Hello peebles,

Not wanting to turn this into a film mailing list (that seems to be
happening anyway) just thought id start with a few comments about
Chasing Amy and its merits/faults. Point one: never trust anyone who
says 'i havent seen this film but.....' and then has an opinion on it.
Not the best basis for a critique. Secondly the film is
autobiographical (the writer/director used to go out with the female
star) so to say they have no idea about it seems harsh. Also, the film
really has fuck-all to do with lesbianism, just happens to have one in
it (well more bisexual but still).

Anyway, onto something more on-topic. The Blair Witch Project.....not
really.

Seriously, someone mentioned wichita lineman. I love that song. And it
was horrifically butchered on songwriters circle by both jimmy webb
and the other chappie. Cant beat glen campbell's version. Isobels long
lost country uncle?

quick advert: go to www,imagineradio.com, its a great site that ive
been raving to everyone i know about it (and hes getting fed up). You
can make your own radio station and its got loads of cool bands. If
your there check out the Bellendsebastian station in the soho scene,
er, daddio.

can anyone recommend a good tindersticks album to start with? (dont
say all of them, ive heard thwyre great)

Bis's new song is really good, how did that happen? It hasnt got any
screeching in it at all!! And its got proper singing and everything.
Slinkier than isaac hayes playing with a slinky.

NME gave puff daddys new single single of the week. Dont believe them,
its poo on toast, a note for note copy of the original (theres a
surprise coming from him) that manages to lose any of the good stuff
from the original. But then it is the NME. They know nowt about nowt.


This message will self destruct in five seconds (or when you delete
it)

Bye
Rich
