Well if not, how about persuading him to donate a few
snippets for your website? I'd certainly be interested. Sad
and pathetic though it may seem, I went to live in Glasgow
largely under the influence of OJ and postcard. Even went to
the trouble of living on the same street. Now I live near
the mother of "The Tigress" - convicted terrorist and
maneater. She looks worried all the time. The mother, that
is.

I look forward to it. My own Postcard related pop insight
for the day is that I'm beginning to like the new Edwyn
Collins LP. At first I thought it was shit except for the
Mark E. Smith collaboration, but now I'm beginning to get
the hang of the rest of it. It's still a long way from
Orange Juice though.

I haven't read the NME interview, but it sounds good. The
last thing that really got my goat in the NME was when the
interviewer openly lambasted The Fugees for speaking to each
other in their own dialect. With interviewers of that
pedigree on board.....

Having said that, they've been fairly nice to B&S so far.
