so there i am, in the local MVC store buying a copy of Rebecca on vid for the duchess, and a Count Basie CD for me dad, when i glance across at the 'Christmas Selections' rack, and lo! i spy the familiar green glow of you know what. I go over and take a peer, just to make sure, and it is indeed the record by the ones we love and cherish. Directly beneath it was the Billie CD. I thought it was funny and cool. And for our american and other worldly fans who may not know who, or indeed what, a Billie is, well... i cannae be arsed explaining. i hate the Narnia/Tolkien crap. It's all fairy bollocks, isn't it? All those bloody elves and goblins and trolls and shit. BORING. Oh yeah, and you can take that as proof that I WAS NEVER A GOTH. honest, that was all just horrid gossip. who said that in the first place? some glasgow boot wasn't it? Probably Amanda Rin thingy cos i slagged her off, poor wee petal. I don't like the new bis record, but i don't think it's because of my gender, more because it's a boring record. I did dye my hair dark once though. It was Jamaica. I looked a tit, but this was well after i left glasgow so no-one there would ever know. Possibly. And so what if i DO have a Sisters LP? It's the gatefold sleeve you know... got it in Troon Menzies for a couple of quid a LOOOOONG time ago. But i wasnae a GOTH. EVER. Sad that Beth has gone. :-( i know how she feels, i've lost count of the times i've been on and off this list. Sigh. I love spotting movie or spoken word samples in songs... they happen really unexpectedly too. Like i walked into the Dram studio one day last year and there was the video of Frankenstein playing and i hear a line, and i'm WHOA! so THAT'S where the sample comes from. It's about safeguarding life and property. Thing is i can then never remember what fucking SONG it goes with. Oh well. I always try and stick some dialogue in my songs, although that may just be because i cannae sing. i am going to shut up now. keep the faith, the duke ------------------------------------------ 'all of our dreams are dying of overdoses' ------------------------------------------ Tangents On-Line http://www.tangents.co.uk PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net ------------------------------------------ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
