Note: I actually know Danny in “real life”; and this is not a sherricking merely a gentle chiding welcome to Sinister. Well, since the list-mummy is conspicuous by her/his (not had this much fun since Dana International) absence, the lovely Katarina Karlson has offered to design me a “Sinister Junior Reporter”’s t-shirt (that’s a medium, mind). As regards the boys from Hefner, I do wonder what songs they played: I would be intrigued and greatly indebted if anyone (even you, Mr Farrell) would furnish me with a set-list. As for the 13th note being a “pretty scary place”, I think he probably means “imposing imbibing-hole imbued with drama and accentuated by history” which sounds a lot worse than a “pretty scary place”. I would reckon that the chance of seeing Stuart at the aforesaid gig would have been pretty high. The 13th note is meant to be (we can only go on rumour) a favourite place of Stuart’s; couple that with the fact that he is now producing Camera Obscura and we have 9 to 2 odds. (Incidentally, the new Progwai Album, Rock Action, has Sleazy’s on the cover). Camera Obscura sound similar to B&S? What in that they are Scottish? I need more description. In what way do they sound like the Belles (the Belles…) Darren Hayman is a pretty nice guy. I got talking to him at the gig at the Garage in October and he signed my copy of Ant’s solo EP. They were all very welcoming and all of them happily signed the CD. You gotta love ‘em. “We will laugh…” Hehe. McDonalds? Ahhhh… Blaspheme. Teehee. Well, went to see “Songs from the 2nd Floor” on Sunday. Very nice to look at in parts; laced with some great social commentary (there’s a scene where the economics advisors to a company are all sitting round a big desk and they’re passing round a crystal ball. Teehee. Just me again, then, eh?) I guess it has a pretty strong message to give “Blessed is the one who sits down”. That is, take a rest, get your head clear don’t try to do everything at the same time as everyone else, you’ll only stunt your life, you’ll get a lot further by actually thinking; enforced sacrifices blah blah blah. Oh well, as for Baxendale’s albums. Well, Helen’s actually got a rather vast repertoire but for maximum irritating-public school-girl quotient go for 1997’s “Eton Trifles”. Err. I mean. Seriously, try www.musicforgirls.co.uk. Or even, here’s a novel idea, try one of this city’s many wondrous music shops (I counted 8 just a minute ago). I’m sure you’ll be able to find them quite easily. Quite why you’d want to I’m not sure… Anyways, lectures n’all that.
