Is this the "it's going to rain, it's going to rain..."
bloke? Heard an interview with him on the radio not long
ago. Splendid chap, liked him a lot.

A question. The LWIII song on Big Star Live, Motel
Bloooooes, is it a comedy song originally? Obviously not
very comic in the Big Star version, but I read somewhere
that Loudon did a lot of comedy songs. Just a thought.

I've got The Legend of Blind Joe Death super extended CD
version with two versions of most songs. It's very nice,
especially for falling asleep to. According to the sleeve
notes, people in the swinging sixties used it as a
soundtrack for "making love". Takes all sorts dunt it?

Top one. I like the one with stairs in it. Or is that
someone else?

I believe that it is a country influence filtered through
the Orange Juice influence.

your address upstairs has changed, but this one remains the
same. Dark deeds are afoot in Devon.

I'm beginning to quite like that Pakistani bloke who kicked
the bucket, Nusfrat Fatty Kahn, or something similar. Him
and his mates really get into a groove. My new flat mates
have got an album called tropical feelings or something. It
makes you feel like you're in the rain forest, sitting
between a tinkling waterfall and a bloke with a synthesizer.
I quite enjoyed it. Then I said it reminded me of Tangerine
Dream, and for some reason they switched it off.
