darling list, i've been fully converted to The Gate now - i think i annoyed my boyfriend by humming it tunelessly a lot yesterday. and having seen isobel's divine shorn head, lovely coat, and general gorgeousness in Melody Mangler (god, it really is a complete load of toss) i think i want to marry her. okay, i am female and furthermore have a boyfriend, but these things defy logic. the whole EP nursed me through a depressed afternoon when i'd just been made to feel supremely stupid by my horrible tutor, and as others have mentioned the horns on Slow Graffiti are just perfect. mmm. i am not a musician in any sense of the word, by the way, and i feel left out. though i did used to write songs with my best friend when we were about 11, which included immortal lines such as: 'i've tried to forget you but i never succeed/why do you remain in my memory?' genius. now i just write poetry, and i fondly imagine that my lyrical skills have slightly improved. by the way, has the brighton meet-up been finalised yet, does anyone know? as in where we're meeting? only lucid when i'm writing poetry, archel xxx ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Playforth rap101@york.ac.uk http://members.tripod.com/~RPlayforth/welcome.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
