hello folks, << IF YOU CAN TALK ABOUT YES THEN I CAN TALK ABOUT PIGEONS >> rescued a pigeon last week. it wasn't a very daring rescue. i got home and there was a pigeon on the doorstep. i opened the door and the pigeon walked into the house. i think it had just been hit by a car or something, but it was only stunned and the rspca thought it would be ok. amanda reckons that pigeons are diseased vermin and made me scrub the house with disinfectant. << IF YOU CAN TALK ABOUT YES THEN I CAN TALK ABOUT URIAH HEEP >> there's this track by the john schroeder orchestra featuring an uncredited vocalist who sounds very much like dave byron - the original vocalist with crap 1970s heavy metal band uriah heep. as part of my ongoing research into the life and times of john schroeder i emailed the uriah heep website to try and find out if it really is the late hippy metaller. the uriah heep website is run by a very helpful chap, and he forwarded my question on to the band. i have now received a reply from mick box, hairy guitarist and sole remaining member of the original line up of uriah heep. this is what the man with the cheekiest grin in rock said: "I have no idea..Sorry mate, Mick Box." more uriah heep later. << IF YOU CAN TALK ABOUT YES THEN I CAN TALK ABOUT STUART DAVID >> i hope this doesn't mean that paper boat will never be released. will anyone be able to tell the difference between a "part time" member of the band and a "full time" member of the band who hides at the back and doesn't turn up half the time anyway? i'm not suggesting that it's not a shame or anything, but personally i'm looking forward to more low slung bass action from struan now. << IF YOU CAN TALK ABOUT YES THEN I CAN TALK ABOUT KEVIN BACON >> a couple of weeks ago someone asked about a musical version of the degrees of kevin bacon thing (looked in the archive but couldn't find the message). anyway, if you wanted to link b&s to other bands there are a couple of good places to start. as recently mentioned stevie sometimes plays with the bill wells octet, as do members of such bands as the pastels. even better, mick played on a record by mojave 3 also featuring the prolific pedal steel player bj cole. bj cole has appeared on more records than anyone else in history, even a 1970s uriah heep record. this makes b&s two kevin bacon type steps from uriah heep. i'm done now, kevan p.s. congratulations ailsa. see you in vegas. *********************************** chickclick.com http://www.chickclick.com girl sites that don't fake it. http://www.chickmail.com sign up for your free email. http://www.chickshops.com boutique shopping from chickclick.com *********************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
