Trousers! Call the cops! Someone's using my drag queen name! Are we still having listee of the month awards? If so, I vote for Cynthia. I'd kind of overlooked her in the past, but I can assure you it won't happen again. Cynthia is obviosuly a wonderful, warm-hearted human being with a keen appreciation of the true essence of Belle and Sebastian. Cynthia, I salute you. How long is long endurance? Lazy Line Painter Jane? The Rollercoaster Ride? I can just about manage Simple Things at a push if I've been taking my vitamin tablets properly. Anne wrote: Going back to Divine mix tapes - Peter, you've got nothing to worry about. The northern soul ones (called "Soul time", and inventively "Soul time again") are very good, but they aren't mixed because there's not a lot of point mixing old records that tend to have a proper start and finish, not like some of that new-fangled dance music. Phew! That's a relief. My tape will consist almost entirely of Kent compilations, but fortunately some of them are disc-dubbed, so they sound pretty shit anyway. I shall call my tape "Oh No - Not Soul Time Again!". "Theres some grim looking badgers down the tut'n'shive, Peter Millers got a balsawood dildo..." My friend Sarah wrote that, no doubt gurning at the same time, just like JO DUNNE and her trademark star-shaped sunglasses from We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use it. Will I be getting previously unreleased Alarm demos? Speaking of Fuzzbox, whatever happened to my hero, the extravagantly talented TED CHIPPINGTON? Brummie's rule, that's why I like Denim. Who wants a go with my balsawood dildo then? Tragically, I can't think of anything else to say, other than to repeat the other Arantxa's recommendation of the fantastic film "Los Amantes del Circulo Polar" by Julio Medem. It's got distribution in America, so at least some of you should be able to see it. You'll like it, it's even got a bit of wanking in it. Welcome aboard Arantxa. It is a strange coincidence that you are from Arantxalandia and you live in Nottingham, and I am from Nottingham (well, not far away) and I live in Arantxalandia.
