Hello Sinister Yippee! A new album, new (and occasionally old) songs for the list to pick apart and provide thoughtful criticism on (or just complain that they sounded better live). More importantly, there's a new album title to pun. It should be one most punnable titles ever but the best I can come up with right now is 'Beer Atrocity, Legless'. Ho hum. Marianna said: "I can barely contain my excitement at the prospect of hearing the third best opening line in a song ever ('Ro-bert, your nipples are pert')" Being a muse is grate and probably a lot better than being Muse as it doesn't involve singing in _that_ voice and murdering perfectly good Nina Simone songs. Ken, Liz & myself were discussing the Manboobs song in the pub the other night. I recalled the endless sessions that dragged the song into being: Hours in a smoke-filled studio, various discarded chord sequences, early drafts of the lyrics screwed up on the floor, too much to drink, not enough sleep, arguments, hair pulling, cries of "Sprinkle some fuckin' fairy dust on the bastard!" and "No! Play _that_ fuckin' note!". It was all worth it though. Ken's reputation as the finest pop songwriter of his generation was sealed. Even though nobody wrote down the final version. Of course the other great RBD moment from the Bitchtits Sessions - A Woman Needs a Fish (Like a Man Needs a Bicycle) - survives and ought to be played during every RBD encore. Forever. Looks like I'll be seeing some of yous in Glasgow on the 15th as well. Hooray!
