Re: Sinister: Re: On the radio
I've always assumed that "Songs for Children" is a song about when they were on the evening show on Radio 1 being interviewed by Mark Lamarr in Sep 96, they were basically having a laugh, taking the piss out of Mark Lamarr, Chris talking about his essay on Foucault and Stuart remarking "F**Koff" sounding similar and then roaring with laughter as Mark Lamarr fails to count correctly twice the number of words in the title of Judy and the dream of Horses. This was the first radio session they did, so it kind of matches up with the words in the song. Keith.

I don't suppose any of you Robert Plants and Rula Lenskas out there in pop land have got a tape of this interview have you? It would make my day. By the by, I finally obtained the much sought after Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space today. So thanks to all my little helpers out there over the last few months. I still think it's a daft package. Had the check-out woman well confused, much to my embarrassment, but gave 'er indoors a good laugh, so thumbs up to the much maligned Mister Spaceman. Whilst ploughing through a tedious article about the wonderful work of A&R men, I stumbled across the information that members of B&S played football during the In the City knees-up against a team of dirty English A&R types. Are there any witnesses? Who played? Did they score? Did Sarah have to take her roller skates of to play? Archie, I have mislaid your address. What a silly billy!
