuneful as anything
they've done to datre, and it's encouraging to hear that they haven't
abandoned the 'la la la' backing vocals even if they have to pretend to be
grown-ups now."
Next issue: Kula Shaker in "very like Delgados" shocker.
Later, pop chums!
