it's a beautiful day today.. finally, summer!

so, lessee.. every so often i get the urge to lug out all my old school
sassy magazines - remember when it was the coolest magazine around? i was
outraged when it turned into another ym clone.. anyway, in the bookstore
yesterday, i decided to buy -jane- magazine, created by the former sassy
editor with a few of the writers alongside.. ergg, not as good as sassy, but
okay i suppose... i still miss sassy. i could imagine b&s being a cute band
alert or something.. or stuart murdoch as an advice giver for the "dear boy"
column.. heehee.

anyway, as i was reading the magazine, christina kelly (the coolest writer
from sassy!) mentioned the documentary about bob dylan, -don't look back- .
i'm probably the last one to know that this is what b&s were referring to in
"like dylan in the movies".. she says that Dylan in the 60s documentary is
"a hilarious, sarcastic badass who toyed with the media and the cult of
celebrity, and stood for revolution and freedom of expression.." - it kind
of describes b&s too, no?

umm, what else.. oh, i've been playing this a lot lately, and i didnt notice
it with the other tigermilk chords, so - if you're so inclined to add this
to your b&s cover band repertoire, voila.. (it's really easy, and im
probably wrong :) )

                         g                      d

who could blame her if she's sleeping

etc...

band name from a book? well, isnt it a shame that roald dahl's wonderful
-charlie and the chocolate factory-'s veruca salt is attributed to that
band? if i myself started a band (i'm warning you now - this will happen
soon), i always liked the name the quentin blake's, after the illustrator of
many dahl books.. yes.

bye :)
