I've noticed that a lot of world leaders have names to do with ladies - Sharon, Fox, Bush, Putin. The list is endless. How eccentric do you have to be to get called eccentric by Sonic Boom? That was a very nice piece by Mister Boom, quite moving, especially the bit about crying into her washing-up. I'd never heard of Delia Derbyshire before today, and although I still think someone made her up, from now on whenever someone mentions the word "Delia" I shall shout "DERBYSHIRE!" at the top of my voice. She literally made me hide behind the settee when I was little. Mind you, I liked it back there. Sometimes my mum couldn't find me. Was that B&S enough? Could someone, preferably called Keith, please tell me which Thin Lizzy records Phil Lynott used his perspex bass on? And whether the sound of the bass is affected by it being made of perspex or not. Does it make the whole band sound like the Buggles? Some time ago Mister Richard compared B&S to Sly and the Family Stone. So why are they doing Arrested Development covers? I can't remember what horrible sarcastic comment I made at the time, but I bet it was perfectly valid. I've got that White Teeth book by Zadie Smith but I can't Report Back on it yet. I'm also reading the Political Writings of Octavio Paz in the original Mexican. I just mention that to make myself look clever. I'm on page 64. What a crap tour! Thank goodness it's over.
