Hello one and all . . . Ah, what a great weekend. First of all let me say thank you to all those kind and lovely souls who wrote back to me about the price of Tigermilk - there were just too many of you for me to reply individually, so sorry, but here's a big fat THANKS. I don't want to gloat (well, not too much anyway - my housemates are sick of me screaming TIIIIGGGEEEERRMMMIIIILLLLKKKKK!!!! at the top of my voice, so I'll only do it once here, I promise (although I s'pose that could count as twice, but nevermind :-))). Anyways, on Saturday I managed to buy the most unbelivably mint condition copy of Tigermilk I've ever seen (although it is the only one I've seen) (oh dear, I must have caught bracketitis off a fellow Sinisterine :-)). Kin Woo scribbled:
Also does anyone know what the deal with the "Mary Jo" single is? I have an old Select (this year) which contains an advert for "Mary jo" by B&S but nowhere else is there a mention of this. HELP!!!:)
Indeed, I have the copy of Select about which you're talking (the one with Blur and the Tigermilk review, I think) pondered this myself on many occasions, and have now come to the conclusion that it was in fact an advert for the whole album . . . unless someone who actually knows one way or the other would like to set the record straight???!!! Non B&S bit: Erica complained:
unless you're the jumping up and down jeering beer-boy types - yes, I mean *you*! that was ME scowling at you from the mosh on Wednesday at dingwalls, you swines)
Ah, how much I hate those jumpy-up-and-down-moshpit-y-people. Last night this really crap band played our uni, and a load of physic geeks (no offence anyone out there who does physics, but, hey, if you saw this lot, you'd call 'em geeks too :-)) jumped up and down, making the whole night worse cos they trod on my feet and spilt my beer all over me . . . At least I got to laugh heartily as the jumped up and down completely out of time, but that's not the point. Now, I used to think this was an affliction only bands such as the Stereophonics suffered, so imagine my shock when I saw the Happy Mondays at T In The Park (expecting friendly Scottish crowds - got a bunch of rude arseholes, in general, although some B&S/Smiths songs were played on the speakers in between bands, and Ooberman were fantastic, but anyway . . .) when people moshed to . . . the Happy Mondays. Oh yes. They then proceeded to throw their sweaty arms around me and ask why I wasn't joining in!!! Eventually, I managed to move to the side and DANCE, but RAAAA. How can anyone mosh to the Happy Mondays. Earlier on in the day, some freaky Placebo/Manics fan (two of my most hated groups in the whole world) had covered his face and hair in sun cream, resulting in making himself look like a right TWAT. He then moshed with about four of his mates to Muse (who were pretty disappointing on the whole), crushing this poor wee lass into the mud, and just laughing. Some kids then threw a liquid over them and started chuckling when the moshing twats acted like they thought everyone reckoned they were heroes . . . until they smelt what had been thrown over them. Usually I am anti-throwing-of-piss, but on this one occasion I was stricken with mirth :-) Ok, I'd better go now, so byeeeeeee, Ian. *********************** Ian Hatcher igh1@ukc.ac.uk rutherford jcc ents#1 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
