Stylophone fact: Rolf Harris didn't just lend his name and demonstration talents ( "Water..kids love it!") to the Stylophone, he was actively involved in its conception and development. Rolf has a long standing interest in experimaental music, as is shown by his involvement with Joe Meek stars The Tornados. So he's not just some wobble board playing plonker. At a concert during the ill-fated "Brian is Back" campaign, the Beach Boys suffered a serious theremin malfunction during "Good Vibrations". Luckily, a member of the road crew had been practising with his Stylophone earlier in the day, and immediately rushed it over to Mike Love, who made a few bad jokes and then proceeded to play it during their second attempt at "Good Vibrations". Unfortunately, he had trouble holding the Stylophone up to the microphone, playing it in the correct sliding manner, AND singing all at the same time. Carl had a fit of the giggles and Brian looked on bemused, soon to revert to his hermit-like existence.
So it's not just Belle and Sebastian who have problems with their Stylophone on stage. It can happenn to anyone.

Hmm, Peter, do you own a Stylophone? If not, maybe we could all save our pennies, so that Peter has a lovely brand new Styophone for Xmas, and we can hear his very own Stylophone mishap stories instead of Rolf Harris & the Beach Boyz... ...sorry, the stories are cute really :) I want one! Anyone got any good B&S promo ideas for the new EP? Outrageous, expensive, just eye-catching stuff, please mail the list! Cheers, Katrina. ps Peter, thanks for the gossip!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
