As I'm writing this, I have the programme rumoured to contain Stuart David on in the background. Reports as they come... A question - when someone writes something relevant particularly to you, or relating to something you said in a posting, is it etiquette to write to them individually or to post on the list? As I'm not sure, here are a couple of responses to things I've seen... 1. Laini - I have Degogo's first single, if you're interested in hearing some - might be worth waiting for the album, though - I think it's going to be a bit groovy (in a year's time, natch). I'll be seeing them all in a coupla months when they come over to record (for Lo-fi, the label run by Nick and Warren from Duran Duran), so I'll let you know what's going down if yr interested! 2. Milla-Isobel - yes, a band sounds like a fantastic idea!! I'm not v good with m'guitar, but I do try, and I have an idea or two. I can't believe you cover You made me forget... it's my total fave B&S song (though I'm sure it'll be a different one tomorrow). I live in London too - near Wimbledon - and jamming would just rock my world (see, I even know the lingo). Anyone else fancy it? 3. Rob b - Stina Nordenstam, YES!!! I haven't got any of her stuff (well, one song on an ancient compilation tape made for me by an extremely clued up friend 5 years ago), but I always regret finding out more. Still haven't seen Stuart on the telly - Martin Rossiter, yes - maybe later? Don't think I'll be at the social on Friday (though you never know) but the picnic is absolutely essental - and this time I might actually introduce myself to some people (lucky people), as long as they promise to play football with me! I'll have my friend Jackie with me, who's a bit unhappy at the moment, but I'm sure I can rely on you all to cheer her up. Okay, what new stuff do I have to say? The Daily Mail and The Daily Express make me angrier than ANYTHING in the WHOLE WORLD - they write such preachy, prissy, fascistic, judgmental, advantage-taking, bigoted, inciting-to-racial-hatred fucking FUCKING SHIT!!! that I can barely breathe, I'm so apoplectic. The only thing they've ever done that I've enjoyed was when they named the blokes who killed Stephen Lawrence - ethically it was v. dodgy, but in this case I fuckin' loved it. And the Levellers suck big-time. That'll do now. Pop music and football - that's what it's all about! See you on Monday, sweeties, love Mark xxx p.s. still no bloody Stuart - they always make us wait... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
