greetings sinisterines..... excuse me while i let out a little bit of frustration.. AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! ....ahem...sorry about that but this the fourth time i've attempted to write this mail...i curse you in a rude way and shake my fist in your direction NTL..you may have john peel doing your advertisements but dont take liberties....i know everyone is probably sick of the festive season but dont you just hate wet christmases?..all the decorations in town just look soggy and bemused rather than chilly and festive...crimbo isnt crimbo if you all your fingers havent turned black and dropped off before you've had a chance to eat so much as a chocolate coin.... ...i gave a tall septic person a tape of 'tigermilk' and 'iyfs' today in an attempt to convert him...i dont hold out much hope though...when i once played him 'we rule the school' he proclaimed it to be "pixie bollocks"...i dont fully understand what he meant but it is rather a good description when you think about it....i am quite proud to be a lover of pixie bollock music...... ...i had some fantabyolouswonderful news this week....i have joined a band!......i was in one before called Miss Marple but we never practiced,nobody could sing and the single acoustic guitar snapped in half after a drunken fall....so that was a bit of a non-starter....this band is called Monkey Wah Wah and they are genuinly fantastic...i'm playing drums for them and had a practice with the guitarist/singer on Friday....and on Monday i went to see them play and i can safely say it was the most surreal and exciting thing i have seen in live music in Swindon for oh such a long time....but when you consider that the most exciting event before that was the famous day ocean colour scene came to town its not such a great acheivement...but they were still wow.....if you imagine the velvet underground had made ash's 1977 thats what they sound like ( i could work for the nme couldnt i?.... or maybe not)...but the icing on the cake was the german porn star compere called Jurgen Milkfloat....decked out in medallions and snakeskin leather trousers he announce each band with throaty groans and gratioutous crotch grabbing....and every now and again he would peform a song of his own to a cheesy eighties synth backing....it was hard to make out the precise lyrics but one song went along the lines of "OOOHHHH!!! SHE WAS LIKE A RIPENED PEACH!".. the evening ended with Monkey Wah Wah's singer beating his decrepid guitair against the amp,the violinist looking ice-queen like and very alluring and Jurgen himself attempting to match his saturday night fever style wiggles to the onslaught of noise coming from the stage....i am extremely glad i've joined....but a bit scared.....heheheheh..... .... its goodbye from me until after christmas so i'm giving everyone on the list a big snog under the misletoe whether they like it or not......no dont run away!!...just a peck then??..... ta ta!! PS : i've just read this back and decided to leave the spelling of 'septic' in...it sounds better....like a fifties b movie...." ATTACK OF THE SEPTIC MAN ".....ahem..... PPS : that subject lines a recipe for scandal if ever i saw one....bubye!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
