Here we are again. Thursday. And another mail from yours truly! Yay! Jump up and down and squeal with delight!! So, I'm hoping (fingers crossed and all that) my mum is going to remember to record the evening session in Scotland tonight for me, with the b+s thing thats apparently gonna be on it. Lets just hope she doesn't a. record the wrong station (Forth FM!!! HEAVEN FORBID!) B. remembers to turn the cassette over rather than get wrapped up in Eastenders/Animal Hospital/anything vaguely mumsie on telly. c. leave it to my little brother to do, cos no doubt it will go all a bit pete tong then, for sure. not that I have a lack of faith in my brother, but, um, ewll, actually I do. Has anyone read that review of LazyLinePainter Jane EPs in NME this week? I think Sarah Dempster was amazingly witty and original to use the word twee in connection with B+S related things. How brilliant of her to come up with such a line!! How classic an observation! I must write that word down in my little notebook!! Six out of Ten? Described some of it as nursey rhymes? Yup, the lady doesn't obviously love B+S, people. Which is a shame, because I thought that most of the songs did merit a far higher rating than she was prepared to give. Okay, I don't think ALL B+S songs are wonderous, some are a bit weak for me, but she failed to observe "Slow Graffiti" and "This is Just a Modern Rock Song" or even "Lazy Line Painter Jane" and "Photo Jenny". And while she was busy slagging off the lyrical content of the B+S songs, she also failed to comment that it is not merely about lyrics. Its the combination of the music and the vocals that give B+S such an incredibly bewitching imagery to the listener. I think you either love B+S or you just don't. And Sadly, she seems to have a thing against them. Oh well. But that doesn't matter, cos the majority of things she writes are crap anyway. Paying attention to her is like paying attention to Margaret Thatcher now. You just shouldn't bother. And the banks!!! where do they get off thinking that they can increase charges for using rival cash points? No wonder Barclays had a profit increase! It could go up to �4 for each transaction made from a rival cashpoint! When in reality, it costs no more than �0.30! Grr! So I think I might change banks, as a political statement against this. Or rob the banks instead. On a more personal note, my flatmate is a twat. And my land line phone broke the other night. And I seem to be coming into contact with too many patronising arsewanking dickhead men. And theres nothing I can do about it!! Apart from kick them in the delicate bits. And while this would reinstate my position as a girl who doesn't like to have the piss taken out of her in inhumane ways/ be patronised/ be pushed around/ be told "You're wrong and I'm right cos I'm a man and naturally I'm right because to be wrong would be too much for me and my precious ego to endure"...etc etc etc, It would be wrong. Fulfilling yes, for a few moments. But I have a bolder and bigger picture of self satisfaction to look at. So maybe I'll just clean the loo with my flatmates toothbrush. And not tell. Well, I won't if you won't! Hes a he, btw. God, if only something really nasty could happen to him. Or something. But lets face it, what goes around, comes around. And sooner or later, he will get his comeupance. And that will be revenge enough. For the mean time, I'm just gonna have to grin and bear it! So, bye for now! Maybe see you in Jeepster chat rooms, cos Sinister doesn't work for me! Bah!!!
