I wanted to post something last week, just because I'd thought of a really good subject line, but I've forgotten it now. Oh well. I'm worried by some of the recent messages on the list. Talking about ribena is fine, because it's twee; and red bull is G!R!A!T!E! because it has been the cause of many a good night out. But Marmite is just evil. And inedible. Anyway, Kenneth asked if there was a list of the cover stars. There is somewhere, but I can't find it, so I guess there's no harm in posting it again: Tigermilk: Joanne Kenney (Stuart M's flatmate at the time) If you're feeling sinister: Ciara MacLaverty Dog on Wheels: Joanne Kenney Lazy Line Painter Jane: Thea Martin 3,6,9 Seconds of Light: Stuart Murdoch and Victoria Morton The Boy with the Arab Strap: Chris Geddes This is just a Modern Rock Song: Alan Horne (ex Postcard records supremo) Legal Man: Stevie Jackson, Adrienne (Stevie's other half), Roseanne (one of the Maisonettes); also featuring Robert White (the band's lawyer) in a picture frame, and our very own Katrina House on the back. Fold you Hands Child, you Walk like a Peasant: The twins from Icelandic band Mum (sorry, can't remember their names!) Jonathan David: Mick Cooke, 'Belfast' Bob Kildea, and Ruth Madoc from Hi-De-Hi. I'm sure I've forgotten someone there, but never mind. I normally try and add something entertaining and amusing at this point, but I won't bother today, because I've finally realised that I'm just not funny. Swapping letters in your name is the new rock 'n' roll.
