well i listened to all of jo whiley's show yesterday and she didn't play the new single but then mark and lard came through with the goods. i don't really know what to think of it yet, very sixties (as has ben mentioned), very san-francisco-flowers-in-your-hair ish. i don't think its as good as jonathan david which i liked straight away but maybe it'll grow on me after a few more listens. according to HMV the single is out on 19th november and is called 'the season has arrived' ---=+0|0+=--- it was my birthday on wednesday (24th) woo hoo! 22. thanks to everyone who was in #sinister when the clock ticked past 00:00 hours and special thanks to arik for being the first to wish me happy birthday. so we went out drinkin' and dancin'. 1st to see my friend's band, theyre called 'neil, your bedroom's on fire...' which i think is a bloody good name for a band. then we went to see mani (stone roses/primal scream) DJ and it was bloody good. i wore my 'kill all hippies' t-shirt and got it signed! unfortunately it says "nice sentiment, taliban 2 usa 0, mani". i guess he's been talking to bobby gillespie again, eh? ---=+0|0+=--- one of the Rachels (sorry, carnt remember which one) asked what Nick McCabe had been doing recently, well the last i remember of him he mixed a track called 'B+A' on The Beta Band's debut ep 'champion versions' but that was back at the end of '97, just after the verve split - i wish he'd make a comeback with a new band or solo as he is a tremendous guitar player, but that might be a bit too much like the seahorses. but then again McCabe was never as self indulgent a guitarist as John Squire was so maybe it might work. Bernard Butler's solo stuff wasn't too hot was it, except 'yes' with David McAlmont, i love that song, haven't heard it in ages. ---=+0|0+=--- oh!, Snoozer mentioned recording one of the brazilian gigs off the telly, did you? i'd love a copy of that, that would be fantastic! ok that's all folks take care Pez* P.S. alot of people recently have mentioned how much they love 'judy and the dream of horses'. i always thought of this song as a bit throwaway and not really a song to end an album on, i much prefer 'the boy done wrone again' (one of their *best* songs if you ask me) so i skip past 'the boy...' to 'judy...' and then go back to end on 'the boy...' when i'm listening to the red album. so there. P.P.S. did you know (or 'pez's fact of the day'): since the harry potter movie is going to be called 'harry potter and the philosopher's stone' and 'harry potter and the scorcerer's stone' on either side of the atlantic, every scene in which the stone is mentioned has had to be shot twice, with appropriate dialogue in each! www.pez.com - the wonderful world of pez ;) ivorytowers.8m.com - ivory towers records www.drpez.com - Dr Pez, Spain's premier fish doctor (i think) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
