... for hiccups? I have a bad case of them. Grr. Anyway, on with the news and gossip. Hello to new postee Lee Vowell who has undescribably alright taste in music. "Musically, I like B&S, of course. I also very much enjoy the Manic Street Preachers, Suede (esp. the first two albums), Pulp, David Bowie, and U2, along with a lot of others. I like to think of all the great music that I have yet to hear. I have heard good things about Badly Drawn Boy, but haven't heard anything yet..." Totally agree with you on Suede, their first two albums are ace. I didn't think much of their later pieces of offerings. But words fail me when you say Manic Street Preachers. Okay, okay, so I have the Holy Bible. And its got some good songs that take me back to my teenagehood where I liked something I could feel stroppy in time to. But they are still pants. Chris meanwhile, said: "I just remembered (sorry it's so late) - For those of you who get Scottish Television (BBC3) there's a program on at half ten tonight called "The Point" and I believe it has an interview Mick Cooke who is talking about the Electric City thing in Glasgow. Sorry it's such late notice! s o r r y. I hope you are all doing just fine" Same to you too Chris. Yeah, saw that. Mick was muttering something about teenage fanclub, and the 13th note, and the shoes on the dummy in the B+S shrine not being his... but Stuarts instead. Maybe his fake snakeskin red stilletoes in size 13 really wouldn't fit. But you know what they say about men with big feet. Big socks. And big socks means big feet. and so on and so forth. I bet Mick was just starting rumours about the size of his feet doing that. Yeah, I caught it on telly last night, after my dad went to bed in a strop with me, cos I got the TV control and started doing my usual hobby of channel flicking. And then it came on. Apparently, theres like this music exhibition thing in glasgow at the lighthouse, covering all sorts of bands from 1957 to the year 2000. Including Pastels, Delagados, BMX bandits and a whole host of decent bands. (Mogwai too, I hope!!) Oh, and some band nobodys heard of have a wee bit there too, with a blown up copy of the Sun after the Brits back in 99 with two dummies wearing two band members clothes and some other blokes shoes. Its on til the 25th of February, at The Lighthouse. I didn't make special notes of remembering that, but I do sometimes remember the most incredible facts that have no bearing on daily life whatsoever. So far giving up going to the hairdressers is going darn well. I've not been now since December 1st. Its looking okay, I'm flicking it out a bit, and it looks good when I try to apply my eyeliner Sophie Loren style and wear the lovely wee heart shaped amethyst choker my boyfriend bought me. Took my wee brother shopping yesterday. Managed to get him to buy stuff from Flip and Cult Clothing, alothugh he did relapse and insist on going into Next as well. I meanwhile, went and got a Curtis Mayfield CD, its been bothering me for about a week now, cos it was only three squid in Fopp. And I remember nicking my pals Curtis Mayfield CD years ago and loving it. So, thats my recommendation of the week. No, not nicking peoples CDs. Go out and buy some Curtis Mayfield into your life. So thats all now. So what do you think of Curtis Mayfield then? huh? And do you agree that Sophie Loren eyeliner is the way to go for 2001? (I'm doing it dark grey for that smokey look.) And has anyone else got any success stories like me, about where their mum gives birth to the wrong child (your sibling) and then only when they reach adulthood, can you make them do the things you tried to manipulate them to do for so much of your life as a sibling? enough!
