Over two nights we listened to sixty-nine songs. Some were old favourites that hung in the air like the family wash on a breezy day. The wallflowers of the album pulled their gladrags from the wardrobe, put on a bit of slap and sparkled. Laughter at lyrics took me by surprised and left me feeling slightly puzzled, like friends laughing at Grandad's favourite joke. I left it until the new year to buy tickets, but in the end I'm glad I couldn't go when I'd wanted to. Spending Saturday Night with the Magnetic Fields seems somehow incongrous. Occasional bouts of nerves, the odd mistiming between singer and musician, a giant Portugese lemon and away on the District Line for work the next morning. Perfect. Well, the people on this list are no strangers to smut, but it looks like Starry has outstripped us all with her particular brand of filth. Well done my dear. My bra is meagre in comparison to Isobel's headscarf. I am tempted to reveal the identities of the listees who confessed their single-handed approach to brassiere removal and those who stuck up for the fumblers of this world but... well, that would be wicked. Your blushes are spared, my lovelies. I will, however, divulge that one gentleman sent me detailed instructions on How It's Done and it appears that in general, the list prefers doing it with one hand rather than two.

Nick, sweetie, I'm worried about what you've been doing to our freezer. Electrical appliances and dripping water in close proximity could do you no end of damage. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
