Hello Sinister... I nearly posted the other day while in a bad mood. Glad I didn't now. There's a thing called the New Seriousness - apparently the Old Seriousness wasn't good enough anymore. My New Seriousness was largely due to being sat around trying to kill my latest beer, Wild Turkey and hip-hop induced hangover with my current favourite hangover cure (banana sammich) and my current favourite album (How I Quit Smoking) while constantly assailed by thoughts of a summer well and truly gone. Bugger. It's all temporary of course. The hangover goes. The album stops. The sun shines. You find yourself among friends and you make them fried bananas with sugar and cinnamon. Bananas are good. Re: subject line. The album liner notes credit this song to an 'unknown Egyptian, c. 1990 B.C.' I'm intrigued. Anyone got any info?? I've won some art! Courtesy of Damien Hirst and that fine publication The Idler ( http://www.idler.co.uk ). Apparently it's a painting rather than any sort of gigantic sculpture or pickled livestock. This is good cos I don't have the space for a dead shark in my flat. Can't wait! Laura and Vel are planning to release cupid. Good thing. Despite what that Murdoch chap said, there really isn't enough love right now and the poor blighter's been shut in that basement too long at the mercy of the spinisterines. Hope its not too late to save the World. Thanks to those who Reported Back on the LondonIndieUSA do and congrats on raising all that cash. What a lovely bunch of people you lot are. Wish I could've gone :( Robster ____________________________________________________________ Nokia Game is on again.
