Sinister: v-twin

[andrew dean]

the new v-twin single is out this week, on domino. and it's great.
"stevie jackson and chris geddes appear courtesy of jeepster records"
(stevie plays harmonica). they've obviously grown up listening to the
velvet underground and primal scream. no bad thing. orangey cover and
nice orange disc which is the exact same shade as the mezzanine cd that
i took out of the player in order to put the v-twin single in.

buying the paper this morning i noticed what was probably a motor cycle
mag on the shelf near the cash register. MAX, i think it was called.
anyway, this month it includes a sheet of free stickers one of which
says 'honk if you smell of wee'. don't know why.

in said paper there was a piece on second hand fashion and there was a
gratuitous picture of isobel. "some follow the lead of alternative icons
like isobel campbell of belle and sebastian who was wearing headscarves
and 60s slip dresses years before they hit the high street." in the
photo she looks like she's on her way to a quaker meeting but hey...

have been leafing through old copies of the nme and melody maker
salvaging the good articles and recycling the rest in an attempt to cut
down on the piles of crap i have to take with me when i move. came
across the review of the first mogwai single and, well, i couldn't've
read it at the time cos i'd've rushed out and bought it if i had.
strange seeing references to things you've just started getting into,
reviews of things you're just buying having latched onto an artists
later works.

yes, after 4 months of being unemployed i get offered two jobs in 27
hours. went to cambridge yesterday for an interview having been pretty
much promised a job in hammersmith on wednesday afternoon (i wouldn't've
gone only it was too late to cancel and i fancied a day out) and i get
an offer there as well. who'd've thought? instant 5000 quid a year pay
rise too but seeing as it entails a move to london that'll all go on
rent and the obligatory mobile phone (they won't let you step off the
train or bus in london without a valid ticket and a mobile phone, it's
the law. they actually do city and guilds certificates on how to make
and receive calls whilst commuting. people who master the art of calling
someone on a train whilst they are travelling on another train (or,
indeed, the same train) get special credit)

in cambridge i saw a bootleg cd 'seeing other people' which seemed to be
the paris gig and some bbc sessions.

forget washing machines or tumble driers, my sources tell me that those
oscillating power showers are the future.

hear billy bragg doing the narration of 'soldiers to be' on bbc1 earlier
this week? an inspired choice.

i think i saw trousers booking plane tickets about half an hour after
this was posted ;)

thanks oon. your parcel arrived this morning. 8)
