I think Carsmile really should have titled his mail 'Ello, Babies', this time. The Harrison has a strange frequency in my life, this year. It seems to enter under one guise or another. It's OK, actually, I think. Carsmile, why have I, as always, not been invited to be a disc jockey, at your disco? It seems to me you have not 'carefully selected' quite carefully enough. Steady Mike and I would not have met without sinister, as we did on the 4th May 1998; so without it, not only no 'Milk Bar' ep, but Stuart Storer and Gary Bloom would feel much less well remembered by now. Crikey - surely this can't be the same Stuart Storer? He is described as a defender, but did play for Birmingham then Everton. It must be!http://www.hinckleyunitedfc.co.uk/club/pp/storer_stuart.html For symmetry's sake I had better follow that up by saying: for Blooming truth, see ttp://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=40&threadid=1524 - rereading which has just told me about the encounter between Barwry Took and Paul Morwley. The Morrissey encounter is stunning - almost too stunning to be true. It sounds like something that could definitely have happened in 1986 or even 1989. But 2007? Oddly last night I read Simon Reynolds' M interview in Bring The Noise, which is sufficicently longer than the one in Blissed Out to make the book worth having, maybe - and in this full take, M complains about high levels of taxation in Britain! He actually says: 'It seems like you're just not allowed to make money in this country'. This was, as it happened, exactly the same time, probably the same month, that Nigel Lawson lowered the top rate of income tax from 60 to 40 per cent. How did M feel about that? ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat? Check out tonight's top picks on Yahoo!
