Dear old Sinister How I love it when the student types among us return to their free-use computers and the list explodes into frenzied argument. For the record, I own two pairs of mary janes (one red, one blue), a pair of ballet slippers (black) and several pairs of kick-ass ultra-high stilettos, with which I will stab you in various parts of the body so that you kind of resemble Saint Sebastian, if only he were patron saint of cobblers instead of Bartholomew, if you ever DARE to call me twee. Ive liked Ians posts and agree with Mr Hewitt that hes describing something quite right and legitimate, just with the wrong word. Would good, old-fashioned Sensitivity work? But reclaim twee and give it positive connotations if you must. Its been done with other words, after all. I am glad there is so much talk about people liking the Aislers Set. Anyone wishing to discuss the T-word with Miss Linton may come to the Winchester Club on October 17th for an EENOI (thats Extremely Exciting Night Of Incredibleness, by the way) when not only the Aislers Set but also the Lucksmiths will be playing for us. *Lucy gets up, runs around the room several times, jumps around a bit and does a couple of snoopies to try to work off the excitement* Id like to welcome Edda, who introduced herself by referring to virginity in her subject line, then saying I also do modeling now and then and I don't have a boyfriend and talking about booty shaking. I predict that before long her inbox will be swamped with shy boys asking if, huh huh, shes on Friendster. I like this girls style :) I heard Stay Loose at the weekend. Blimey! Its fantastic. Kind of what I wished theyd done a couple of albums ago. Kind of what Id hoped for after I heard Shoot the Sexual Athlete. Its got so much *sound*. Its so full it makes the other records sound a bit weedy in comparison. Well, perhaps weedy's the wrong word. Maybe theyre just a bit more delicate. Lets have a crap analogy its like Seurat got pissed off with pointillism, got out his big brushes and came out with something Rothko would have been proud of. Does that make sense? Sort of? I predict that sections of this list will positively hate it (not much of a prediction after who was it? did that Chu-style pastiche). Finally, thanks to Laurel for the book review. I will henceforth refer to Nalda Said as The Crappy Diamond.
