Hello friendly list peeps. and an _especially_ big hello-and-a-hug-with-a-snuggle to the Two people who sent in crush votes for me.. I'm well chuffed, considering I hardly ever post, but I've gone into severe detective mode, racking my brain to try to find out who it was.... go on, tell me... I promise I won't go all obsessive/posessive on you (unless you want me to ;-) ) anyway... a few things to write about... Someone was speculating on the specific gender of the listmomma Honey, (Quick apology to Honey - look away everyone else - I have been meaning to say "thanks" for your mail, but I've been working _really_ hard lately, and haven't had time yet. I'll write it after this.. honest!)... Lovely Linda answered this, but I was wondering..... why "Honey"? well, to answer my own question (and introduce a little low grade smut) I quote the first lines of "The Stars Of Track And Field" by a band called Belle and Sebastian (they're quite a good band) Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs Kissing girls in English, at the back of the stairs You're a honey, with a following of innocent boys They never know it Because you never show it You always get your way well, that tells a lot, doesn't it. Pertinent lines: "Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs" - Well what else is this list? "You're a honey" - Self evident "with a following of innocent boys" - ahem.... "You always get your way" - Mothers _always_ get their way. well, that's my theory. and I'm sticking with it. erm... what else has been happening? oh... the "Jenny Thing".... well, my anonymous crushes with (maybe) be glad to know that I'm still Young, Free and Single (well, single, anyway) as it didn't exactly work out as I had planned. I took all your advice to heart, was attentive, but not pushy and generally as charming as can be (I'm good at charming...) but she prefered the look of the 6'4" Shit-Brickhouse american footballer called "Chris" (nice looking, but dim) so. In a shocking display of vengeful bitterness, Calumn has demoted Jenny from "Light of my life, apple of my eye" status to "lowly worm-ridden tastless bitch" . It's childish and fickle, I know... but damnit if it doesn't make me feel better. Oh, the whole "in my CD" thing's great - it's a good indication of what people are listening to without having that (in my opinion) irritating ListList. BUT, that's not to say that you can't reccomend a good album now and again - like I'm about to... (did you see that coming?) SO, David Holmes' "Essential Mix." - Fan-bloody-tastic. why?, I hear you say, would anyone of taste and sophistication want to listen to a Radio 1 (so called) "Essential Mix"? Who wants to hear that much "bangin' techno-dance" in one sitting? Who could cope? Well, fear not, fey friends... for David Holmes shall surely rescue us from the dread Mix Hell of Dance. This is a fine (double!) album - It's got... Brigite Bardot "contact" ("connnntak") and, and, oh.. Marlena Shaw "California Soul".... oh, it's great. I think Select reviewed it and said (I'm paraphrasing here... ) "It's like a mix tape by your friend with the soul collection, and a massive 7" single fetish." .... or something like that. well, correct me if I'm wrong, but there are a few of those on this list.... Well, that's it. David Holmes' Essential Mix. A damn fine piece of plastic, and It'll fit nicely on one tape, for in-car-mucal-gubbins. There was something else, but I've forgotten it. oh, well...
