Hello all. My, it *is* quiet round here at the moment, isnt it? Ill brighten things up. Maybe. Well, prolly not, but Ill amuse myself for 20 minutes or whatever by writing this. Firstly, a request Im currently in the midst of making a mix-tape for a friend of mine. The theme for the tape is lyrical genius, ie songs which have just absolutely amazing lyrics. Its not about the tunes, its just about the words. Obviously the songs have to be good songs, which therefore needs them to have good tunes, but the songs **must** have lyrics that blow you away/lyrics that move you/lyrics that are socially spot-on etc. And heres where you lot come in. I cant think which B&S songs to include, and so I need suggestions, and reasons for the suggestions answer on an email to the usual address ;-) Theres been a lot of talk on the list at the moment about end of year polls. People seem not to like them much, so just to spite the lot of you, and following on from Asms List Of Top 10 Albums That Say © 2001 On The Back, I proudly present ***ASMS LIST OF TOP 10 SINGLES THAT SAY © 2001 ON THE BACK*** 1.
