Hi Hundreds and Thousands, SADNESS/NOSTALGIA/LONGING I just ploughed through 7 digests & the saddest thing by far in all of them was Katrina's throw-away comment. Wasn't the last B&S concert on 28.04.99? So probably at least two years before the next one happens? And at present rate maybe 18 months before another record release. Bugger. I think the list will face a few challenges in remaining on topic for the foreseeable future, unless the Glasgie Sinister massive send in a report of every sighting: M&S checkout queue, clubbing, urinal comparison stories, anything will do, please. SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF YOUR BUM Personally I think the Floyd lost it with Dark Side Of The Moon. "Meaningful" lyrics AND, God help them, a saxophone! Give me that earlier innocent spacy psychedelic claptrap any day. The Genius Producer that followed in Joe Boyd's footsteps when he went off to form Witchseason was Norman Smith, who certainly put his innovative sound techniques to good use as Hurricane Smith with a couple of pop hits in the 70's, including the inspiring Oh Babe What Would You Do (or something similar) LEXICON OF LURVE I hate to correct Miss Wesley but nubile means marriageable (from the Latin nubere: to wear a veil) Do surgical masks count? Could that be where the voluptuous confusion crept in? THY ROD AND THY STAFF COMFORT ME As a sort of homage to Hairy Cave Man (Andy, where are you?) I'd like to point out to Colin Thornton that his two songs figured on set lists from at least 4 gigs (Barcelona, London (Shepherds Bush), Brussels & Washington DC.) SHAMELESS PLUG (II) Sorry, no list connection whatsoever (except maybe for sadness, etc., see above), but take a listen to the Saint Low album (more info here: http://www.cookingvinyl.com/saintlow/index.html because its great - 7 out of 12 excellent songs, one of which an absolute heart-breaker (Walk On By - not the old standard, but her own song. Even a bit Stina Nordenstam-like. But brilliant nevertheless :) ) Mary Lorson has an superb voice, singing of loss, rejection, betrayal, but without any rancour so its very positive & well, life affirming. MUZAK In a car showroom the other day I was freaked by them playing a track from Love's Forever Changes album. So I bought a car. MR ANGEL BLACKWELL The value of your shares can go up as well as down.
