Hello Sinisters. Gosh, it's been a while. Hope you've been keeping well and all that. Nice to see some new faces round here. There's been an enjoyable few months of B&S related funning lately. DICKYWUSS has been making me jolly happy since last year. There was a terrific moment of joy and, well, relief after I pressed play for the first time and lovely music that made me smile came out of my aged and knackered CD player. This didn't happen quite as much with FISHYFLAPS, despite the CD player being nowhere near as aged or knackered. It's pretty much died altogether now and I can't afford a new one so the pooter is now handling the lovely music-playing duties. It does this ok despite Windows Media Player thinking that all your music is, in fact, 60s psychedelia and displaying swirly colours and 2001 star gate effects all the time. I was at one of the Astoria gigs in December but failed to Report Back. This was mostly due to me performing my usual trick at B&S gigs of being too drunk to remember many details. This is still the case. The karaoke, I recall, was grate and tha bomb. Especially the lady what did Heart of Glass. Because I'd been very very good all last year, Santa brought me a copy of Fans Only. This is very T!O!P!N!O!T!C!H as it means I can watch the LLPJ video without having to stream it into a teeny weeny window via dialup. I still have to watch it on the pooter though as I don't have a DVD player. But look! There's the fresh-faced mid 90s B&S! There's Struan in a variety of tight t-shirts! The crazy Brazilian chat show host! Sarah putting up some shelves! Norman Blake! On my pooter! Yay! I got an email today saying that the Pixies are playing Brixton Academy in June. Cor! Big Frank and Auntie Kim on the same stage again. I think the Red Bull Dozers should try and get a support slot - they do a fantastic cover of Gigantic. Hope this rain stops soon so we can all have a picnic but there's always TIGERMILKING in the meantime. http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking Robster ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
