Sinister: In a 10 Roddington Lonely Place

[Peter Miller]

I wonder if B&S will be doing cover versions when they tour again? I'd
love to see Isobel perform Fela Kuti onstage. I bet Mad Dog Murdoch
would too. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the cause of
all that guitar smashing business in Dublin. Mind you, it wouldn't be
the same without Stuart David looking on. I've been trying to think of
other bobble-hatted bass players. The only one I can remember is KEITH
from groovy train travelling all together now love sees no colour
Liverpudlians The Farm.

This afternoon I watched Leicester Tigers on Frenchie telly. Imagine
my partial surprise to see my old schoolmate "Dozzer" knocking seven
bells of shit out of the opponents. I was quite impressed, he seems to
have matured over the fifteen years or so since I last saw him. I
think he's a policeman now. I've also been keeping a close eye on the
Big Country bulletin board on their website. Relax kids, the inventor
of bagpipe guitars is safe and well. Hooray! Their former bus driver
still seems very bitter for getting the sack for saying U2 were better
than Big Country though. The rest of the fans are like Numanoids in
lumberjack shirts. I like Stuart Adamson for those echoing
"SHOUT-OUT-OUT-OUT!"s on their early 12 inch records. They were
undoubtedly a precursor of the hallucinatory dub effects made popular
by King Tubby ten years earlier. I think I'm going to go and put a
message of support on their bulletin board.

Mr Beaker, how did you teach Oon to swim? By chucking her in the water
and then sticking a betting slip on the end of a fishing rod and
dangling it just out of reach? Did she have a flutter on that
elephants' football match? And is she back on the list? The list
without Oon is like a meal without cheese.
