Yes i to am a fan of his books,... the artwork is as equally captivating
as the story between the two characters.
i recommend to the person who made the first post about this
artist/writer, to continue along with the story, and read the following
two,--"Sabines Notebook" and "The Golden Mean",..it is well worth
it,..seeing as you enjoyed the first. And some other books by him are,
"There Was An Old Lady", "jabberwocky", "Solomon Grundy", "The Egyptian
Jukebox", "The Forgetting Room", and "The Venetian's Wife".
Happy Reading :)

Just had a relaxing few days on the Isle of Skye (my girlfriend
has some relatives up there) and have overdosed a bit on B&S
(haven't really been listening to them for a number of weeks).
Made up a tape of IYFS and my fave EP tracks plus the surviving
tracks from my stricken Tigermilk copy. This tape was rotated
with Aretha Franklin in the car over 600-odd miles.
Sheer bliss!!!

Loop were around at about the same time as Spacemen 3 (Jason from
Spiritualized's former band) - who they had a bit of a 'disagreement'
with (probably the result of some fiction in the NME). The Spacemen
claimed Loop ripped-off their sound. They had 4 LPs I'm aware of:
'The World in Your Eyes', 'Heaven's End', 'Fade Out' and 'A Gilded
Eternity'. They did a cover of Suicide's 'Rocket USA' which was their
only track I believe sounds anything like Spacemen 3 - 'though I'm
sure they shared a lot of fans with them. I did prefer the Spacies.
I've still got the first three Loop LPs. At first they were
Paisley-shirted long-haired psychedelic space/drone noiseniks and
quite popular with goths and indie-kids (this was the late '80s).
They mutated into leather wearing miserable noise rockers (who only
the hardline goths and rock monsters seemed to appreciate).
I once saw them at the venue in Edinburgh and it has to be the
loudest thing I've ever heard in my entire life (bar the time I had
to stand practically in the bass bins through an Inspiral Carpets gig
during the Madchester craze). Oooh my poor ears.
Gawd, I feel my age.

Paige wrote 3/20: Just wondering if anyone out there has red the new Ted
Hughes poetry collection Birthday Letters?
Saw a New Yorker cartoon this morning on my way to work:
Two More Poems from Ted Hughes
I one new a lady from mass
who was sometimes a pain in the ass
every damn comma
was really high drama
but she was really a talented lass
Sylvia Plath was my mate
she and I went on a date
she learned how to cook
then published a book
and the rest is all up for debate
Cheeky, I know, I mean no offense to any fans out there.

In response to Pedro's question about band members:
Stuart M: words, singing (mostly), guitars, other little things
Stevie: guitars, occasional voice (but so lovely!), remembering lyrics. Did
Stevie write Seymour Stein?
Chris: keyboards, piano, organs, buckets
Isobel: cello, bass (rare), vocals (timid)
Stuart D: bass, funk, jazz, spoken word stuff
Sarah: violin, little blowy things, tambourines, heartstrings
Richard: drums and geniality
Mick: trumpets and horn
All of the band are quite beautiful to look at, and regularly perform as
models in catwalk shows in Milan.
Hope that's helpful
DAVID

i very much agree.. life after god was great (ink polaroid-ish, don't you
think?) but generation x was too.. hmm.. hip for me. microserfs is a good
mr.coupland book too, although the ending was kind of weak.. i think..

yes, manda rin's zine, -funky spunk-, is wonderful. i have the issue with

postage. write to:

. i traded for my issue (btw, any zine writers looking to trade, please
email me! i write a zine called -melt the snow- and i would love to hear
from you. non-zine writers are also very much appreciated)
one more thing..
i don't know very much about country music, but if you're interested, you
should check out neko case, who is the drummer for the vancouver band maow.
she has a solo record out on mint records called -the virginian- and it
features her doing covers of country songs. i've only heard her version of
bowling green (sp?) and it's good. she's received favourable reviews for
this record too.
ummmm, that's it
