Sinister: Re: Smut, Xfm, dogs

[Stephen Garland]

Hello there,

1. Dog on wheels
Did anyone see last Friday's London Evening Standard Magazine? There was a
picture of an alsation with no back legs, but wheels to replace them. It
looked a pretty happy dog, too, buy hey, who wouldn't be if they could
freewheel down hills?  The most curious thing was that it had a Tax Disc
attached. The article said that dogs don't need Road Tax, but Snow ploughs
do. So everyone out there with a snow plough be warned.

2. Snow patrol
I think I accidentally heard a song by these on Sean Hughes' radio show on
Saturday afternoon. Does anyone know of Xfm is any good these days? I
stopped listening when it became part of Capital but didn't even try it
out, so I can't judge. Hughes seemed to be playing some decent alternative
stuff, and Lamacq on R1 does a good job, too. Not the same as 24hrs-a-day
alternative, but there's some there.

3. Smut
The bit you were waiting for, eh? Rumour has it that a, erm, friend of
mine allegedly was doing 'it' to TBWTAS, and reached his peak of
excitement during the album's trough - ie Chickfactor (the CD must've been
on Random play, because he could never last that long, surely?). This
follows on from a similar incident with the Pulp Fiction soundtrack
playing, and Captain Kangaroo being the trigger. Romantic or what?

Catchya later, llama fans,

Stevie -G-
