Linda wrote: some stuff about Ice Breakers Thanks, I was beginning to think I'd gone doolally. No wonder you are so wise, Linda. 1965! That's unthinkable for me. I was born in the political upheaval of May 68, which is probably why I'm such a left-wing radical. And why I can't remember that girl watering the plants on the Double Deckers.

Chris also wrote: something about lacking pop direction without the Duke. I know how you feel. Since Duke defected to the Shalala flexilist I feel all at sea as well. Instead of enjoying his company and wisdom on equal terms, I am reduced to pressing my nose up against the window and reading the archives, an outcast from life's popfeast. You see, it's invitation only, and I didn't get one. It's all McMick McMick's fault. I want an invitation! I promise not to join if I get an invitation, but this indie exile is playing hell up with my lumbago. Tim Hopkins is the evil mastermind behind it all. He's fat, he's round, he represents the pop underground. If we must have a new Duke, my vote goes to shy retiring Keith Watson. Peter In my CD player: the theme music from Test Match Special on repeat. I bet none of you know who plays the piano and cowbells? Give up? Why, it's Isaac Hayes of course! Isn't that a remarkable thing? I knew he was fantastic all along. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
