Oh, joy! We're back to talking about B&S all the time. Personally, I think this whole dick slap thing was some sort of calculated move to get us to all start talking tunes again. Nothing like a bit of smut to perk up people's ears. So I have a confession. With each and every B&S news bulletin issued by Jeepster about the forthcoming releases, I am more and more sure that May and June will see the end of my B&S fandom. I'm sure (I *know*) that I'm in the extreme minority here. It's just that I was already a little wary about the new album after hearing that Stuart M. would be writing less of the songs, but...a Stevie-led "Northern Soul rave-up"? "Nice Day For A Sulk"? The album title, the song titles, the song descriptions, etc. Now, I'm not saying that the band shouldn't change. Change is good. But *good* change is good, and I just keep getting the feeling that this album is going to be mediocre, over-done and overly-retro. But then, I'm an idiot for saying all of this without hearing any of the songs first. I don't know...I just had to get it off my chest. It's a little sad. I really hope that I like the new stuff. Really and truly I do! I guess it's a real 'wait and see' moment, whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean. And what little jewel did I find in that last digest?

Ah, it's good to see March Madness extending to the list, however small it may be. And Rob's rooting for the proper team, too. If (don't want to jinx 'em) the Heels make it to the Final Four, I'll be driving down to Chapel Hill for the games, and maybe we c0uld plan some sort of sports-related Sinister meet-up. How un-twee would *that* be? There is no B&S in me when I yell Ka-BOOM at Brendan The Boy From the 'boro dunking over some unsuspecting dwarf of a defender. God, I love March.
