I too thought the Bowliefest was going to be cack, but now I'm knock-kneed at the thought of missing those fabulous special interest short films. Can someone bootleg them for me, please? Bad cowboy songs? "There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis" and "Crocodile Shoes" and "Don't Come the Cowboy With Me Sonny Jim" by Kirsty Macoll and Spender. I vote for "I nambled and pambled with Isobel Campbell". JEEPSTER PISS-TAKE CORNER: I also enjoy the B&S articles in the music press, I just say they're shite in a vain attempt to get on Beepster's nerves, seeing as they seem to virtually write them these days. I particularly enjoy the increasingly far-fetched attempts to make Murdoch out to be a complete freak, even more of a loony than he really is. I mean for example - over to Mister Jones: "He came in wearing just a vest, a pair of shorts and Doc Martens, put his foot up on one of those white traffic bollards and started playing these incredible songs." Does that mean he wasn't wearing underpants? If not, did his goolies fall out when he put his foot up on the "white traffic bollard"? No wonder Mister Jones was taken aback.... "For three months afterwards, I still couldn't even really talk to Stuart because I was just so in awe of him." With the Scottish elections coming up, I wonder who B&S are going to vote for? Is Murdoch a Donald Dewar devotee? Will Isobel commit the "unpardonable folly" of voting SNP? Does Sarah get a vote? I would ask the folks at Beepster, but they go all funny when they hear the word "vote". Ha ha, just a bit of friendly ribbing. But I'm a bit surprised by the fact that none of these articles in the music press seem willing to dig a little deeper. Surely they don't really believe that ten thousand people voted for B&S in the Brits? Even educated fleas can see that the idea is preposterous and ludicrous, not to mention outlandish. And why don't they reject the received wisdom that S L Murdoch is a really great songwriter? I mean, he's not bad....and does anyone else think Paul Simon and Bob Dylan are on a par with each other? Mitchell, I saw an album by Kate Jugsy yesterday, and it was really cheap, but I couldn't buy it because I was affronted by her Brian May bubble perm. Has it gone yet?
