Hello, I'm still waiting for Keef to call me to discuss the Sinister Soul Weekender, and he hasn't. Hopefully he'll sing France Gall songs down the line like he did last time. I'd never been serenaded in such a way before, and I'm not ashamed to say that it moved me to tears. Mister Jake wrote:
I love cheese
So do I. Which reminds me of an interesting piece in the Guardian the other week which said (and I quote): "A pregnancy boom on the Hebridean island of Islay is being attributed to the relaunch of the local Dunlop cheese, which was once banned in Italy because of its supposed aphrodisiac qualities". It certainly sounds more fun than Viagra. Tag Senior, who fathered me, is from Islay. Mere coincidence? Dandy Warrender, Don wrote:
(Jackie) does another great song called 'We're off and running' and she was responsible for the classic 'The town I live in' which is one of the highlights of British (erm, maybe European?) girl pop in the 60s.
It pains me to say this, but John is right. You wouldn't believe that someone singing the line "et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera" could be gooseflesh inducing, but it is. Do any Glaswegians know anything about a girl group night in Glasgow next week? In an ex-RAF serviceman's club apparently, with model aeroplanes hanging from the ceiling. I'd like to go, but I hope it's better than a girl group night I Dj'ed at in Manchester a while back where the organiser harangued me to play Denim for two hours.
The only person I've ever met who didn't love 'White Horses' was Tag's estranged lodger Julian who just happens to be the DJ at Smile.
For a horrible moment, I thought that said "estranged todger". It's bad enough Trousers talking about my "chopper" last week, but I implying that I've somehow become removed from the old chap is a new definition of the word libel.
If everyone meets up in Manchester we could all go along and ask him for it, repeatedly. He doesn't like that and goes purple and gets very angry. He may even beat someone up, which is a highly entertaining spectacle - apparently!
I must admit, much as I deplore physical violence, the idea of a DJ punching someone, then rushing to the decks to cue up the next record, before going back to punch the victim a second time is a truly spectacular image. Isn't Ooon lovely?
