Have you lot heard about the current carry on with the Manics' single, it seems that everyone including the Manics reckon that it sounds exactly like the Stranglers' Duchess. I can't see it personally but mentioning it does allow me to attempt a "comedy" subject line. Duchess is a top song though, and I even quite like the Manics one too, it seems to have a tune. Good move Manics! I've got a bloody great cold at the moment unfortunately, probably due to the systematic and self-inflicted destruction of my immune system whilst on holiday. Sleeping in a flower bed probably didn't help too much either. David really ought to have got a photograph of that. But for all that, I'm bloody glad he didn't. Incidentally, as has already "bean" pointed out, the bloke on the cover of the record is CHRIS GEDDES. For those of you reading in HTML readers, hopefully that'll be clear and not need stated again. Also, a great big thankyou to Mr.Peter Miller for his kind gift of a tape. It's a lovely collection of funky stuff (like Seb, except with stuff instead) and weird sort of croony people. I like the version of Be thankful for what you've got. Is the William De Vaughn version the original, it's set me in doubt. I especially like the great Marvin Gaye tracks. They rule, in the way Mr.Gaye generally does. Oh and Peter, it's probably not work the money for the UNKLE album, it's not really that great, it isn't as good as DJ Shadow on the whole. However, I'd disagree with Mr.Fitchett when he points out in his e-zine that DJ Shadow hasn't really move on creatively from What does your soul look like?... I mean, how do you define that? HIgh Noon is certainly a departure, and I can't see many people who do make as radical a break from their general style as that. I still think Mr.Shadow is one of the best blokes of the 90's. I think seen as there are no more UK dates immediately planned by the way we should all arrange some form of meet up somewhere. What do people reckon the chances are of us being able to get the lot of us (or at least as many people from all over the UK - and obviously any non-residents who want to come too) in one place? Right, off to bed for me.
