Daerest Busty List Petridish, via Sister Disco, sed: "Say a word against the Scottish septet in print and they launch kamikaze raids on your inbox and write letters to your editor in cat's blood." Come on, Lexi, you know we only deal in fwuffy kittens round these parts. Way back, I went to see Belle and Sebastihen's Tuesday gig at the ABC in Glasgow with Ailsa nee Ross and somebody even taller than Big Stu who used to be on the list for a very short time a very long while ago. Ailsa and I thought it was very strange that we didn't know anyone there. We searched and searched for upside-down badges and friendly faces, but no luck (rants about picnics, meet-ups and Ye Olden Tymes for a couple of paragraphs, then thinks better of it and deletes it all). Oh, we did see Stephen Pastel, though. THEN, when the gig ended, we realised that there was a bit for VIPs upstairs and who should come down those stairs but some dead snooty types eg. Chrys and Julya Lynyrd, "Crazylegs" Keith Watson and Patrick Municipool! We comforted ourselves with the knowledge that we were down with the real fans, even if half of them looked like they were only there because they quite like that one at the end of Teachers. Should I say something about the actual, like, music? OK, then. It was rather good. They are 'tight' these days and also 'in tune'. They did a lot of songs off IYFS, presumably because they were still well rehearsed from the album gig in London. Actually, there was a lot of old stuff and the new stuff was good too. Only one I wasn't so keen on (sorry Stevie), and Stupot forgot the words once, so it almost felt like Ye Olden Tymes (rant etc.) Oooh, and we stood under Europe's Largest Glitterball. It was kind of dazzling and also very big, as you'd expect, I suppose. When the lights went down a bit, you could see the whole crowd reflected in its little squares. It made me feel a bit misty, or maybe that was the booze from the ABC's amazing bottle bar (really, they do have an excellent selection. I mean it!) In other news, I have a new job, and they are sending me to India! And my vaccinations are making me feel like I've been hit by a truck. Poor old ...
