Hi All, I've been procrastinating over writing this for ages now, so apologies for the mess that it will undoubtedly be. I share the excitement of all those who have got tickets to see Belle And Sebastian on stage, especially if its the first time (at last!) for any long-term fans. If Stru-anne checks the archives before May 7th he/she'll be hiring a gang of bodyguards ;) And if Pookie gets to see Belle And Sebastian four times in one month she will undoubtedly explode! My Brixton tix arrived recently as well. What does it say about one if the numbers are 0001, 0002 & 0003? Stuart's ancient launderette piece has appeared on the website http://www.banchory.net/belleandsebastian/writing.html Thanks to anyone involved in retrieving it & sticking it up (Mick?, Youn?) The fantastic Camera Obscura are playing another live Peel Acres session tomorrow (Thursday) evening, between 10 pm & midnight. Outside the UK you can listen here http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/ (click on Listen Live). If you should want more motivation to listen, then apparently the cutesome, toothsome Carey Lander of this parish is playing keyboards with them. Did you know that all of Peter Miller's comic novel Mucky Pups has been published on the web now? If you go here, http://www.badosa.com/bin/obra.pl?id=n121 you can read it online, print it, download it to MS Reader, do what you like with it. The climax of the last chapter gave me as big a belly laugh as the earlier instalments. Cracking stuff. According to http://www.antpop.com/news.htm the Ant album release date has been put back to April, so this month's recommendation goes to Mary Lorson's Tricks for Dawn, out on the 18th. See http://www.cookingvinyl.com/saintlow/index.htm or http://www.spinartrecords.com/bands_marylorson.html depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on. I was lucky enough to see both of Mary's London gigs last week & her music is beautiful. That'll do for now, I'm sure you don't want to hear about Sally, Cabbage & I hanging out with the guts from Placebo & The Wannadies.
