hello all my cheeky cherubs... i've been forced to lift my head up from my lurking state to comment on tribute albums...hang on i'd better do this properly.... TRIBUTE ALBUMS probably the best tribute album i've heard is a spacemen 3 one that came out on rocket girl a little while back...it came in a black cardboard box with the spacemen 3 symbol in silver & it came with a keyring! these small touches mean alot to me ! anyway it features the likes of , bowery electric mogwai arab strab low & piano magic... to name just a few...i realise spacemen 3 may not be everybodys cup of tea... but this is a very good album ...well thought out ...& its always good to hear other peoples interpretations of a band that has obviously influenced them...which i think this is...+ a spacemen 3 keyring!!!!! what more could you want. the joy division tribute album '' a means to an end '' is ok but i was a little bit disappointed.( probably 'cos there was no keyring. ) BLAIR WITCHIPOO speaking as someone that got scared watching Carry on Screaming...( i was only 10 or 11 at the time but these things scar you for life ) i don't think it would be a good idea if i watched this film. PHANTOM MENACE is it my imagination or have i overdone it on the iceberg slim books ( currently reading Long White Con ) but principal character jar jar binks has the best pimp walk ever... B & S my grandmother thinks i'm in belle & sebastian..., being quite an open minded old lady ...she likes to hear what us younger people are listening to...and i often play her stuff that i'm currently listening to...anyway i happened to play her b&s one time...and she said '' is that your band my son '' 'cos she knows i'm in a band...i haven't played her any of our stuff 'cos i don't want to scare her...& i said '' no nan its belle & sebastian '' to which she said '' is that the other people in your group...'' she's a little hard of hearing ...well she is 98...so i left it at that...& she looked rather proud of me. if it makes an old lady happy what harm is done. anyway you crazy kids ...i've taken up far too much of your valuable time...for which i apologise ..., i may make an appearance at tigermilking ...i'm thinking about coming in costume ...i'll either come as : 1) Elvis ... ( Las Vegas style of course ) 2) jar jar binks ( depends if i can do the pimp walk) 3) rather sweaty postman thats just finished work... well ok ...it'll probably be the sweating postie...i work about 10 mins away from the garage ...& i won't have time to go home and change ...thats the reason i never went to the last one ...i finished work & i had a sweat patch the size of alaska on my back! so i chickened out. i'll say goodbye ...& i'll see you when i see you ... richard..,sometimes called ricky...,sometimes called ricardo...but never called richie. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
