Cor ! September. September, September, September. A whole month and Ive not posted to the list. Sorry, The List. A very different agenda prevails in Sinisterania to the one I was once familiar with. Its all townies, upper-middlebrow TV quizzes and experimental syntax. Still, I thought I better crank up the generator once last time before Lady P and I retire to Cosy Nook for the winter months, and spend the gloom-hours in a fidgety doze or engaged in achingly slow games of Scrabble. On the subject of television programs in which unsightly children reveal their prowess at Swift Recall Of Absorbed Facts, does anyone remember "Ask The Family" ? Perhaps theres someone on the list who appeared on the Robert Robinson-helmed barf-fest ? If so - you have my sympathies. Talk about stigma. Is Richard Stilgoe still alive ? Is he, ahem, Still Going ? If anyone can recall a kiddies quiz show from the early 80s hosted by said beard-owner (clue: its not "Screen Test"), please write to me and your name will go in the Grey Ring-Binder. There is a prize for the suggestion most offensive to my personal spiritual beliefs. A beacon of good sense in a fog of lunacy, PJMiller said this:
Yoko's most recent albums, entitled "Rising" and "Rising Remixes" featured Wee Sean's group IMA, which must stand for something. I thought about buying them at the time, but thankfully I didn't bother in the end. The remix one has got a twenty or thirty minute thing tagged on the end.
I think hes right. There are some fine moments on the remix rekkid, notably those efforts from Ween, Tricky and Cibo Matto. And now SeanieSean is a fully paid-up member of Cibo Matto. Aw, how entirely satisfactory and cyclical and whatnot. Meanwhile, the mysterious "b j" wrote, more in Seurat than in Ingres:
His **** of the ****** is not so much second to my own, as not even second to my own.
I reckon he means "fear" and "reaper", folks. As the Oysters said - Dont. ThaiFact: "Yoko Ono" in Thai means "Cousin Lucas, the steely-eyed janitor, does not drink sherry". Hmm. Profound. Begob - heres me bus. Cheers. Mike na Gopaleen. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
