Hi All, Not much for me to say, so we'll move swiftly on to the Linking Part (ho ho): There's a review (not much difference from what's been said previously) of the Brixton gig here at xfm: http://www.xfm.co.uk/webClient?guid=19635&site=xfm&rs=xfm Gracias a Maria, Segundosdeluz' Fairy Godmother, for this review of our heroes in Lille: http://www.popnews.com/popnews/bsconcert/ . Salivate over Vicar In A Tutu & Sunday Morning, bootleg fans. Are you going to Report Back on the Paris show, Elena or Chris? Welcome back Peter, & thanks for reminding us of Looper. Their own web presence remains desperately outdated & rigourously limited to selling copies of the Thoughts Of Captain Peacock, but there's talk over at Merge of a new album: info & samples here: http://www.mute.com/advance/looper.html & someone on una otra lista sent in this info about a single to be released soon: "Looper, el grupo de Stuart David de Belle & Sebastian, Karn David y Ronnie Black, editan nuevo single, "The Snare", en Mute el 13 de mayo. El álbum, del mismo título, se publicará el día 27. Es el tercer disco del grupo, y el primero en Mute (antes estaban en Jeepster). El single incluirá nuevos temas ("Peacock's Tail", "Peacock's Appeal" en el cd, y "The Arrow" y una demo de "Peacock Jonson" en el 7". " BTW Senor Miller, some at least of Belle And Sebastian are desperate to cover your favourite band. Mick trotted out the bassline to Dazed And Confused again at the Edinburgh gig. Steve also played the intro to a 60's number there a couple of times. I though it was Fleetwood Mac's Green Manalishi but it isn't - does anyone know what it really was? Monica Queen played most of her new lp before the Edinburgh gig. She sounded like Emmylou Harris (& so did some of the songs) Her mate on guitar increasingly metamorphosed into someone else, so much so that I was just about to shout out for Cortez The Killer before they sadly left the stage. (As another aside, Neil Young's new album isn't anything like as big a disappointment as I dreaded it being: I actually like most of the songs & have played it several times. And still wish to again.) Another question, to anyone who has seen the film "Tory Spelling": is there anything in it that would have inspired Sru-Anne to think of an acupuncture theme for the soundtrack album cover?. Blatant begging/list abuse (sorry ListMums - beat me to within an inch of my life next time I see you, please). Did anyone get a good recording of lovely Australian chaps Sodastream on their recent UK (or Italian) tour? If so, please get in touch. A mutually beneficial trade could result.
