Hello Kittys,

I never thought id mail to this list again and would be lurking for
the rest of my list-life but here i am again to fill your inbox with
confused ramblings.

I may be a fuckwit (may?) but what is a ned? I know its scottish, i
know its insulting, i infer it is about what english people call
townies but id like a confirmation. Please.

Someone mentioned the omnipotence of mercury rev recently and their
appearance on radio 2. Did anyone see them getting gunged in the
historic last episode of noels house party? Jonothan's idiotic grin as
the custard splattered, Grasshopper attacking mr blobby with his bowed
saw, unforgettable.

Someone else mentioned Stephen Dalton's comments on bowlie (sorry
theres no 'angela tweecardie said' and quotes from the post but im a
lazy lazy man). The simple answer is that stephen dalton is a
journalist and therefore intrinsicly wrong in every way. A more
complicated answer is beyond my mere mortal powers. 

There's been a big discussion on music, how it makes you feel in terms
of lyrics, tunes emotions etc. I believe you shouldnt analyse this
sort of thing too much and unfortunately cant explain my views any
more as i would be breaking my own rule. Well, maybe i will say it
just seems pointlessto over-analyse the emotional in the same way the
being over-emotional about analytical things like maths and numbers is
equally futile. 'I'll only read a book for the way it looks, then i'll
put it on the shelf again' said some fey scots bastard. Irelevant, but
it sounds good. I often like lyrics but have no idea what they mean,
and frankly i dont want to. In Slow Grafitti, after the bit about the
painting i have no idea what the song means but the words just sound
good together and illicit an emotional response. Damn, i've said too
much, broken my own rule. Forget what you've heard, i wasnt here
right!

If you can watch divorcing jack, spanish prisoner, zero effect and
listen to stina nordenstam, deus and stereolab. Not a recommendation,
an order!

i grow tired of you, please leave me to rest,
Say it loud, I'm crap and i'm proud,
Rich
