hello folks only me. gosh, its about a year since i last posted. then it was because the poetry parrot had called unexectedly, but now its to say goodbye, as i am going to have to unsubscribe due to chickmail shutting down. i daresay i'll resubscribe from another email address sometime soon, but in the meantime i can be contacted on splishsplosh@lostinmusic.co.uk so what have people been discussing? b&s not being as good as they used to be? well, no. obviously. but that is the natural order of things and as it should be. if i had gone on loving belle and sebastian as much as i did four years ago then how could i have found room in my heart for all the other great bands that have come along since? what is all this about ribena? and ribena being twee? how is ribena twee? surely it is mass-produced, corporate and non-twee. squeezing juice from fruit you yourself have picked in a field filled with butterflies and bunnies, now that is twee. writing a song about the go betweens is nice, but even better is releasing an entire album which sounds exactly like them, which is what indie types harper lee have just done. what else has been happening? free design released their first record in thirty years or so, and it was pants. oh, and talking of pants records, the kings of convenience took their rather good songs to a big expensive recording studio, pressed the big grey button labelled PANTS and hey presto, quiet is the new loud. don't do it kids, go to www.kindercore.com and buy the pre-pants version instead. will be at the picnic on friday, with a BUCKET of BOOZE if the weather is nice. bye, kevan *********************************************************************** FREE ANIMATED eCARDS!
