Peter - where are you - join in the chatty fun!
Cheers, Keith.
Here I am, Keith! It's definitely a time for reflection, isn't it? Christmas is just around the corner and we've reached sinister digest's 100th edition! Congratulations are in order. I've been joining in the festive fun by trying to decide what my album of the year is, but I've come to the conclusion that I buy too many. I haven't really listened to any of them enough to form a proper opinion. If I could, I would vote for Led Zeppelin - Remasters, which has definitely improved over the years since it first came out in 1990, I think. I used to dislike Robert Plant's voice, but now I think it's highly soulful and emotive. The other day I invested in a Yoko Ono album, expecting it to be unlistenable gut wrenching screams over discordant guitars, but it's quite nice and tuneful really, a bit like Oasis. I don't know whether to be pleased or disappointed. I like Ivor Cutler but I'm not very familiar with his work. There's something about him on the Creation website. Makes it sound like he's done a duet with Yma Sumac, but it's an illusion. He makes a guest appearance on a Robert Wyatt song too. Two loonies together. I liked Susannah's questions for the band. For the record, I have slept with all the members of Belle and Sebastian, including the trumpet player. Unfortunately not in the same bed, or even the same hotel. Nevertheless I woke up completely knackered the next morning. My own question for the band would be "If you were a pizza, what kind of pizza would you be?" - Always goes down a treat, that one does. I've got to translate some crap about computers, so I might end up trying to pick some of your brains. It's about a plughole at the back, R2D2 or something. Paul and Keith, you're both computer geniuses, aren't you? I am going to make a concerted effort to join in the "chatty fun" this week, probably about 8-9 in the evening GMT. Ish. If I can. Bit tricky at the moment, even though my father-in-law, Bela Lugosi, appears to be in quite a good mood just lately. Sadly I won't be able to make the Christmas day sad bastards convention, but rest assured I will be there in spirit. I buy Yoko Ono albums instead of Christmas presents, need I say more?
