Introduction: Hi, I'm Peter and I'm 29 years of age. Today isn't my birthday, ha ha ha ha ha ha! I'm a part-time cabaret artiste and translator of tourist information, which you'll soon all be able to click on on the web. I'll even have my own little Union Jack! I'm just listening to my favourite piece of music of all time, a track by Gene Ammons called "Jug Eyes". What a funny title! I'm also one of the world's leading reggae authorities. Andy Dean Tribute: Thanks for sending in that interview, old chap. I've been waiting a long time to see it. I thought it made entertaining reading, and wasn't as much of a slagging as I had expected. I mean, the journalist came out of it looking a lot dafter than the band, whose jokes were well up to standard, at least round here. Stuart Murdoch must be well chuffed with that line about leaping into the driver's seat and speeding off round the corner, Bobby Gillespie would kill for a bit of press like that. Arab Strap: There is a review of our second favourite band's new album in the NME. It sounds suitably rude, and there's a nudie pic of that Aidan bloke on it, and an ex-girlfriend. I wonder if it's one of the literally thousands of girls who've written in to the list to tell us all about what it's like to snog him in Falkirk? Hmmm. Here's the URL, give it a whirl: http://www.nme.com/soundcellar/reviews/arab.html Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Hello peeps! Just back from the Easter break, so a few threads to reply to (actually that's not true, I got back on Tuesday, but it's taken me until now to get through the 600 postings while I've been away. Someone remind me to unsubscribe next time...) I don't think there are any songs that make me cry, however sad they are. Maybe I'm just hardhearted. The only things that bring tears to my eyes are happy things; a really good joke, or someone receiveing some really good news, or somthing like that. I'm sure when England score the winning goal in the World Cup Final I'll be crying my eyes out... I find sad songs don't make me miserable, they comfort me (at least the ones which have any effect on me at all do). Exit Music by Radiohead is a prime example. As for the happiest song I know, the one that makes me grin inanely has to be "Looks, Looks, Looks" by Sparks; even though the lyrics are slightly trajic, the music is just so cheerful I can't help smiling. Duke, is it your birthday today? If so, have a good one! (not that I don't want you to have a good one anyway, of course, but you know what I mean...) Sarah, can I join in with your cheerleading squad? I need something to distract me from my finals. I'll need extra-large pompoms though... Oh yeah, I had another Sinister listee dream about a week ago. But I'm not saying who, because it would push my sleaze score up ;-} I was going to send you all an ink polaroid at this point of what I did over Easter, but my film ran out. Is the London picnic going ahead in a fortnight? I'll bring a frisbee and lots of chocolate. I could probably bring a volleyball net & ball as well if you want... Wish I could get to the Glasgow one, but I'll be in the Netherlands with a coachload of student korfballers for the weekend, and probably too drunk to care! Oh yeah, and has anyone heard the new Superstar album? Is it any good? Stuart G (Northy, RIP. ~) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
