well if you know the origin of *that* subject (and i mean in its current, not original, form) you win bonus points, a cuddly toy and jar of marmite. i suspect only mr moore has the faintest chance of knowing, so my jar of marmite is safe. i wouldn't normally do this kind of thing y'know, but a number of things have roused me from my slumber. 1. the white stripes are in session on john peel tonight (wednesday) and not one of you has had the decency to tell the rest of the class. 2. honey disputed the fact that phil lynott owned that bass. will the scarboro posse please back me up here. struan said it. with his mouth. which reminds me: 2+1/2. someone mentioned weak lemmon drink. this should happen more often. as should references to curious oranges. stew lee has a book out now, which you can buy while you wait for simon armitage's (does anyone know when this is out?) 3. listened to yo la tengo's 'and then nothing turned itself...' yesterday, and noticed that the title to one track is the crying of lot g. this can't have nothing to do with pynchon's the crying of lot 49. i was going to check the archives, but that appears to not be an option. can anyone help? 4. el nombre rules! there appear to be two - one involving spanish beavers and another involving gaz top. the spanish beavers are grate. obviously it's not really as good as bagpuss, but what is? i am in york, but i'm too scared to meet carsmilesteve - he's a celebrity! and he might point and mock, cos i recognised his subject. (in my defence, it's my ex's fault) er, that's it. i'm too lazy to reply to stu hallifax, so i'll say hi from here. heehee. and to chris j and f-b and jonny while i'm at it. oh! i listened to the preston school 7 inch for the first time 2 days ago and i wanted to eat it, it was so warm and solid and lovely. tho that may have been due to desmond's tape (entitled 'if music be the food of love, eat all your vinyl') for which i never thanked him... thank you! back to....doing nothing (ah, the life of a student). love gina x _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
