Sinister: Fuck the jury

[Keith Watson]

As Paul was saying we indeed had a good time singing songs in the Church - that was a strange experience. The longest day was ace too and it was great meeting JJ and the Blairs, whom I spent time with in Bar Miro (where we drank booze) and then the park watching Teenage Fanclub. The longest day reallly is totally great, a free concert, how top is that, it was beautiful too, the weather was lovely and everyone had a great time, I'm not even all that big a Teenage Fanclub fan, but I enjoyed it.
    We kept our eyes open for Dave, but we didn't see him, were you there Dave? Didn't see any of the other bands really so I can't comment on them.

    Also, I had an idea as to how the Luddites can deal with CD's. If you buy one 7" single (it doesn't have to be a good one) and slip it out of its sleeve and pop it on the record player *whilst* playing your cd player, after track one, jump up and turn the thing over, you can repeat until the CD is finished.
    Myself, the same as some others went and bought CD players cause they wanted their record collection to last the rest of their lives. I'd say that if anyone claims that records last a lifetime and don't deteriorate in quality massively then they're simply not playing them enough. It was actually Screamadelica that pushed most of the people I knew into buying a CD player cause it is I'd say almost perfect for CD and was one of the first albums as such, it's too much of a pain in the arse to turn the record over after every three tracks. Still, for all that there is another argument pro records, what I kind of miss is the defined difference between the first and second sides. I suppose for a glaringly obvious example David Bowie's Low, which is completely different on side one and side two, songs on side one and ambient stuff on side two (the record was originally going to be called New music for night and day) and this is kind of nice.

Well that's my tuppence worth on the record debate.

Cheers,
    Keith.
