yo sinister, it's definitely still christmas. chesney hawkes roasting on an open fire etc .... i hope you're all having a warm and cosy time. well, it's last post of 2001 time (for me anyway), so i'll keep it shortish: asm sent in his best-of-2001 list. respect. lists are cool, and i always enjoy reading them. i would do one myself, but i've bought hardly any records this year and those i have bought probably weren't even released this year. sigh. but dirtyvicar did get me the new Pulp album for christmas, and on first listen it sounds very good indeed. was the Mum (moooooooom) album released this year? if so, that could well be my favourite record of the year. perhaps. psi, wookie/louise and dirty vicar all wrote about the belfast gig, and i second everything they said (i am a peace-loving rener). the belfast gig was top fun - i met some lovely people (hello psi, james, ian, barbara, daragh, tim, wookie, trish, louise, grainne, mark, and the rest of the sinister get mental kru), saw B&S in fine form, and didn't speak to sarah martin because i was too shy. maximum respect to the bus people, who piled back onto the bus when it was all over and drove back to dublin. i wonder what the driver made of it all. i'd like to think he was forced to listen to B&S for the entire journey. david moore told us all about the glasgow gig. cheers! it seems stuart murdoch is intent on spreading that rumour about the perspex bass having once belonged to phil lynott, bless him. you know what, though? i think mick cooke is the real thin lizzy fan in B&S. you should have seen him doing The Boys Are Back In Town .... hang on, you did. i think i'll go home now and have some mince pies. i hope you all have a lovely new year's eve, whatever you're up to (if i was in london i'd definitely go to T&F. you lucky londoners) here's to 2002! rener ===== "Those are my principles.
