or why I love this list.... 1. I've just got 'meat' samosa all over the computer screen after laughing so much at Tag's last mail while having my lunch. I'm still giggling now and I've started on my Ribena, by thunder I could short circuit the whole place if I'm not carefull. But anything that can do that to me at work has got to be A Good Thing. 2. It makes me listen to other people 3. It makes me listen to more B&S and more than B&S. On a B&S point, I can't stop listening to Photo Jenny and Century of Elvis. I've just made a tape that runs those two into Speed of Light by the Fannies and I listen to it on the way home quite overwhelmed by opportunites for loveliness and beauty that our humble lives afford us. But I never used to be keen on either of those two songs, just one day I was listening and they struck something new inside me. it reminds me of my love of e.e.cummings. I have two little books of his poems and I adore his stuff. Not all of it; I reckon it's like life - most of it doesn't make sense, some of it is rubbish but then come bits that are so beautiful that it makes up for everything else. And whenever I flick through those books I find new bits. Poems I've looked at a hundred times may suddenly 'speak' to me. I read one that made me cry last week that has never meant anything to me before. It starts "in time's a noble mercy of proportion" and I ought to stick it up on my website at my earliest. B&S are like that for me, I'm still finding new treasures in an admittedly still small pool; long may it continue. the faith? I'm keeping it. john xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
