Sinister: (nb&s) g-force/natalie merchant

[KATE ANDERSON]

g-forceps; last halloween me and my friends went to a party dressed 
up as.  we took it all quite seriously i was wiry keyop, but chrispy 
kelly looked best in his amazin' outfit as the red feller.  he even 
had a little tear painted on his cheek from when we discover that he 
is actually, in fact, MARK'S DAD.  wee michael who was dressed as 
mark didn't actually get to the party as he had spent so much energy 
on visiting charity shops that he went to sleep.  as jason, darri was 
wearing a customized maroon outfit typical of a young indian female i 
think.  most of us had our pants over our trousers and beaks made out 
of coloured acetate.
i like the episode where all the sugar in the world is gettin' stolen 
and at the end tiny would rather stay and stuff his fat face than 
escape.

ulysses?  did the song have the line "like a probe upon a ball of 
glue" or is that just me?

also, was i watching some version of children's bbc that only royston 
(?) gets, or was there a mascot called "bobby the banana"? please 
help. no one else believes me

not kid's classics now, natalie merchant's (ex-10,000 maniacs) album 
"ophelia" is out this week in uk which was a lovely surprise for me 
as all i knew about it was an ickle ad in nme.  any body else love 
that warm voice 'nd engulfing songs?  new album is easy to get into 
and the updated elektra site is quite classy, there's a great 
story/film/book/limited edition plate involved there (you'll see 
what i mean, lot's of fancy dress too).  she's doing a huge tour 
of the states but i'm just sad that she only ever comes to uk once in 
a blue monkey moon.  mail me if anyone wants to discuss her 
greatness.

auwar,
kate xx
