7. "sTop (the love you save)" - Madder Rose version Mark! Well done! Anyone else love Madder Rose? I saw them last year, and
Mark Casarotto Wrote... they were... ...oooh, so good! (but my friends hated them) Does anyone know about their new / not very new anymore album? I cant find it anywhere. But..... enough top 10s already! You dont all want to end up like the characters in Nick Hornby's 'High Fidelity' do you? Anyway, while I'm on the subject of fiction, I've just been reading 'His Masterpiece' by Emile Zola and I've found this paragraph whose relevance to the modern music press is uncanny: 'No doubt, public stupidity is boundless, and I am quite willing that you should trade on it. Only I remember the first starts that we old fellows had. Dash it! We were not spoiled like that, I can tell you. We had ten years' labour and struggle before us ere we could impose on people a picture the size of your hand; whereas nowadays the first hobbledehoy who can stick a figure on it's legs makes all the trumpets of publicity blare. And what kind of publicity is it? A hullabaloo from one end of France to the other, sudden reputations that shoot up of a night, and burst upon one like thunderbolts, amid the gaping of the throng. And I say nothing of the works themselves, those works announced with salvoes of artillery, awaited amid a delirium of impatience, maddening Paris for a week, and then falling into everlasting oblivion!' Doesn't that just say it! Zola comes very well recommended from me (unlike Nick Hornby, to be honest) WeeJay - Manipulating you illicitly since 1979 james@twopounds.u-net.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
