Do you lot get 24 hour Muppet News? Or is it drug-related? List rule number 246 states Thou shalt not refer to any post-"Get On Board with the Double Deckers" children's television on the list. Isobel is going to Rome for sunshine and horses. Why doesn't she get Stuart and Richard to dress up as a pantomime horse, or get a hobby horse and ask Stuart to run along behind her clopping his coconuts? I'll tell you why. Because The Gentle Waves have SOLD OUT. I bet they'll have loads of STRINGS on their album. They might just as well flatten the place. I had an Icicle Works album. On tape. It started with what I now recognise as backwards drums, or backwards bits of wood knocking together, a leftover trick from the legendary "psychedelic" era. But at the time it was terrible. Because I thought there was something wrong with the tape recorder and it was MY FAULT. Sometimes I think my upbringing wasn't entirely healthy. I think it was quite a good album, but I can't really remember much about it, apart from "my friend and I were talking one evening beside some burning wood". That must be where I got the idea that it was backwards wood being knocked together from. On the day when your technology catches up with my biology, I'll be able to download songs to a micro chip implant in my ear and see whether they really were any good or not. Those fishy psychedelic lyrics that Liverpool specilaised in in the early eighties are surely due for a comeback. Who wrote "stupid bint" on a Papercuts poster? Whoever it is will have me to answer to. Unless it was a poster of issue 1. Don't worry Erica, they're just jealous of your ten gallon hat. Fosca or Fonseca or whatever they're called fans will probably already know that there's a lengthy article about/by them on the otherwise excellent Tangents website. In an article about "the Stuckists", Duke refers to something called "The Tim Hopkins Weblog". Is this public? Where is it? I'd love to "log onto" Tim, although not in the biblical sense, obviously. MMMMMMMMM. I did a websearch for it, but ended up at the Sidmouth site. Looks quite nice to me. I'll rent a cottage by the sea... I've got a new record - "Jack Ruby Presents the Black Foundation". I haven't listened to it yet, but I just know it's going to be GRATE.
