Hello Sinister. It's been a while but SO much has happened lately that... oh hang on. No it hasn't. Anywayyyy... Xmas came and went and left me with some books and bouze and CDs inluding the Lambchop B-sides and rarities compliation Tools In The Dryer which provided a lovely evening's listening. There's a remarkable stripped-down version of The Militant on there as well as the Zero7 version of Up With People. Yum! Oh and I'm addicted to the game of Bop-it Xtreme as well. I couldn't get to any of the gigs this time but from the looks of things everybody had a good time. Thanks to all the Back Reporters for Reporting Back. As for Struan swearing, I still love the moment on my Bowlie Weekender bootleg where the keyboard outro on LLPJ is greeted with a cry of "FUCKIN' HIT IT BEANS!!!" Talking of bootlegs, I like very much the idea of having all the videos on one tape so if Neil and the band have reservations and are currently in a huddle with the Legal Men then maybe an reasonably-priced video or new-fangled DVD would be a really really good idea. I'd buy one. Much better than trying to squint at the ICrunch stream. Doubt if I can make the bowling at the weekend so have fun all you pin-jockeys who are going. Gutter balls tend to be a fact of life when I play anyway. Dave Moore mentioned Mark & Lard's Record of the Week of the Year. I had a look. Someone should have serious words with the Starsailor list. Both of them. New for '02 Robster http://robster75.tripod.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
