Hello the land of sinistah! It's been a while... many things HaPPeNeD! GHD my bleu prince showed his fluffy head again, Mark-o-C posted as well, and so did miss lovely fellow spinisterine Laura Llew! There some new faces around, some come in bright colours, some just faint away, others explode in the sky like verbal fireworks and dissapear... I booked my tickets for London, arriving on the 29th December with my darling Elena, if things go well, SpOoKy the DoG may be arriving with me and I expect certain listees to keep their promise and take her for her walkies in the park... I'm really tempted to start slagging holidays off, but I won't; not this time... I liked so much though what Pamela (was it?) said about smoking booths in big stores... there's a certain racism against smokers innit? I went to see BaXeNdALe last Sunday... they were absolutely GrEaT! I know some people in this list despise Baxendale but I do love them so! Since I've first heard them a year ago... I remember when my friend Dmitry brought "music for girls" and he played it in my front room... we started jumping around and, yes, we loved them instantly! I like their sounds, I like the playful way they deal with music... it's kind of ironic and it's kind of sad sometimes... it seems like they declare their childishness in a disarming way, refusing to grow up... and they're stylish, in an 80s, yet, mulet-less way!! So, on Sunday I had to drive for 240km to go to the city where they were playing... my friend's car broke down and having nowhere to leave spooky the dog, I thought that there was no way of me getting there for the gig... I went really mad about it... so, I called a cab and paid 1/10 of my monthly salary to the cabbie! The gig place was half full when I arrived with some friends... Johnk from this list was there as well and I spotted a girl with a 'if you're feeling sinister' tshirt on... I didn't talk to her though, so, if she's in the list, sorry... We got completely pissed before the gig drunk a bottle of vodka... Senay was telling stories about how she broke one of her teeth whilst Alex and Tim were fooling around with toy-speaking-trumpets! Then, they went on stage and none of us stopped dancing through their whole set! We were quite dissapointed that they didn't play "switzerland", but then, Tim came back on stage and played the song just by himself with an acoustic guitar... whilst images were projecting behind them on a big white screen "PoP wiLL SaVe oUr SouLs" and "gO EleCtRiC"... Walking around and talking with people after the gig, I heard a radio producer saying that Senay should be singing with the Osmonds!! And the night was still young... But that was my bax-story from last Sunday... "she always cries on Sundays", well, not this one... B&S context... baxendale started a song with a sample of "dog on wheels"... yes, that's all... My new friend little Johnn, aged 7 years old, brought me a bouquet again... this time was a bouquet of uprooted peppers! I could use some of them for BeAn SoUp I suppose... I bumbed on a car the other day with my scooter and I lost a little piece of its front... I bought a CD by Brian, a band I've discovered lately and I'm totally enchanted... they're early 90s and irish... I think... that's all... take care you lot... hugs Vel xxx ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
