Hello boys and girls, It’s good to see Peter Carter back, isn’t it? I heartily think so. I’ve missed is inimitable style. His band’s new EP looks Interesting, but alas, I simply can’t be arsed to buy it. How about a freebie, Pete? Nice one. Anyway, on to matters far more trivial. Bought the new Super Furries record yesterday, and thought it was a bit on the shit side when I listening to it through headphones on the way home, and then realised its true grateness when I put it on my hi-fi in my house. Very strange. Perhaps it’s because it’s all in surround sound, and I’ve got a posh stereo… Anyway, it’s good, and I’d recommend it. “No Sympathy” is genius. Saw Jurassic Park 3 last night, too. Now there’s a movie that could do with being soundtracked by B&S. It was fantastically awful, and I mean that literally – it was so awful that it was actually fantastic. But seriously, they could have done with “You Made Me Forget My Dreams” at the end though – it would have worked really well, having the twee bit while the couple snogged (okay they didn't snog, but they Got Back Together), and then the drum machine coming in at the end when the pterodactyls* escape, in order to provide suitable, if weak ammunition for the fourth film. So that's JP4, same time, same place, in four years? I’LL BE THERE! Went to a club called Desperate on Friday. It’s a Pulp thing, and the mighty Jarve was playing some decidedly dubious 80s-tinged tracks. Hmmm and double Hmmm. The band (A.R.E. Weapons, apparently they’re mates with The Strokes) was decidedly shit, too. I also noticed that you can get some of the EPs on 7”, but they only have two tracks on them. What’s the point of that then? Oh well, confusion continues. Oh yeah, and it’s official, my knee is properly fucked. Ruptured cruciate ligament, apparently. I need an operation. It will be next March on the NHS, or next week privately. Anyway, see you all on Saturday… Love Asm.x P.S. Is anybody on the list going to the Benicassim festival in Spain? If you are, email me and we’ll meet up. That offer extends in particular to any members of B&S, if you are reading… *My computer actually knew how to spell pterodactyl. I’m ridiculously impressed. ================= "Shut up!
