      *---*      HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES    *---*

>Yesterday I was listening to Reading Festival on the radio. It was
>SUPERGRASS, and when they did their enormous hit song they were boosted by

>the proper drummer - and a very pleasant BUTCH VIG interview.

oh noooo! when was it on the radio! i missed it! i was there on the saturday
for supergrass, even though i opted to see unbelievable truth instead, and
so i only caught the last few songs of 'the grass'..it's a shame belle &
sebastian weren't playing - then it would have reeely been the perfect
festival. 
but it was great as it was..except for the fact that the wonderfull jonathan
fire*eater have split up..which was devastating news for me.
oh, and echo and the bunnymen were poo, so i ran off to get severely crushed
in the crowd of idlewild fans instead. 
i ran away and went shopping as soon as rancid appeared - then i went and
saw snug. 
i have to say that the rulers of the day were the beastie boys. never have i
danced so much.
but anyway, erm, oh yes - that b&s song 'wrong love', is it going to appear
on any cd at any time? kos i didn't notice it on the track listing for the
album, and i really do love that song so much (and please excuse me fr being
very ignorant, but who sings the lead vocals on that song?).
ok i'm going now BYE
