Hey sinisterines, you all seem to have gone quiet of late... I hope there's not some evil robot from the future tracking down and systematically killing us all from honey's membership list. Anyway, I'm here to tell you all about the thing that was on TV over here last night called 'Shooting The Past' - and I know this probably isn't the place to go on about some TV programme, but it was the best thing on since the singing detective, and that was 15 years ago. I could be exaggerating but I don't think so... Anyway, superficially it was about the closure of a photo library (B&S points there) but underneath, well... Let's just say that when it finished I swore to anyone listening (i.e. nobody but that's not the point) that I would rather die tomorrow than waste my life in the pursuit of money. And I sat down and wrote more than I've done in the last month. I really reccomend it. Except half of you can't see it. Humph. In the less real world my new guestbook fucked up big time and had to be reset, so if you wrote anything, *sorry* and please go back again. Plus today I finished putting up the first issue of my tawdry zine so if you want to see that... you'd better be a bit of a Pulp enthusiast. Some people were talking about the incredible string band... excellent stuff. Especially that song about the magic hedgehog that goes "you learnt all the words / and you followed the tune / but you never quite learned the song she sung" which is just beautiful. I think that's on the 'Thousand spirits or the layers of the onion' album with the one about the happy cloud. I like the stuff up until they gave up drugs and joined the scientologists. Apparently one of them is now the mayoress of aberystwyth. Ah, you're better asking my dad about them. Hello to all the newcomers too - especially one who hasn't announced her presence... Feel free to in your own time.... I have a stupid urge to listen to 'Fantastique No.5' by Plastic Fantastic, but I left it at HOME home which is more than just annoying. Ah well, I think I'll retire to my flat and eat a tin of strawberries. Have fun y'all. james. James@twopounds.u-net.com Go on, what are you frightened of?
