Re: Sinister: Mum's the word
What did one well say to the other three wells? Well well well. Props to Trousse for all those mums. However, I don't believe a word of it. Stevie's entire musical knowledge is based upon the Spotters Guide to Rock and Pop, which he showed to a select few at a Trouserfest the Sunday before last. It's a fantastic book, dedicated to redefining notions of 'accurate and authoritative'. Its astonishing take on rock history sees it introducing punk with the bold assertion 'There was no thought in the punk movement'. Elsewhere the author claims that every English guitar hero started their career in the Yardbirds, and that the Beatles are 'the biggest myth in pop history'. That's some conspiracy theory. His tone becomes particularly belligerent when it comes to metal. Iron Maiden's 'facile' album covers are the only way of distinguishing them from their peers as 'all heavy metal groups are equally noisy'. 'Belligerent' is one of two words Morrissey taught me. Props to anyone who can guess the other one ('prophesise' doesn't count, because he made it up). He also taught me how to misspell 'cemetery' and 'Shakespeare'. However, 'publically' (see last post) was all my own work. When I was younger I used to be interested in formal logic, and started to believe that 'prop' was an everyday abbreviation for 'propostion' but when I spilled it into conversation everyone just looked at me blankly and so I stopped saying it. I have no idea why I wanted to say 'propostion' in the first place. Hello to everyone who's new lately, especially Vesna from Belgrade. Bloody hell. I nearly cried when I read your post. Belle & Sebastian on B92? No wonder they tried to shut it down. Sorry, that's not very funny.
