Mmm Skyscraper took my name in vain, or rather took Talulah Gosh's name in vain. I couldn't actually figure out if it was a diss or not, but, y'know, being (affectedly) twee is just as bad as being a fake ANYTHING. If B&S make you want to commit fakery, then you're not listening to the same band (to coin a much loved inkie phrase). Bit anyway, Talulah Gosh? Apart from the name, they ain't twee. The eponymous single (best song of the 80s?) kicks so much arse, but more to the point, it's ANTI-TWEE. The Walter Mitty-esque protagonist is pitied but not tolerated in her little fantasy world. Maybe I feel that B&S, by and large, have a similar attitude. So, I'm drinking campari and watching football. Renaissance man or what? I've also been lamenting the void that is #sinister in the summer months. I hope all you ace posters are going to be back patronising our little chatroom when summer's over. "Patronising". A word I always feel is close to my heart. Toodle pip, Mark xxx ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
