well everyone seems to be having a rare old time on the list of late... can't say i've been enjoying much though, and i've been hitting delete with heady abandon. i'm probably being the list equivalent of one of those boring old fuckers who still only play the same records they had at 16 when they're 32, but i do seem to only find time to read posts by the old guard. At least they make me laugh... Ah, kids today, they just can't cut it. Anyway, here's a few musings: Ethan Sincoff wrote: well, shouted rather curtly i thought, about a few things, and then added:
RACHEL IS COOL. SHE HAS A MARY LOU LORD PAGE,.... CHECK IT OUT KIDS!!
which made me think maybe the whole shouty rant was ironic. i do hope so. Anyone who doesn't like mary lou lord and who'd like a giggle is advised to take a few minutes and go read Everett True's humorous assault in his 'Hugs and Kisses' article on Tangents. URL at the bottom, as you regulars well know. ET also has a Magnetic Fields review, which balances things up rather :-) I do hope that Honey is getting well, and that he will soon be back amongst us, doling out words of comfort and wisdom. Tomorrow I am sending him the Fuxa tape i promised him ages ago, and i suggest that lots of you follow the advice of ms wagner and send him equivalent gifts of well wishing. i am tired and emotional and listening to Hash Jar Tempo, which i found today and which is divine. this morning i played McCarthy's 'Frans Hals' to about 250 15 year olds. later on they laughed at me. which is fair enough. the new stereolab packaging is very pretty. keep the faith, the duke -- 'all of our dreams are dying of overdoses' Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
