hello babies being a) only just capable of speaking one language and b) fascinated by crappy attempts at universal translators I thought i'd stick the struan spanish interview through babel, with <cough> hilarious consequences. I'll not post the whole thing as Maria did such a wonderful job of translating, but here are a couple of choice quotes. "Fold your hands, child, you walk like to peasant' (Frotate the hands, chaval, who you walk like a paleto), its room album, when they have known the popularity (within its debatable elitist circle)... although a little quick-tempered person knows to ripen his cultivated British arrogance with abundant humor... Evidently, I hope that bandage million, but that depends on the public... Sometimes I believe that we look ourselves like The Band Beta" It's like fall lyrics innit, maybe that's Mark E Smith's new job, translator. Also the last paragraph where they talk about Beepster looks a bit strange, I didn't think the band had much to do with the actual running of the label. I wonder who the new jeepster bands will be... maybe it'll be a whole new world of shoegazing bands. To our greek correspondent, Joanna, who mentioned Souvlaki, i believe the Pine Fox was referring to the Slowdive record of that name, although Goinbl Yankagin (to give it it's correct spelling) is a hag eel-based delicacy from the Urals that i fear PF would have difficulty tracking down at any price, even in cosmopolitan Greenwich. Going back once again to Struan's impending 6 months off, my mother's got some hedges that need trimming and a pantry that needs painting if he's at a loose end, she's always saying she could do with a good handy man, and she could recommend him to all her other single/widowed/divorced middle-aged friends, that would keep him occupied, and earn him a bit of beer money too... xoxo CarsmileSteve PS hi to everyone i saw on Saturday in lun-ding, so, what's on this week ;) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
