Sinister: the dangers of supply and demand
hello again, Thankyou to the unnamed individual who emailed me last week. aren't you lovely :) Just thought for those who have been swindled out of Glastonbury tickets (many, i would think) that Mr Eavis is embarking on a crackdown of people who are using Ebay or illicitly reselling tickets by any other medium (this is a legal infringement, of course). So, do keep your eyes peeled; I have a sneaking suspicion that in a few weeks there may be another release of recaptured tickets. Good luck! For the rest of you, I was glad to hear about the bowling weekend. Shame i couldn't make it, i like bowling. Especially because of the shoes - i liked them so much i have a pair i swiped. it's the only thing i thieved deliberately. I'm home from uni, back in the manurey countryside that is my very own Tom Wolfe's "home". I got back. But only for 3 days, goodness knows my family are insane. Joke: Two snowmen are standing in a field, and one says to the other "Do you smell carrot?" Ooh, well intentioned post rapidly losing any value... Just thought i'd pay my respects to Edwin Starr, i had the privilege of seeing him perform, albeit with Utah Saints at Reading. But they and he were both exceptional, the highlight of my festival that year. For those people who dislike Thom Yorke's anti-bush remarks, I must say, despite adoring Radiohead's works, that you're right, he does seem just to snipe, rather than discuss. Marilyn Manson is a much more literate and persuasive debater. The new Radiohead album, by the by, is called "Hail To The Thief", a direct quote by protest groups opposing Bush's election (but let's be fair, it was a swindle, and that's not an inflammatory comment as there was bags of evidence. But it's water under the bridge now, and we have bigger fish to fry) Oh, also, did you know that France and Russia were going to veto the UN resolution not on ethical grounds, but because France has lucrative oil dealings with Iraq and Russia has supply line issues in the Middle East? It's sad that everything boils down to money. Douglas Adams said something funny about that in the Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy. That's war, now the White Stripes. The only time i REALLY watched them (exclude Glastonbury 2002) was in September 2002, when they did Yardbird covers with Jeff Beck at the latter's Royal Festival Hall performance. It were quite good. In other respects, i can't say i truly appreciate what they do, as I dearly love harmonious singing voices (cf Mr Murdoch). I'm surprised I emailed again. I thought i may lurk. Maybe i will.
