Sinister: The Indestructible Township Jive of Preston

[PJMiller]

Legend has it that Paul McCartney rustled up "Helter Skelter" in
response to someone calling the Beatles puffs, so it can't have been
the first hard rock song. I beleive that honour goes to Ug, who beat
his hands to bloody stumps thrashing out proto-metal riffs on a lump
of grnite with a flint plectrum, also inadvertently inventing
axe-torching. Has anyone seen that Ringo Starr caveman film? Pure
unadulterated celluloid magic.....

The Smiths' "Barbarism Begins at Home" and Chic's "I Want Your Love"
are identical except for the woofing. I don't know if this is really
relevant to the discussion revolving around The Smiths and eighties
excess, but it's a handy faclet to drop into conversation down at the
indie night. For extra Morrissey points, pronounce Chic "chick", like
Simon Groom on Blue Peter.

Those of you wishing to check out Steve Cropper without defiling your
indie purity are directed towards Big Star's version of "Femme Fatale"
on the album "Sister Lovers". Mister Cropper contributes delicate
guitar archipelagoes, and in the background you can just make out the
sound of Ug being let loose on the pots and pans. However, it's not
very representative of either Cropper or Ug.

I thought Genevieve and Sarah's comments about Isobel's resemblance to
a cold fish were a welcome antidote to all that stuff about her
"darling voice", and not to be taken to heart. Mind you, I wouldn't
like to be in their shoes if Isobel sets her old dog who is very much
loved on them, or her brolley-wielding grandmother. Unless Genevieve
unleashes her heaving breasts. Breasts should be as hard as apples and
as dangerous as cannons, according to Nelson Mandela.

Well done Rachel Playforth, I'm glad to hear all those essays were
worth the effort after all. I don't like to blow my own flugel horn,
but I think my own encouragement definitely contributed to your
success. So send us a fiver.

lots of love,

Sister Disco
