Hello All, A question was posed by Sarah Jane Philip:
And while I'm at it, in the new Select magazine there's a map of Glasgow showing all the B&S-related sights (the studio, the Church Hall etc) to help prospective stalkers find their way around.
why? whywhywhywhy?
Er, presumably so the next time I'm in Glasgow I can get my picture taken at all the appropriate places, to go on my wall next to the pics of me at Salford Lads Club and The Pastels' Bridge.
If anyone can think of another case of such a thing being printed in respect to some other band please tell me. Justification is needed.
You used to be able to go on bus trips round Manchester to all the Smiths' places of interest which I guess was kind of similar. Don't know if they do that now but once a year you can go on a bus tour of places in Manchester that have been in films which is more or less the same thing. Then they show "A Taste Of Honey" at the Cornerhouse and some bloke pontificates about it and always makes a joke about how Rita Tushingham jumps on a bus, tells the driver to take her to Salford, then gets off about 100 meters up the road. It's a good way to spend a summer Saturday though and there's always loads of foreign birds at these things. And foreign birds are always taking their clothes off. Or so I've been told. Anyway, since I'm here, what about that Nick Drake bloke? Dullard or what? I thought that documentary was shite but I did quite like the bit where some bloke said his lyrics never got passed sixth form poetry. Never trust a songsmith whose words are described as poetry, that's what I say. And why do all these "poets" die young? Did Tim Hardin and Tim Rose die young? Are they both exactly the same as Tim Buckley? I like to think so. I'd also like to think that Nick Drake was the poshest man in pop. The Zombies were quite posh though. They had 50 O Levels. Did Nick Drake have 50 O levels? I doubt it. The Zombies recorded "I got my mojo working" though. That's not very posh I suppose. Posh people don't have "mojos". I like the way Continental Europeans wear their ruck sacks at the front. I'm going to Continental Europe to watch them do it. Other things. I saw Stuart Murdoch's todger on Friday night after I followed him into some toilets. That was good. I wasn't really prepared for him elbowing me in the ribs and commenting "better out than in, eh?" but never mind. It took me a while to figure out what he was going on about when he told me he was "just going into this cubicle" and he'd be "leaving it unlocked". There's so much people on this list these days there's bound to be someone stupid enough to believe this. Is Northy back? I'm glad Rod's back. Maybe he could give us his verdict on Gwyneth Paltrow's breasts? Better than Kate Winslett's? Rod knows about these things. He has friends he talks about it with. Some of them are female. I saw "Shakespeare In Love" and it was bloody marvellous. Up yours "Saving Private Ryan". Up yours Delors, Love...John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
