Ummm.Magistris PF epistola tardus adveniit...Billy Bragg's lyrics hit us hard in the back at the end of the special St Valentine's quiz. That is, had I read 'that'message and no secrets about the pop personality who could thank you for the card at the same time that criminalising you with no regrets. Tom Waits was sandwiched between BB and VU, at which entry I failed miserably. We confused The Carpenters and Elton John, ignored olympically The Osmonds and could not recognize a familiar portrait of Embrace, but you know, we are 'indie kids',after all. Or I was in my days of My Bloody Valentine featuring the cover of my school A4 files, that is why I got right that one, three or four years contemplating during Algebra and Latin lessons how miserable they striked a pose in their anoraks and their shaggy haircuts. Against my trademark shoegazing, it must be said I remembered Jennifer Rush's total hit with 'The Power of love',lyrics included, and had some intuition on T'Pau that proved right.Carol Decker, was her name,wasn't it? I never listened to any of their songs, just overheard them, but that kind of stuff leaks effectively into your brains with minimal exposure time.She also had that sort of vaguely permed mane falling over her eyes constantly.How incomfortable.Was it always windy in the late 80s? At convent school we were obliged to do our hair in ponytails and buns, maybe there was some meteorological reasons, seeing all the dishevelled youth that was breathing out there. We demanded more 90s questions next time, more Belle and Sebastian questions if possible. What we did not tell the quiz master it was that we failed to recognize Stuart Murdoch's picture in a similar event about 2 years ago, errrr.More PopStars questions is our current level, I am afraid. Or if I carried my housemate, Meatloaf-special truffled with some Foreign...on Saturdays mornings I would nearly cry for the comeback of Mad Cath and her tendency to play herself the violin on top of Lloyd-Weber's early works. x Arantxa +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
