Now that new gigs are coming up in Glasgow, I'm reminded of the most ingenious feature of the shows on the last tour. The band saw fit to intersperse Isobel Campbell's songs throughout the band's set. The result: convenient toilet breaks, or a chance to re-visit the bar. On the Isobel note, a friend of a friend says she is recording a solo album in Glasgow at the moment. Apparently she visibly wears a G-string to work: a nice visual counterpoint to that sweet, rasping, innocent voice. I'm currently trying to hire (or perhaps sew for myself) a fox outfit to wear to the Glasgow concert. (Well someone went as the Major in the last Glasgow gig...)If it snows (which is not unlikely)that would be a massive coup de theatre, and I'll be the belle of the ball. On a practical level it would also keep me pretty warm. On a less practical level it would almost certanly get me beaten up as I scurry back through Glasgow. And knowing my luck I'd probably get lost and turn up at a 'So Solid Crew' gig, or a fox-hunting rally... On a bitter note, why aren't they playing Edinburgh? It just seems vindictive now. They've made their point, Glasgow's miles better, ok we agree: it's time they played the capital of their home country. dougal _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
