Sinister: Winding down to The Smiths
Listening to The Smiths while the batteries on your walkman fade is a strangely exhilarating experience. Especially when you're on a bus, stuck in traffic after an early morning rain storm. The sound of Morrissey's voice slowly winding down and fading, the backing distorted in the background is wonderful. It really gives the wet miserable outdoors a new context. Forgive me if this experience doesn't translate well into writing, I just thought it had to be written down. I got the new B&S single yesterday and it's great great great. I think 'Marx and Engels' is my favourite track, but they are all good. The first to tracks can also be added to my ever-growing Party Music category with which I can oppose the evils of Destiny's Chilled that my housemates so often inflict. They told me yesterday that a lot of my music is rubbish because it has no beat. Sometimes something you can dance to is the last thing that you need. And kids, feel free to check out www.ciahq.fsnet.co.uk/fastcow/ , there are 1500 of you, and it's only had 402 hits total, so I'm sure a few more of you could manage a visit ;).

FANTASTIC isn't it! It's even better when the batteries run out and you can stop listening to that whinging old git with flowers stuck up his arse. I've been listening to a tape of MIXED SONGS: good bits are Durutti Column, XTC and McCarthy. GEE, I like McCarthy. I don't like the Smiths. OR the Essex Green, those b'stards. I threw slices of LEMON at them when they played Englands Trendy London.

I disagree but what the heck. I quickly glimpsed at the cover and thought that my lovely flatmate had picked up another Tijuana Brass LP (bear in mind I do not know if she actually HAS any) but CORRR it was Sarah Martin! Hoorah for Sarah and her Bassett Hound. Is it a Bassett Hound? Also, my favourite Tijuana Brass LP is surely Tamla Goes Tijuana. What's yours? I'd love to see a TIJUANA BRASS LP OF CHRYS LYNYRD COVERS.
