Hello!!! Okay, so that was a bit of an over-enthusiastic opener, but then again Ive just heard the new Spiritualized single on the radio. Its soooo wonderful. And have you seen the packaging for their new album? Yum Anyway, just a few things nothing really to do with B&S, although I **could** put some sort of contrived spin on it if you want. Okay then, I won't bother. Basically, the Big News is that tomorrow Im going to have a Big Scary Operation on my buggered knee. And Im scared. Im not really scared about the operation because the guy whos doing it seems to know what hes doing, but its the anaesthetic thats giving me the heebie-jeebies. Ysee, Ive never had a general one before, and the idea of someone knocking me out and all the rest of it just seems to be asking for trouble. Anyway, thats what's scaring me at the moment, so if there are any General Anaesthetic Junkies out there who want to re-assure me, go right ahead In other news just heard the new ShitSailor record on the radio, and Im being totally seriously here: he sounds like Robbie Williams. HE DOES!! HE DOES!! Next time you hear it, just picture Robbie singing, and it make sense. And now, a plea. Its a long shot, but here goes. Did anybody hear the Breezeblock on Radio1 on Monday night? Anyway, Fatboy Slim was DJ-ing, and he played a track called Drumbeat by Jim Ingram, and apparently its on the Respect label, which was a sub-sid of Stax. If anybody has this record or knows where I could get a copy, could they email me off-list? Please! I **need** this track! Oh yeah, Rachel CrnflkGrl0 said about not wanting to play B&S to people because shes worried theyd laugh at the high bits. I sympathise greatly, because I have the same problem with playing people the Tindersticks. Stuart Staples wobbly Vic-Reeves-in-a-club-style voice is beautiful, but takes a bit of getting used to, especially if all youve been brought up on is Robbie/James Walsh. Anyway, not much really to say at the mo I might be at the picnic on Saturday, but nothings for certain, because of the ol Major Reconstructive Keyhole Surgery on my knee on Thursday. Niiiiice. Well, keep on keepin on people Love Asm.x (aka Mini-Beans) ================= "Shut up!
