Well, it's dropped again to number 27.  I've spoken to our pluggers, and 
apparently TOTP generally don't play it, unless it's inside the 25, so 
it may not happen.  The band were originally going to play "Century", 
however as TOTP only play 3min tracks, they have pretty much decided 
that is they get asked to do it, then it'll be "Le Pastie", as that's 
3min1sec long (or something). I will be so disappointed if they don't 
get asked ... and I know the band will be too, considering how negative 
they usually are, this is obviously really inportant to them ... ho hum.

isn't that for who's on tonight?
 
there's going t be an interview with Richard and Stuart D. in the NME in 
2 weeks time, I think Neil and Chris may have also said a few things 
too, but you never know what's happening with B&S :)  Also, a Rebellious 
Jukebox from the Murdoch himself in Melody Maker soon-ish too.  Just 
keeping you all up-dated!

I couldn't remember Paul's site's address when I was talking to her, so 
I just said it was the one that used the cartoon which had a link from 
David's site ... i'm sorry, i'm a girl and i can't remember these long 
backslash underscore at colon dot thingies ... that's what boys and 
bookmark's are for!

Guess who's going record shopping tomorrow ... (ONLY JOKING!!!)
