1. Tigermilker Mark is a cheeky wee so-and-so. Did I get him back for making all kinds of suggestions? No, I just charged him for services rendered. Darling, you owe me �1.25 for last night. 2. Paul Laird- first of all, that Jeepster record you're giving away? um, got it thanks. I dunno if you'll find anyone on here who hasn't got it. And the best track has to be the Low one. second of all? you better not be that bloke I went to school with, otherwise I shall be watching what I say from now on, and squirming uncomfortably. WHO ARE YOU????? 3. After god-knows how many hours hard work and realignment of stuff and things, I've finally got my wee fanzine printed off. So, if anyones interested, issue three features an interview with Mark Jones of Jeepster giving advice how to get signed (and mentioning things about the acts he's already got signed); Aether Flux interview; interview with The Clean; interview with John Uchurch (dude who designed Shellac and Tortoise covers); tons of reviews, demo section, quick fire interviews with bands nobody's heard of and a whole bunch of other stuff. �1.20, green cover. Previous issues are available too, cos I've got some more published. 4. Viruses? urgh. I've had three I've deleted this week alone. Its a nightmare. They go for your address book you know. Be warned. The ones I've had, have been with "re. " in the subject line, with nothing more than re. Second thing, there has been no body to the message, just an attatchment with an odd ending. If someone has sent you something genuine, and you know who they are. you can always e mail them and ask before you open it. 5. Sorry for the last multi post. Deja vu, anyone? what can I say... it kept telling me the connection had timed out. 6. dress down day, and I got told my belt was unsuitable for work. And yes, it really was a belt, not an extra short skirt or something. How sucky is that? 7. I keep having these wierd moments. I keep seeing this staircase bar in my mind, in my imagination, it just strikes up, like its somewhere I've been or somewhere I've seen, and I can't make it out. It just leaves this peculiar feeling inside me and I don't know any more. Its an odd thing, I just get flashes of this place, and htis feeling to accompany it. Its really getting quite strange. Its not something I think about, it just jumps up mid thought and goes. 8. My story is coming along really well. I've come up with stuff for it. y imagination seems to hav found a new lease of life. 9. Ken Chu, its not Christmas I find depressing, its the feelings that accompany it of regret and wonder and thoughts about all the little things I should have said and done, I just never took the time.... Hmm. 10. Did anyone think that Jools Holland looked odd when he walked away from Belle And Sebastian? He had this fixed smile on when they finished one song, then walked off, towards his piano I think, and looked at the floor with this "good grief, who asked THEM on? I can't believe I have to fake joyity about some ofthese bands sometimes.". It was that slight slight look, when he looked at the floor, the way his face just dropped the smile as quickly as he could get away from them. I thought it was quite funny. Or am I over-analyising things again? 11. When is he right time to start sending Christmas cards? 12. Yeah, I'm going to the QMU gig as well. It took my brother 1 and a half hours queueing at the QM on Wednesday, only to find out they weren't on sale yet. And then he said he was told it was students only. Of course, I think he just got it wrong. Eventually, i sent him off to Virgin to get one. :) I owe him big time now. I think it was a good idea though, to call him and bark instructions from my desk at work while he was with this girl, who I think he fancies. So I think he did it to impress her with his sensitivity. I must remember to exploit this as much as possible. Okay, thats it. Love, idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke. And it felt good. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Buy the perfect holiday gifts at Yahoo!
