Summer's here and the time is right. Mooro: intricate bass - yes, I noticed this at the Glasgow gig - BUT I felt that he was kind of ruining it, missing out important chord moments etc. May be confusing this, though, with the disaster that was OMISSION OF F CHORD IN CHORUS OF 'THE WRONG GIRL' WHEN PLAYED LIVE. Let the 'band' produce a "spokesperson" to explain THAT fiasco. Ipswich - somebody tell me what it's really like. There's probably an ep to be written about Ipswich. I was thinking of going myself, but I wound up making endless photocopies in a thunderstorm, and walking home through the city centre thinking, London in the summer - yes, despite everything, I like London in the summer. It makes me think of Madonna jogging in 1990, and 'The Power' drifting over the back walls. Why did those folks in the estate always play their music so loud? It was loud to me, so how loud can it have been to them? Weather fine. Duller today but still lush and humid. John McEnroe: Classic as commentator. Never heard anything quite like it, not even in the more in-yer-face world of footy. Spiky and intrusive, but intelligent too. He even mentioned 'my old pal Andres Gomes' the other day. Loss of Capriati: awful. Surely only dolphin boy was happy with that. Music everyone should go and rediscover: aspects of solo Macca / Wings. 'Tug Of War': best melody of 1980s? Just think about it. VENUS & MARS LP: magnificent title track only about a minute long, and 'Magneto & Titanium Man' = [yet another] early 'BWTAS'. Pinefox country CD now a collectors' item and one of a kind: have accidentally screwed up computer and lost files. (I mean 'lost' rather than 'destroyed', but it comes to the same thing at the moment.) I say, Honey, auction for $5000 at George Jones gig. Make luxury Edinburgh apartment improvements on proceeds. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
