What ho! You know, comrades, some times you come back from a weekend festival of esoterrorism feeling like you've lost that spring in your step, that extra yard of pace, that giddy infatuation with all things P!O!P!. You feel like a jaded 30something covered in mystery bruises. But then you receive a cut-out-and-keep mini-Baxendale in the post, and find yourself legging it across town having received the last minute news that the Montgolfier Brothers are playing at the 12 Bar.... and all is right in the world. Thanks to everyone who has written in about ATP. I feel I have a slightly firmer grasp on the events of the weekend now. If anyone has any pictures and would like them displayed somewhere, send them to me, and we'll do a little photo-essay on the papercuts website some time. Nice to see Peter Miller emerging from whatever rock he has been hiding under. Matt Bianco, eh? My Sidmouth correspondent maintains that it was one of his schoolfriends that rang in on that fateful Saturday Superstore appearance. But he also tells me that he likes that last Kevin Rowlands record, so I'm not sure if I believe him. Talking of washed-up 80s popstars (Rowlands/Bianco - not Tim Hopkins) did anyone else see the news on Saturday that Steve Strange (the Simon Price of the 80s) has been busted for shoplifting? He was caught trying to nick a tellytubbies doll. In court he asked for a few other offences including stealing a Boots make-up kit and a lady's jacket to be taken into consideration. Can you imagine any greater loss of dignity? I look forward to reading of Marilyn's descent into the shady world of Pokemon smuggling. I imagine he would be a jigglypuff boy. Interesting to read of the the involvement of far-east gambling cartels in South African cricket. You must have made a mint, Ooooooooon. I might see some of you at the Spearmint/Baxendale gig tonight. I will be the one in the diamante hairslide.
