Hello Sinister, Hope you are all well and had a great new year. We had a fantastic time at Track & Field in London, and also managed to catch up with the Strange Fruit people as well so all in all we saw just about everybody. I have been happy since Christmas cos I got a dart board, and it is now my new years resolution to score 180 in open play, hopefully against Matt Powell. My other resolutions are to have a song I write played on the radio, continue to stop smoking and write two books (one fiction, one non-fiction). I thought I would drop you a line, beacuse there was a little mini-interview with Stuart in the Scotsman the other day (I buy it for the Derek Allen crossword) and I thought you might be interested, hope it hasn't already been mentioned. There is probably a link to a website, but anyway, here it is... STUART MURDOCH, SINGER WITH BELLE & SEBASTIAN. Best thing you saw in 2001? "Gary Teale's mesmerising performances in the Ayr midfield. We will miss him." Best thing you heard? "The Camera Obscura LP." Strongest memory? "Sarah singing 'Baby', a beautiful Brazilian song, to beautiful Brazilians in Sao Paulo." Looking forward to...? "I'm looking forward to seeing more of the ball." New Year's resolution? "I resolve to become immortal. And then die." And that was it really. Nice plug for the Camera Obscura album though, and well done to them and Saloon for their Festive 50 placings. For anyone who's interested my favourite album of 2001 was "Once" by the Tyde. Right, well I'll be off then. See some of you soon, the rest of you take care, lots of love, Andrew.
