No, no I didn't mean it like that.  I like the idea of the list being
a sort of daily fanzine though.  Basically, I love it when people tell
me with a certain passion about new things, but I get a bit narky when
I hear such and such are good, no they're not, yes they, fuck off,
wanker ... and so on.  If someone writes I like Murray whathisfaace
because he makes me feel like this ... well that's great.  I may not
agree - I mean I remember going out for a drink with someone I used to
work with who loved opera.  I don't, but the way this guy talked about
it was very special.  Errm ... yeah sorry, the list as a fanzine ... I
like it!

The list is already a bit like a fanzine for me. I no longer feel the need
to shell out for "real" publications, such as the NME or Q or The Face or
anything of that kind. This is a major saving for me because they're all
twice the price here. Having said that, I do miss a bit of breakfast
reading. Had to make do with "Slaves of New York" this morning. Talk about
the cutting edge! I don't often buy things people talk about on the list,
but I do pick them up, turn them over, and think about it. I am one of those
sad people who wanders around shops in the afternoon, horribly aware that
the staff are thinking "Oh look, it's him again. Hasn't he got anything
better to do? He never buys anything. I wonder if he's mentally unstable?
Why is he looking in the back of "Uncut"? Why doesn't he just buy it?
Doesn't he like Monkey Brown?"

I thought it was really good. I particularly like the way it makes you feel
kind of dirty for about two weeks after. I certainly don't think it was
easy. I couldn't do it. I wouldn't know where to start. And it's a long way
from New Kids on the Block. And now Burt Reynolds has got two good films
under his belt. And nobody says "squeal piggy, squeal!" in this one. And it
features the godlike genius of ELO, which is really stirring, and God Only
Knows, which is really moving in that context. Sorry to ramble, I am trying
to practise what I preach.
