back again larry mickey said: I recall reading that the band had recorded *more* than 20 songs. Taking in to account that there were 11 tracks on the album, and a further three on the "Legal Man" single etc and when i read it this morning it broke my dream i had, where i was in some mystical record shop that had a bootleg version of fishyclap with all 20 tracks on. Unfortunately I can't remember what any of the additional songs were... there were lots of other grate records too in this record store, and i was buying them !A!L!L! I'm sure i had a dream the other night about kalliope and one about dimensionflippy ian last week. You pesky sinisterines coming round and invading my head. Someone else mentioned Francis Wheen's book on Karl Marx and i'd like to agree with them, a fine book it is, full of lots of tales of Marx the aspirant social climber and wannabe bourgeoisie. The father of the planned economy who never had two brass farthings to rub together. The oxford picnic was, as has been previously mentioned by ms alder, a grate success, small and perfectly formed. The only disappointment was not seeing any comedy punt (I said punt) moments, ie, pole/stick thing gets stuck in river bed, bloke hangs on to it whilst punt drifts away or small child tries to stand up in punt despite protestations of mother and promptly falls in, but it didn't really mar the afternoon too much. There was a rival picnic just down the bank from us featuring metaller/physicist/nerd types who were talking about mp3 players and things, we just pointed and laughed and talked about big brother ;) I notice on the auction list (apart from the fact that i'm top of the list*) that Gruff from the Super Furry Animals is offering to make you a loaf of bread. Special "herbal" bread prolly, oh and Sarah Martin (not Cracknell) will take your photo. I do hope we're all going to join in. I want to know what stuart's offering. It's not fair he hasn't said yet. Maybe we could just bid and then he can decide what he wants to do. *You, yes you, could have an evening to remember with ME. First I will cook you an exciting meal of your choosing from a wide ranging menu, and then I'll take you out dancing, and show you how to strut your stuff the CarsmileSteve way. A once in a lifetime opportunity <cough>. Surely it's worth a tenner? Go on then, a fiver... £2.50 minimum, you can't say fairer than that. xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
