Hi Sinistaurs, WARNING: Long, ramshackle, going back 2 weeks post, lacking the sparkling topicality of the newsgroup. Michele wrote: Lest anyone think there is no B&S connection to T. Rex... our little batch of B&S admirerers in this area might never have been captured by them had someone in our local cd store not been a T. Rex fan in his youth. When IYFS came into the store, he noted the label name and said, "Ah ha! What is this Jeepster thing? Could they be like T. Rex? Will I be carried back to the days of my platform knee-high boots?" Instead of a trip down some Memory Lane of big-hair and mascara, he was awestruck dumb by our mellow popsters -- and accosted everyone who came through the shop door, forcing them to stand at the counter and have a listen. Exremely hard to believe, but I too had a glam interlude between the hippy & the punk ones. This involved blue stack-heeled boots (& plenty of twisted ankles), purple brushed denim flared jeans, & my mate Glenda making me up with lots of mascara & eye shadow. We both had the same shoulder length hair (hers blonde) & went out as The Glammer Twins (like the Glimmer Twins, geddit?) Lesley J asked: GRRRRR what does a Welsh accent sound like?? what kind of accent did that girl have on AbFab who played the dippy blonde chick? i loved her accent. i forget her name rt now. sorry / i'm interested by different accents. Starry Droolz recommended listening to John Cale: - for the best Welsh accent sample listen to him narrating The Velvet Underground's "The Gift". Sarah also said that The Word was poo & that repeating it was pooer. Despite this they did have some good performances: The Lemonheads' "Mrs Robinson" was great, but I suppose they'll only show L7 beavering away at "Lets Pretend That We're Dead" (or whatever it was called).* Mystery guest Tim "It Gouda Been A Brie-lliant Carré" P!O!Pkins wrote: I haven't the first foggiest idea what reggae is about. Except 'I Shot The Sheriff' by Eric Clapton. So he needs to be told that Chris Blackwell is the Saviour of reggae & is single-handedly responsible for preserving its purity over the last 3 decades. Oon was excited at seeing Star Wars, which I haven't yet, but I did get some new Star Wars Lego for Fathers Day, complete with a little cloaked bloke clutching a light sabre. She then suggested that Chris send a whole piss-drenched house to Trousers: that should solve the Post Office's deficit~ & continued by saying that she always dreamed about Struan in conjunction with bowls of noodles. She finished with a humpkin patch tale.........is it then any wonder that pervs will think her dream is about sex? Missed seeing that hoary old poodle rocker Daltrey's appearance in The Bill the other evening, in favour of stepping out with Sally to see Courtney Love's Hole in Brixton. Hotpants are coming back: the off the wall bass-player's were leather, I think, to match the F.M. boots, & Ms Love's were more like a big pink glittery nappy than anything else. B&S content? she also sported a pair of fairy wings. An experience. Antje made me sad coz here & in the newsgroup she felt ignored. I suppose this is going to happen with 1,000+ people sounding off to each other. I don't think one person can take it all in, let alone respond to every idea or question floated. So I don't think its anything personal, Antje. Tschuss, gluckliche Ferien, & hoffentlich sehen wir Dich hier noch einmal. Reading Sinister posts is now like watching TV for me, & after a while you get to learn what kind of programmes people make. Being a simple soul, I watch the news, (I guess thats you, Katrina) & the comedies/cartOons (I guess thats, er, all those of you that are funny). I tend to skip documentaries, Question Time & the soaps. Recently Katrina sounded down: everybody send her a post to brighten her day at the office & thank her for her hard work keeping us up to speed with all things B&S & with what's happening at Jeepster Towers.# Isobel. I don't know her well enough to comment on her temperature, as I've only seen her 6 times, 5 of which during gigs. I can see that it might be possible for someone to gain the impression that she's a spoilt little madam who likes to be the centre of attention, but perhaps its best not to base a judgement on such limited experience. Perhaps more worrying is her tendency to dress up as a schoolgirl for performances, and to lug over-sized cuddly toys about in the videos (makes her look smaller/younger), given that sensitive teens/twenties are going to fantasise & form crushes on her. Rob Halcrow keeps posting about Hot Tuna, & he'll probably be back, Same Time, Sammy Piazza, Same Channel. Unashamed begging: would anyone like to send me a tape with Lord Anthony on it, as I've never heard it? Its OK, really - I have ordered TWO proper copies of Tigermilk this week, even if they don't have any of those great extra tracks on them. Phew! What a monster post. And, as I'm prehistoric, maybe its all true! (# We already have sign for irony, so I thought that anyone who generally takes the piss should have one for when they actually mean what they say.)
