I bought ..Sinister in December 1997 and the LLPJ EP a bit before then, so maybe i'm a late starter too. I think everyone who didn't get the original Tigermilk release is to some, but i can't help that much. However, I didn't buy the last album because i was too poor, and people told me it was a bit crap so I got the new Mercury Rev and a Terry Hall collection instead. I'd recommend the latter by the eway, if you can get the one with 'Really Sayin' Something' on al the better. i would thoroughly recommend taking lunch inbt he park during the current spell of hot weather, but perhaps not queuing up in M&S to buy said lunchg first. apparently it's the same one d. beckham uses/used, but all there were were people in boring office clothes and we three, girls in trainers and 'go to hell' slogan t-shirts and we-can-take-lunch-whenever-we-like attitudes. Speaking of which, i was sent a job ad for a 'lifestyle assistant' the other day...they want graduates to book haircuts and collect drycleaning and arrange milkdeliveries for people who are too busy and important to do all this stuff for them,selves. Half of me thought that there was something vaguely immoral about running errands for up-arsed people, when do you become too important to book your own haircuts? Then again, the other half...the evil, corporate whore half...wishes she thought of such a pointless service first, as there must be loads of people in L*nd*n who are too busy being mockneys to do all this stuff. Then charge a fortune for it. ha ha ha ha ha. I think that's the difference between here and the capital-we don't feel like we constantly have to keep up. nobody thinks they need to buy £80 cheese graters just because they were in Elle Deco. Yet I'm going to have to go eventually... gotta post letters.it's too shiny outside. -gillian ===== _________________________ "Obscurism: The Practice of peppering daily life with obscure references (forgotten films, dead TV stars, unpopular books, defunct countries, etc.)as a subliminal means of showcasing both one's education and one's wish to diassociate from the world of mass culture" ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
