Hey hey! Hey! This is only my third post in nine months but I thought I should get it in before I go home for a while. Today was my final exam, so I'm scampering to the countryside to chew straw and wear a hat and sit around in sandals. Till September. Whycliffe says it better than me. What I was wondering was... is there anyone out there who would like to form a band? I've been writing songs for a while, and I've had a bash at playing in groups before, but it always seems to end up with me standing cross-legged, struggling with the three chords to Jailbird while an engineering student wrangles, bug-eyed, to get a solo out of a very expensive guitar (yeh man, I'm stung). I live in Ayrshire and travel to Glasgow lots, so if you're in that area, drop me a line. Um, my favourite writers are Stuart Murdoch, Lou Barlow and Elliott Smith, and my favourite band in the world is The Smiths, and I have impeccable influences, I've been into trumpet solos ever since the theme tune to Johnny Briggs broke my heart. I love songs that have chord changes that make you gulp and makes a lump travel from your breast plate to your throat. Uh, Together Or Alone by Sebadoh? My Wandering Days Are Over by B&S? Y'know? Hey, even if you can't play, get in touch and we'll go for a drink and a boogie! Yeh, chew the fat! Toss a few ideas around! Steal apples and stuff! I'd love to meet new people and be versed in where to go for thrills. My address is: 11 Five Roads, Kilwinning, KA13 7JX, Scotland. Well, gotta dash. Off for lunch, I reckon a warm baguette could do the business. See ya in the autumn, John ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
