yes, according to the Guardian, B&S are indeed 'stars'. or at least Sarah is. how nice. the feature let the side down rather though, by proclaiming Drake's 'Hazy Jane' as the 'blueprint for B&S' complete career to date' or words to that effect. what dreadfully lazy writing that was... and at least two years behind the time. almost as terrible as still making a Smiths connection. sigh. isn't it fine to feel smug that you got all that out your system a long time ago? yes it is. Oh, and can i ask that anyone who wants to slags off my elitist fundamentalism with a witty irony to do so off-list. i don't think the other oldies could stand it again. keep the faith (but not if it's just worn to look cool) the duke. ------------------------------------------ 'what's the name they call ones like us?' ------------------------------------------ Tangents On-Line http://www.tangents.co.uk PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK editor@tangents.co.uk ------------------------------------------ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
