P.S. Hypodermically speaking, if I show up in Madchester around December 28-January 10, do I get a picnic thrown in my honour? I say yes. Our survey says...?
You might be in Luck there as that's probably when it's going to happen, me and Tag completely forgot to speak about it the other night, but Manchester just after New Year sounds like it's going to be the time that keeps the most people happy. I'm gonna phone Tag and discuss it with him tonight perhaps and hopefully we'll get something concrete arranged for the meet up so's that the people who are wanting to come along can... Just to point out to the new folks as well that this isn't a meet up of people who've already met, just a general meet up for the list and everyone's welcome, indeed most people haven't met in any case, so you're no worse off. Also Mr.MILLER, I had trouble even getting as far as listening to Superfuzz Bigchuff back in those days, never really liked mega shouty stuff in the past, much as I have tried to see what it's all about, it's never really happened too much. Although I do like the one on "Bug" by Dinosaur Jr. which basically has J.Mascis going "Waarrrararrhhhhgggh Warhrgrrrgrggrhgrgrh.... WAarrrrrrrrgh" all the way through it, I also like it in "Holy Ghost" by the happy mondays where it sounds like Shaun Ryder is shouting across to the bar trying to get his mates attention all the way through - a bit like "3 pints of lager and a packet of crisps please". Seb, I don't know what to say in that situation, although your touching plea for something to say has left me somewhat sad - it was like listening to Our Tune all over again. I've been trying to think of something, but I don't know what... sorry.

Some is Good. Some is Bad. Some is Korn (sorry!) but it's never been a colour. At least, not without some serious psychadelics. I seem to remember that the guitar part to "D'ya make her" by Led Zeppelin was blue, once.... Calumn, as every good scientist knows - black is not a colour anyway, it's merely an absence of colour. But jokes aside you're right, it has been done to death and always brings up the same old shite - "You're a racist", "No I'm not", "Yes you are, you said black", "It's only a word" etc. etc. Pity that's not what the original postings were about anyway. Beth - you fancy the Wombles! That's handy cause I believe there's a bit of a wombling renaissance going on at the moment with them on the telly now so I'm told and that Remember you're a womble song being in the hit parade. Nice to see the current Government actually getting to grips with the litter problem. On that note, has anyone in the UK noticed of late that there's really got to be more than one Tony Blair? I've just watched the news, and he was all over the bloody place, like all over the world - seemingly at once. Cloning must've come on in leaps and bounds.
