I'm back with the intention of garnishing another post to Sinister with little tit-bits of information that I left out of yesterday's review. I'll structure this e-mail around Lucy's e-mail from earlier today. Lucy said:
DID YOU TAKE A MINIDISC TO THE GIG?
I didn't I'm afraid nor did anybody that I know who went to the gig. It was apparently a no cameras or recording equipment affair. Hmm. *Furrows brow*.
And what about the new songs?
Big John Shaft & Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It. Hmm, I've said all I really want to about them in my previous mail. However, I do know/remember the lyrics to Big John Shaft and will try to have them up for the list by next week, if by consensus the list approves.
Who did the whoo-whoos in Sympathy... by the way?
That Messr Jackson. He got really into it; doing the whole flailing arms routine and compulsory Mick woo-hoos. His guitar playing reached new heights; and, I contend that he should be inducted into the highest echelon of guitarists. Well, err, mebbe.
And did Isobel have a big pair of maracas?
Not that I'm aware of, but... During the intro to The Wrong Girl (where the kind of bell-y sound rings through the guitar driven lead music) she rattled a metal baton off of the metal leg on Geddes' Wurlitzer. Some effect, I'll tell you. :) I got talking to the band after the show. I don't know what the list thinks of asking for autographs but I'm a big child and thus felt compelled to do so. I got all of their autographs apart from the two wymmins'. Damn. Anyways, what they had to say: Stuart: Will the '...Middle Distance Runner' ever be released? Oh aye, definitely. Look out for it, it'll be out soon. Maybe as a b-side to the new singles. He had a big smile at this point so as to say 'Aww, your going to be so happy'. I'm sure the glint in his eye was a knowing look in deference to the fact that it is scheduled for a spring release as a b-side. But nothing's definite. However, he did say it's been about for a while now and it's about time they got it out. Oooh, Stu-art... Stevie: Can I have your autograph, please? *Coy* Eh, aye, sure. *Signs it* *Walking away* Y'know, nobody ever asks me that. My heart nearly broke there on the spot. His eyes lowered, saddened, the blinks echoing the murmured beat of a broken heart. Awww. Chris: I've met you quite a few times, what's your name? David. Here, have I no' signed things for you in the past. *Talking to girl beside him who hands him a phone number. Looks at it. Laughs.* Ha, 1690? Ah'm no phoning that. (I teehee). Richie: Err, aye, sure. Mick: really quiet didn't say much. But well, err, there you go. Make of that what you will. Thanks, David. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
