Sinister: trembling blue stars and bird story

[Lucy Munro]

Chris quoted:

> "ooooh its not that beautiful"
"Trendy Jehovah's Witnessess listen to this band. 
It is lo-fi music with the potential to be better, but in reality 
misses the mark. Try Trembling Blue Stars. Much better." <

I like the bit about B&S being "not that beautiful" - "well, 
they're beautiful, but not *that* beautiful".  And the idea of 
trendy Jehovah's Witnesses listening to them.  What does a non-trendy 
Jehovah's Witness listen to then?  The Housemartins?  

Chris also asked what Trembling Blue Stars sound like. Well, kind of 
sparse and fragile, sometimes a little bit dancey, sometimes a little 
bit epic.  Frequently wonderful, but not very much like B&S.  And not 
particularly lo-fi, but then I wouldn't have said that B&S were lo-fi 
either.  Lo-fi always makes me think of scratchy people with out of 
tune guitars.

Trembling Blue Stars are on Shinkansen though, so presumably they're 
boycotted because Matt from Shinkansen was facetious about Jeepster 
on his website...

A cousin of mine used to have a running battle with a duck when she 
was a child.  Apparantly the duck used to creep up behind her and 
bite her on the bottom.  In retaliation my cousin used to pick the 
duck up, deposit it somewhere unpleasant (usually the dustbin), and 
walk off rubbing her hands and saying, under her breath, "serves 
himself, serves himself..."  I think the duck was probably eaten in 
the end, it being the '50s and all.

I've not shagged Gene Simmons yet.  But a friend of mine went to 
review them the other week, so I have my suspicions.  Their new CD 
has a really scary 3-D, picture changes when you tilt it type of 
thing on the cover; showing Gene with his tongue out (and that's a 
*lot* of tongue) if I remember correctly.
