Hello. I've been trying to compose an intricate and hilarious post for ages but I've given up and decided to inflict the usual aimless ramblings upon you... I got my copy of "Its a Cool Cool Xmas" - Grandaddy's opener takes some beating but then The Sophtware Slump takes some beating as album of the year (apart from maybe The Great Eastern) - feel free to disagree with me on this. Oh yeah and the Dandy Warhols turn in an infectious makes-you-want-to-jump-up-and-down-forever tune as they often do. And some band called Belle & Sebastian contribute a nice song too. Talking of Xmas: I try to enjoy it but it can get a wee bit depressing if you're a resident of singlesville. Ah well... at least nobody minds if you're hopelessly drunk at this time of year. It's recently occurred to me that I've been on the list for about a year now. I haven't regretted a second since I joined and I love each and every one of you grate twee/non-twee kids. Yeah, even you: The one reading this thinking "he can't mean me". Thanks for creating such a fantastic place, Honey. Here's to all the posts/gigs/picnics/crushes of tomorrow. *Robster* Looking forward to the vague possiblity of a new album and - hey? - maybe even a tour in 2001? Oh go on... ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
